15 Nostalgic YouTube Videos From The Best Decade... The 80s

I am not ashamed to admit that I love the 80s, and although I have retired my scrunchies, slap bracelets and leg warmers to the attic the 80s still live on in my heart, and on YouTube. Are you hungry like the wolf for a flash back to the days of Synthpop and punk rock, neon clothes and spiky hair? Here are 15 fun videos to take you back to the music, style, and culture of the 80s. Top 10 Cartoon Theme Songs From The 80s In the eighties I was a kid, so it's no surprise that one of my favorite parts of the decade were the cartoons. Here's a compilation of 10 great cartoon theme songs from the 80s, including Visionaries, Dinosaucers, and Jem (who's truly outrageous). E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - Original Trailer (1982) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial topped the box office charts in the 1980s, so no 80s flashback is complete without something E.T.-related. Here's the original movie trailer. Trailers sure have improved since the 80s, eh? Movie Trailer - 1988 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit If E.T. is a little tame for ya, remember Who Framed Roger Rabbit? MTV Promos From 1981 To 1985 The 80s also signaled the beginning of the MTV generation, who shouted "I want my MTV!" from the rooftops. The MTV bumpers and promos are one of the things that shout 80s for me the most. Check out this compilation of awesome classic MTV promos. MTV Classics: Memories of the 1980s (How We Talked) Groovy is out and radical is in. In the 80s we had a totally awesome way of talking, even when we were waaaaay gone. Did you get vertical in a tubular pipe in the 80s? 80's Atari commercial Playing PS3 and X-Box has made me forget how totally radical the Atari was. Man, why don't they have Space Invaders and Missile Command for Play Station? Early 1980s Video Arcade Games Remember how cool you thought arcade games were in the 80s? Check out this funny 'Wired In' documentary and you'll be shocked at the simple ways we used to be entertained. Jazzercise - Move your Boogie Body 1982 In the 80s nobody had even heard of yoga or pilates, no one was kickboxing or running or swimming. Workouts were all about aerobics and movin' that boogie body. Madonna - Like A Virgin And what 80s flashback is complete without a visit with Madonna - the quintessential 80s pop icon? Embedding has been disabled for this video but you can click to view it here. The Cure - Just Like Heaven The Cure also rose through the charts in the 1980s - sad one day, happy the next. Here's one of their biggest 80s hits - Just Like Heaven. 80's Music Compilation And here's a 10-minute compilation of 51 of the best songs of the 80s, including A-Ha, Alphaville, Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, David Bowie, Eurythmics, and more.

WTHR Yahtzee promo, 1988 Remember in the 1980s when someone thought it was a good idea to turn Yahtzee into a television game show? Yeah, that didn't last long. Jamaican Bobsled Team One of the most inspiring stories of the 1980s was that of the Jamaican national bobsled team, the underdogs who made their way to the Olympics in 1988 with almost no practice on a bobsled track. After crashing on one of their runs they continued on to compete, borrowing bobsleds from other teams. This story inspired the 1990s Disney movie Cool Runnings. Born in the 80s? How many of these do you remember? Finally, there's only so much 80s you can fit into 15 YouTube videos. This video goes through a variety of toys, television shows, movies, music, games, celebrities, candy and more. How much do you remember?
