Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

OMGOSH I remeber like 80% of this stuff. Furbies... wow I got so mad when they didnt listen to me. I was born in 92, BTW.

1991 is like the first real year I can remember. OMG I was like they don't have or do that stuff anymore... awww. My kid is missing out!

I also remember in those early years telling myself I would not be my parents and hold on to memories of stuff like that. Thanks Paula Now I am having flash backs. lol!

Wow, I remember a lot of that stuff (I was born in '86, so I was 4 when the 90s began). I especially remember the shows like Step by Step and Family Matters and the cartoons and such on PBS. I also remember Oregon Trail days in computer class. LOL. Yeah, what can I say, I actually miss some of the aspects of the 90's....like Saturday morning cartoons that were actually worth watching.

Ok I think I'm gonna make some comments

LOL Ice Ice BABY!!! Vanilla Ice Ice Baby He was totally the man back in the day...

Doug was cool when it was on Nick.. once he went to Disney, he wasn't as cool.. I even had the Doug's First Movie Skeeter was by far the best charactor on that show..

Ren & Stimpy... LOL loved the song...

Pinky and the Brain... So much cooler than Animaniacs, but wouldn't have made it with out them.. They're Pinky and the Brain, Pinky and the Brain.. One is a genius, the other insane, They're laboratory mice, their genes have been spliced, they're dinky, they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.. NARF!!!

Rocko's Modern Life was cool too.. didn't really get into AAAAAAAH Real Monters! myself...

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In west Philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of school
When a couple of guys said 'we're up to no good'
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said 'You're moving with your Aunte and Uncle in Bel-Air'

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said 'I might as well kick it'

First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like,
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said 'fresh' and had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby 'yo, home smell you later'
I looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

Legends of the Hidden Temple was cool... Step by Step.. LOL I remember that theme song too... Family Matters... Steve Urkel was like a god... Dinosaurs.. FUNNY.. Boy Meets World, I had the biggest crush on Shawn and Wild and Crazy Kids was cool too...

I kicked butt at Oregon Trail!!

We still use Rock Paper Scissors at work... lol but one of my favorites of those was the one about Susie...

Miss Susie had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
When Susie went to heaven
The steamboat went to
Hello operator, give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I'll kick you right behind
The refridgerator there lay a piece of glass
Miss Susie slipped upon it and broke her little
Ask me no more questions
Tell me no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom zipping up their
Flies are in the meadow,
The bees are in the park
All the little boys and girls
Are kissing in the dark, dark, dark!
The dark is like the movies
The movie's like a show
The show is like the TV.,
And that is all I know
I know, I know my mother
I know, I know my pa
I know, I know my sister
With the forty acre bra

or the other verison of that that was:

Miss Susie had a baby
She named his Tiny Tim
She put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim
He drank up all the water
He ate up all the soap
He tired to eat the bathtub
But it wouldn't go down his throat
He floated up the river
He floated down the lake
And now Miss Susie's baby
Has got a bellyache
Miss Susie called the doctor
The doctor called the nurse
The nurse called the lady
With the alligator purse
"Measles," said the doctor
"Mumps," said the nurse
"A virus," said the lady
With the alligator purse
"Penicillin," said the doctor
"Bes rest," said the nurse
"Pizza," said the lady
With the alligator purse
"He'll live," said the doctor
"He's all right," said the nurse
"I'm leaving," said the lady
With the alligator purse
"I don't want the doctor,
I dont' want the nurse,
I want the lady,
With the alligator purse"
Miss Susie gave me peaches
And then she gave me pears
And then she gave me fifty cents
And kicked me up the stairs
My mother was born in England,
My father was born in France,
And I was born in diapers
Because I didn't have any pants!

Cops and Robbers was like the daily activity of our neighborhood...

I also kicked butt at Carmen San Diego... And I always wanted to go on that show...

My older brother made fun of me for watching Captain Planet...

Super NES... We never got... We went from the original NES to a Playstation.. I know I know.. there was a long time in between...

We had videos that we wanted to send in to America's Funniest Home Videos, but never got the chance to... We so would have won too...

Saw Home Alone 1 and 2, lost interest by the time 3 came along.. Favorite one is 2 though.. I love the brick scene.. "Suck brick kid!"

Where's Waldo was awesome... I was good at those...

Warheads.. LOL yummy

Batman... Awesome... Aladdin, loved Abu!!! Ninja Turtles... I met them (They had guys in the costumes signing autographs at the video store and giving out stickers.. along with pizza and pop... FOR FREE)... Ghost Busters.. LOL The Marshmellow Man!!!

lol, Jolie, I remember those last two songs too, but not all the lyrics like you. When I was a kid we sang, "Midnight on the Ocean". There are a lot of versions of that song, but the one my family sang went like this: (I know, weird I still remember this)

It was midnight on the ocean,
Not a trolly car in sight.
So I stepped into the market
to get myself a light.
Now the man behind the counter
was a lady old and grey
Who used to peddle shoestrings
in a junky model A.

Singing,
"Eenie meenie mennie, miney moe
catch a hecker pecker by the toe,
and if he hollers hollers hollers,
let him go.
Hey boy roll'em, hey boy roll em' home.

I woke up early this morning
Surprised at what I saw.
The bedbugs and the roaches
were having a game of ball.
Now the score was 19-20
the roaches were ahead.
The bedbugs hit a homerun
and knocked me out of bed!

Singing,
"Eenie meenie mennie, miney moe
catch a hecker pecker by the toe,
and if he hollers hollers hollers,
let him go.
Hey boy roll'em, hey boy roll em' home.

That's a 90s show.
and I LOVED it when I was little.

LOL!
Hey I so remember them! I also thought ofSkinnamarink TV. I used to watched that when I was like in 4th grade all the time. But I could only find the song under "Sharon Lois & Bram's Elephant Show"

Also loved Eureka's Castle
and
OMG, Sailor Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And my favorite cartoon of all time
THE X-MEN

Actually Paula, I couldn't remember how we ended the first one so I googled it.. And that was what I found, but that's not how we ended it... We actually sang it (and did the hand thinger) like this:

Miss Susie had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
When Susie went to heaven
The steamboat went to
Hello operator, give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I'll kick you right behind
THe refridgerator, there lay a piece of glass
Miss Susie slipped upon it and broke her little
Ask me no more questions
Tell me no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom zipping up their
Flies are in the garden,
The bees are in the hive
Sorry operator you gave me number five
Miss Susie dyed her hair pink
Miss Susie dyed her hair purple
She dyed it orange with polka-dots
And washed it down the sink...

LOL...I used to have two little banana in pajama stuffed "animals".

Wow... that's a long list! I still have my walkman, baybeh. I was never into most of this stuff though... heh, ninja turtles aside! I did have a certain level of horrid fascination with the "Must See TEEVEE" block.

quote:

Captain Planet. He's a Hero.

Made me LOL.

What on earth is Legends of the Hidden Temple? And is there any living generation which doesn't rely on Rock Paper Scissors to bring peace and order to interpersonal conflicts?

I remember almost all of that stuff and I was born in 1989! My brother and I (who was born in '87) used to listen to the radio all day to tape our favorite songs...I laughed so hard when I saw that one.

Oh, I use to do that too. The one song I almost always tried to record was "Roll to Me" by Del Amitri. That was one of my favorite songs of the 90s. However, they play that song at work so much now I'm starting to get tired of it (although I still love it).
