@@iamdragonettatoo hell yes. Remember all the great mini-series that Mom liked for romance and Dad liked for the war/history. Remember after school coming home and watching things like Batman, WKRP, Welcome Back Kotter. Remember figuring out which of your friends were each member of the A-Team. The weird feelings you would get watching the shiny aerobic outfits. Before you owned a VCR renting one along with movies for a weekend sleepover. Older cousins who would rent really bad horror movies like Maniac and Funhouse.
And yet here you are watching a video on the Internet on your device, a video that has been edited and made by technology that did not exist in the 80's, and sharing your thoughts about an earlier time period with like minded individuals that you probably would never previously have met or communicated with on social media.
Well said everyone hard to believe now where it's goin the World wise.Getting old suxs who would have thought also flawless about the 80s coming into it's 40s yikes gosh omg scary never knew at the time and as a kid it would happen doesn't deserve that least we grow and die knowing we are with the 80s forever
Born in the 60’s. Child in the 70’s. Teenager/Young Adult in the 80’s. Parent in the 90’s. Middle Aged in the 2000’s. Grandparent in the 2010’s. Getting ready to retire in the 2020’s. If I had to choose 1 decade to go back to it would undoubtedly be the 80’s! Greatest decade of my life!
I remember when this song came out. I remember listening to this song, & really wondering about when I got older if I would “Wanna Go Back.” Well, it is now 2023, & I Most Definitely Wanna Go Back to the 80s! What a decade! What a great time to have been coming-of-age! Best decade ever! Great Tribute Song to the 80s, the decade that shaped Generation X!
I didn’t even discover this song until like 4-5 years ago! I knew Eddie Moneys other hits but never heard this one until later. Great song and powerful
I was a sophomore in high school when Billy Joel's "This Is The Time" was released and I remember feeling bittersweet about the lyrics, knowing that they were true. I knew even then that it was a magical time. This is the time to remember Cause it will not last forever These are the days to hold on to Cause we won't, although we'll want to
I miss my 80’s. No confusion..nobody thought they were birds or ice cream machines, phones weren’t ringing while going for a walk or camping, friends hanging out in public & not inside, leaving a door unlocked wasn’t a death wish, life didn’t require internet in order to talk to a Dr, get ahold of a friend..you made a call & someone answered, kids had respect cause even school would whoop our backside to learn the lesson of behaving & respect ♥️♥️

Definitely no cell phones. We had to actually talk to one another back then. None of this walking around like a zombie with phones stuck in our face like today.
100% agree! And skywalker6268 is right, the Internet and social media have complete destroyed human interaction and turned it into some cold, digital, and anonymous. We have become hatefuI and crueI because it is so easy to say the worst things imaginable when you know you're not going to get busted in the chops for it. And it is absolutely destroyed the dating landscape but making actual human interaction an afterthought.
Being a kid of the late 70's early 80's with BMX Bikes and skateboards. Then graduated late 80's cruising in my 67 Camaro with high school sweetheart, shooting pool with guys on Friday nights ...take me back .
Bet you wish you had your 67 back. Sold mine in 89. In 2012 I bought a 69 Camaro. In the 80’s they were what we could get. 2012 it wasn’t the 2000 dollar car anymore either. Can you put a price on nostalgia? Nope!!

Class of ‘82 !! Graduated college in 1987. And then spent a year in Spain. This song is all about me. Hell yes, I wanna go back to the 80s!! I can’t properly put into words just how amazing and wonderful the 80s were. It’s a cliche, but it was truly a magical time to spend ages 15 to 25. The music was the best there’s ever been. The parties were crazy, and the movies and sitcoms were the best! Take me back, please!!
It's amazing, growing up in the 80's, every Sunday morning they aired an Abbott and Costello movie and those movies were from the 1940's and I thought that 40 years was was a long time and now, the 80's feels like yesterday and I can't believe how time flew by so fast. This was such a great time to grow up and it would be great to go back for one more time.
@@gen-x-dad it really is amazing, when we were growing up in the 80's, 40 years felt like it was a long time ago and now it feels like it was yesterday. I guess it's all about perception but now I realize what my parents meant when they said time flies because it sure does.
I turned 20 in 1980 and my wife turned 19. We were together then and we still are a thing. Forty-one years and still going. The 80's were more than magical. The 80's were a decade of discovery about many things! We would go back in a moment!

