About this song
"1985" is a cover of SR-71's song of the same name, with slight differences in the lyrics and instrumental. It was the first single from Bowling For Soup's 2004 album, A Hangover You Don't Deserve.
What it's about
The song follows a woman named Debbie going through a mid-life crisis as she compares the dreams she had when young with her current, boring, stereotypical life. She wishes she could be young again and back in the '80s, and the song is filled with references to '80s pop culture.
