Lyrics:
Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty four
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?
She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of Whitesnake's car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright since
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

This happens to everyone. My Dad was born in 1933 and his music was the big bands and swing of the 40s and 50s. He passed away in 2020 and that was still “his music.” Of course he listened to music of later eras, but everyone is always nostalgic and has a preference for the music of their youth, when life was still carefree.

Your comment sir wouldn't taint me. I was born in 90s and reminisce much of the music from 50s and 60s (from Holly to Beatles and Everyone that came in between). Even I find it hard to listen to 90s, 2000s commercial grunge blemish over the music scene and that rap pop boy bands coming out of the demand of radio business. So in all no, I would prefer Dylan, Gutherie, seeger, Hopkins, Dominos over any commercial 2000s artist ever.

As someone born in 1996, I spent the first ten years of my life listening to what my parents did between the early ‘70s and ‘80s. I first heard this song when it was released, once what was then contemporary music made its way into my life. I still have to say, 1985 was an incredible year for the music and film industries, and I can’t blame Debbie for still being preoccupied with that era.

[@debatememe4638]

The positive interpretation of this song is that Debbie grew up and has a pretty alright life, if she would take the time to enjoy it rather than wishing what could have been.
