My dad was 25 when I was born. Back in the 80s. He’d stand on the table and sing this to me as a toddler. He said he wanted his baby girl to be proud of him someday. He died last week. RIP dad. Thank you for loving me

@dmcrun3572 4 жыл бұрын
TLKoerber Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

This is a damned good side, and, incredible as it seems to people half my age this was a pretty good video in 1986 when I first saw and heard it on a visit to the USA. I don't know why I've ignored Timbuk 3 for over twenty years, must investigate their other stuff. Still curious about 'new' music in in my 70s - though 'new' doesn't necessarily mean 'this year' - there are a hundred years of recordings to root through.

Well that's technically what they're going for in this video too. The future's so bright because a bunch of nukes went off.

Today, I randomly remembered my dad singing this around the house when I was a kid, and after humming the lyrics myself for a bit I realised I've never actually heard the song played before. Not dissapointed that I looked it up.

Speaking of nukes, Back in 1982 when I was a freshman my English teacher told us we might all die from a nuclear missle attack from Russia. We both had enough bombs then to destroy the world several times over.

Most people don't realize this, but that song was actually written about nuclear weapons and the threat of nuclear war. I was in high school when this song came out, and in the 80s, we were in the middle of the "cold war" with the Soviet Union, so world destruction was on everyone's mind at the time. The lyrics, "the future's so bright...", refer to the bright light that eminates from a nuclear blast.