@@johnjamesjoseph3814 It really was. Seville, Spain is so beautiful. The people of Seville were so good to us. In my case, I was so blessed to live with Pepita and Manolo Gutierrez y Prada. They were husband and wife, 62 and 58 years old at the time. They really spoiled me. Spanish people are so friendly and outgoing. And of course, Spain has such incredible history. I lived just two blocks away from Rio Guadalquivir which is the river used by Christopher Columbus to bring back gold to Spain from the New World. Pretty historical.
The 80's were a special time for me. It was a great time to be a teenager, and young adult. Fond memories of me, my mom and dad and my brother and sister all together as a family. And most of all, my best friend David, he and I did all kinds of crazy things together, and made plans for the future that never came to fruition. Now my dad is gone, and David is gone, and I think about them and those times often. Yep, the best decade ever.....
Dear Lord, I appreciate and am grateful for you allowing me to grow up in the 80’s. You blessed me so much and I will never forget that period in my life. Keep blessing us dear Lord, Amen…
There was no other decade like the 80’s the music and everything about it was perfect. I can’t think of a song that can set the 70’s or 90’s like Eddie Moneys “I wanna go back”

I kind of wish Facebook would have come along a bit earlier though. It turned out to be a great way to connect with old classmates and friends we had lost touch with. I could do without the "discourse", the influencers, and all that, but the original functions of Facebook I thought were great. I mean who didn't look up their old crushes on Facebook???
Eddie Money was always under apprecaited here in Canada. Other than Two Tickets he really didn't get much love. His "Can't Hold Back" album was one of my most listened to back in the day.
I miss every second of it....If you had explained to me back then, how things were gonna go, I'd have laughed untill I puked...But here we are...At least i can say I lived through it. And it made me the person I am today....
As time goes on and we start to lose more of the friends, families and celebrities we had in our lives. We will still have the memories of the 80’s to remember them by ❤️😢
I graduated in 1980 from 1980 until 1989 I experienced all life had to offer the best decade of my life I would go back and do it all over in a heartbeat. Loved the 80’s
We had great movies, TV shows and music with no smartphones, no emails, no text, no internet .we went to night clubs to meet new people and have fun. We could fix our own cars with no computers. We rented movies from a store and looked forward to seeing it. I miss the 80s. Great time to grow up.
1984 was the best year of the 80's. The music the movies the tv shows I was 14 years old, doesn't get any better then that!! For me anyway. ❤❤ ❤ the 80s
Ghostbusters, The Terminator, Beverly Hills Cop, Indiana Jones, The Karate Kid, Van Halen 1984 Album, LA Olympics, Magic and Larry finally meet in NBA FINALS, The Great One wins his first Stanley Cup, yeah 1984 was the year that JUMP STARTED the rest of the decade!!! @@gen-x-dad
Omg we had it made, what a time to be in your prime. I had such a good time and still do at 54 but nothing like the 80s and early 90s. The music, movies, malls, girls and parents that didn't care where we were.
I was born in the 70's and now in my 50's, this song hits even harder. Never in a million years would I guess that I would be listening to 2 songs in one, only discernible by the passage of time. Happy sad has never been so relevant. :(
Absolutely the greatest decade ever. Classic of 87 here and it was glorious. Saw the best concerts, had the best fashion, and was just a much simpler time in life.
God I miss the 80s. I was 10 years old in 1980 so my teen years were throughout the 80s. They were the best of times. I wanna go back… Thank you for the video.
God man how I wish. Was just watching vision quest with my ten yr old son. They have no idea how great it was to live free of cell phones and nonsense. These movies defined us. The music too!
Great tribute! I was born in the mid-70s but I remember the 80s like they were yesterday! Looking back I always wished I was 10 years older so I could have partied properly in the 80s but I was still lucky to have a taste in my early teens. Amazing days, we'll never experience this larger-than-life era ever again. I wanna go back NOW!!!
This tune...just brings a tear to my eye. As a Gen X'er, remembering vividly all the clips...and everyone I've met...most of them gone...literally and figuratively. Wow. Thanks for posting. Season's Greetings from Toronto, Canada.
Pac-Man, Berzerk,Galaga we had it all Key Largo Bertie Higgins,Words don't come easy like it's becoming now the last 10years Fr David to Wonderful Life Black.Knight Rider,Airwolf,Street Hawk to He-man, Transformers and Dinosaucers i could go on.Competition in Music Massively all around the World Movies and Sport was hard it's different now.
