This year is the 35th Anniversary of a song that I know quite well, but I never paid much attention to the Official Video until just recently. If you are looking for an explanation of the 119 historical references in the song, this is not the video for you.

I am more interested in the cultural references in the video of changing, mores, fashions, hair styles, decor, appliances and especially children's toys. Billy and I are from the same generation and watching this video was a nostalgic trip through my own childhood and teenage years in the 1950s and 60s.

Here is a link to the original video:
