My parody of "1985" by Bowling For Soup and SR-71. I cannot stress enough how horrible of a singer I am, but I think the lyrics and the story they tell turned out pretty good. Enjoy!

Lyrics
Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo
Grandma just took a fall
She can't move at all
Ten Advil a day
Keeps her pain at bay
Depression setting in
The talk starts to begin
"Can't take care of herself"
Freedom's put on the shelf
She was living independent
She was living on her own
She could watch The Price is Right
Happily and all alone
Her loving children, are now the enemy
Grandma looks at her life
And nothing has been alright since
Dick Nixon, Reza Shah
Way before Obama
There was Kruschev and Kennedy
And John 23 in Vatican City
Her nurses in the rest home
They tell her that she's senile
How she wishes she could go
Back to 19, 1960
Woohoohoo
(1960)
Woohoohoo
There goes her little house
There goes her pet dog
Recliner, Tempurpedic
Her sit-in shower too
All that is gone now
Time to seek solace
Say "Hello Oak Terrace"
Better get used to the smell of piss
She's from an era far and bygone
And why are kids constantly skateboarding on her lawn
"When did my family start to hate me"
Whatever happened to drive-ins, afros
And dropping LSD
Nixon, Reza Shah
Way before Obama
There was Kruschev and Kennedy
And John 23 in Vatican City
Her nurses in the rest home
They tell her that she's senile
How she wishes she could go
Back to 19, 1960
Woohoohoo
She hates her family
When did she stop being the big parent
And when did her kids become such huge jerks?
I hate those jerks
Jerks!
Go back to
Nixon, Reza Shah
Way before Obama
There was Kruschev and Kennedy
And John 23 in Vatican City
Her nurses in the rest home
They tell her that she's senile
How she wishes she could go
to 1960
Woohoohoo
Nixon, Reza Shah
Way before Obama
There was Kruschev and Kennedy
And John 23 in Vatican City
Her nurses in the rest home
They tell her that she's senile
How she wishes she could go
Back to 19, 1960