The great thing about modern technology is we can revisit the audio/video memories of the 80s just by typing into the search box at RUclips. But I would give anything to be able to go back to an 1980s mall, full of people, full of stores, the sound of the fountains, the smell of Drakkar Noir filling the air when you walked into the anchor department store. There's quite a sad feeling you get when you go to your 80s mall in the 2020s and realize---if it's even still there----that you can never go back to what it was like way back when.
Heya! I’m a new artist trying to find my community, I’ve released a song about going back to better times, it’s 80s inspired, would you like to take a listen? 😁
Thank you Gen X Dad for discovering this Eddie Money (RIP) track to me , and also making this sublime 80s montage video. Aint gonna lie, brought a tear to this grown mans eye !. :)
That's like a 4 minute time machine and I remember just about all of those scenes. What a great decade to be a teenager it was. I would love to see a teenager right now trying to use a rotary phone! LMAO

Back when times were WAY better. Lived it, loved it, miss it.
The 80's deserved two decades.
Born ´77 here, and I strongly do believe that the '90s were the 1980s light.😊
In my opinion, the 80s DIDN'T NEED TO END AT ALL.
I have always felt super blessed to have grown up as a teen in the 80’s. Those who didn’t have no idea what they missed.
I'm a proud 80's kid. My daughter always asks me what it was like to grow up in the 80's. I get teary eyed telling her what it was like 😢
pop culture peaked in the 80's
The 80s, was a roller coaster ride for me man what a time!!
Met my wife in 86 at age 17 and we're still going in 2024. Watching this video together. I would go back and relive every single moment together ❤️

I miss every second of it....If you had explained to me back then, how things were gonna go, I'd have laughed untill I puked...But here we are...At least i can say I lived through it. And it made me the person I am today....
Born in 76 child of the 80s if I knew what was on the horizon I would have never left. Yes I would go back.
I love how they show 80s pop culture
Best decade ever! I would be first in line if a ‘Time Machine’ could take me back there! 😂
I'm 56 and was born October 23, 1968. My teen years all took place in the 1980s and it would be fun to experience the best decade of my life again. 😂
I am so glad I got the grow up in the 70s and 80s. Those definitely were the best days of our lives. Oh.....and I wanna go back.
Gen X'er here. This song has been playing daily in my head for the last few years 😢 Yes, Eddie, I DO want to go back!! 😎🎶
Love this! Class of 86.
Same here!
My mom still loves listening to her "oldies". My dad sort of shorted out when I mentioned that 80s music is my oldies. It's the music we grew up to.
As time goes on and we start to lose more of the friends, families and celebrities we had in our lives. We will still have the memories of the 80’s to remember them by ❤️😢
Great song! Oh how I wanna go back too. The great times of the 80's, glad I was there. Great job.
I think we all wanna go back.
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
I graduated in 1980 from 1980 until 1989 I experienced all life had to offer the best decade of my life I would go back and do it all over in a heartbeat. Loved the 80’s
Grew up in the 80s. Blessed. Born in the 70s, raised in the 80s. You Zoomers and Millennials have no idea how bad you have it.
Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Great memories from the 80s. I'd want to go back, too!4
We had great movies, TV shows and music with no smartphones, no emails, no text, no internet .we went to night clubs to meet new people and have fun. We could fix our own cars with no computers. We rented movies from a store and looked forward to seeing it. I miss the 80s. Great time to grow up.
Would go back in a heartbeat! 80s was and always will be the BEST decade ❤️
1984 was the best year of the 80's. The music the movies the tv shows I was 14 years old, doesn't get any better then that!! For me anyway. ❤❤ ❤ the 80s
agree about 1984
exactly no internet or smart phones good times best music best movies tv shows should have stayed in the 80s haha
‘84 was a great year!!
1989 ranks up there too!!! The SUMMER of 1989 had the most BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES hit the THEATRES ever in American History!!!
Ghostbusters, The Terminator, Beverly Hills Cop, Indiana Jones, The Karate Kid, Van Halen 1984 Album, LA Olympics, Magic and Larry finally meet in NBA FINALS, The Great One wins his first Stanley Cup, yeah 1984 was the year that JUMP STARTED the rest of the decade!!! @@gen-x-dad
Oh. That young suited Michael J. Fox pirouette makes me both elated and heartbroken at the same instant.
This just gave me a midlife crisis. Damn do I miss the 80s..
It was golden era for sure….. but i didnt know that when i was living in 80s
We really didn't know at the time just how great and amazing we had it. #iwannagoback
Class of 1981. Had it so good back then.
