I've been obsessed with eggshell blue (kind of a retro feel to it) with shades of orange and lime to accent it. Such a bright, happy color combo!

Congrats! Please use the contact form to send us your address and Fabricworm will send off your prize!

Oooh hard question. Can I call it a tie between "Come on, Eileen" and "Fight for Your Right"?

So many fun songs to pick from :)

I loved, and still love Cyndi Lauper and the Go-Gos, but the song that always makes me giggle is Lauper's "She Bop." Sometime in the 80s, when I was in elementary school, I stayed up late one night and came across Dr. Ruth interviewing Cyndi Lauper! After much poking and prodding, a suddenly shy Lauper admitted that the song was indeed about masturbation...*giggle*

Okay, it was released in '79, but "My Sharon" by The Knack. About 10 years ago I found an 8-track with this song on it (yes, my bright orange BMW 2002 from 1973 has an 8 track player!) and played it while laughing my head off until the tape died.

If you need a strictly 80s song, I guess I'd say 867-5309/Jenny. I wonder how many prank calls that one inspired... ;)

I think "I Confess", but that's because I recently heard it on the radio. At the time it could have been anything from the Clash or the Psychedelic Furs.

My 4 year old son's version of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA", which was followed the other day by non other than Jimmy Buffett's "Gypsies in the Palace". And if you had seen my 2 year old daughter's hair you would have thought you went back in time, all we needed was a DeLorean.