Class of 1765 here. What is this You Tube thing and why is the King taxing the Colonists soo much?
Gawd I miss the 80’s I really wish we could go back
Omg we had it made, what a time to be in your prime. I had such a good time and still do at 54 but nothing like the 80s and early 90s. The music, movies, malls, girls and parents that didn't care where we were.
I was born in the 70's and now in my 50's, this song hits even harder. Never in a million years would I guess that I would be listening to 2 songs in one, only discernible by the passage of time. Happy sad has never been so relevant. :(
i was born in 72 . the 80s was a god blessed decade . so happy I lived it
Thanks for that. It was like a four minute vacation back to when everything was still good.
Absolutely the greatest decade ever. Classic of 87 here and it was glorious. Saw the best concerts, had the best fashion, and was just a much simpler time in life.
God I miss the 80s. I was 10 years old in 1980 so my teen years were throughout the 80s. They were the best of times. I wanna go back…
Thank you for the video.
God man how I wish. Was just watching vision quest with my ten yr old son. They have no idea how great it was to live free of cell phones and nonsense. These movies defined us. The music too!
Cell phones are an invasion of privacy imo things were better withought them
@@bjeffrey1863 yup
Kids nowadays have no idea how good we had it..
You bet!!!!!👍😁👌
Great tribute! I was born in the mid-70s but I remember the 80s like they were yesterday! Looking back I always wished I was 10 years older so I could have partied properly in the 80s but I was still lucky to have a taste in my early teens. Amazing days, we'll never experience this larger-than-life era ever again. I wanna go back NOW!!!
I ❤️ the 80’s we were young and we all thought we would live forever ♾️ 💕 I miss everyone so much. 💗
Thumbs up for class of 1990, we're officially old now, the big 5O
well i beat you by a couple years, but that's a big milestone for sure!
Yea I graduated high school in 90 lol
Same
You're old AF
I love the 80s. I miss it so much. I want to go back.
Big difference now obviously..in my 40s and watching an uploaded video to time travel....thank you
This tune...just brings a tear to my eye. As a Gen X'er, remembering vividly all the clips...and everyone I've met...most of them gone...literally and figuratively. Wow. Thanks for posting. Season's Greetings from Toronto, Canada.
🍁❄❄❄
Great song for a tribute video. Well done.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Graduated in 86! Those were the best of times!
STYX..The Best of Times..
Pac-Man, Berzerk,Galaga we had it all Key Largo Bertie Higgins,Words don't come easy like it's becoming now the last 10years Fr David to Wonderful Life Black.Knight Rider,Airwolf,Street Hawk to He-man, Transformers and Dinosaucers i could go on.Competition in Music Massively all around the World Movies and Sport was hard it's different now.
Class of 1982. Vinyl records, long phone cords, and crappy TVs. What a time!! We had to talk to one another, and listen to great music!!
Oh yeah!! The 80's was soooo fun!! Absolutely would go back if I could!!
I'll always miss da 80's Rock&Roll movie's and and just being a teenager and concerts and hanging out with friends and family
The great thing about modern technology is we can revisit the audio/video memories of the 80s just by typing into the search box at RUclips. But I would give anything to be able to go back to an 1980s mall, full of people, full of stores, the sound of the fountains, the smell of Drakkar Noir filling the air when you walked into the anchor department store. There's quite a sad feeling you get when you go to your 80s mall in the 2020s and realize---if it's even still there----that you can never go back to what it was like way back when.
Great video and song.80s was cool
Heya! I’m a new artist trying to find my community, I’ve released a song about going back to better times, it’s 80s inspired, would you like to take a listen? 😁
Thank you Gen X Dad for discovering this Eddie Money (RIP) track to me , and also making this sublime 80s montage video. Aint gonna lie, brought a tear to this grown mans eye !. :)
You never know you are in the good old days until they are over - Andy from the Office
What a time, from movies, TV shows, music and wrestling
thanks, glad to hear another shout out for wrestling
I remember when this song came out, and I thought it was so pathetic, singing about missing the old days. Now I really feel it.
Had I known then what I know now I would have never made it out of the 80s alive....The greatest years of society
Ah the good old days proud to be a 80's baby now and forever
So many classics love it! Career Opportunities does seem like an 80s movie but it was in '91
yes thats why I had it first in the vid..they were already wanting to be back 😄
That's like a 4 minute time machine and I remember just about all of those scenes. What a great decade to be a teenager it was. I would love to see a teenager right now trying to use a rotary phone! LMAO
