๐ŸŽถ1985 By Bo Burnham

Lyrics:

He's a really cool guy
He's got a cool shirt
He's got cool shoes
Did I mention the shirt?
If you ever got the chance to meet him
You'd know why I want to be him
He walks into a room
And everyone respects him (everyone respects him)
He reads the news
And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him)
He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
His name is any white guy in 1985
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
He's got a job and a family
How does he do it?
Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking
He's got all the answers that I wanna know
How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago, gee-whiz?
He got it, and he flaunts
I am the thing he is
But he isn't when I walk
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
And some people are white guys in 1985
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
Wait
It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985
Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis
Some white guys were Italian
And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now
I've misspoke
I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive
I think I just meant my dad in 1985
My dad, 1985 (my dad)
My father, 1985 (papa)
My dad, 1985
Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott)
I wanna be my dad (Scott)
I wanna be my dad in the '80s (Scott)
My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott)
My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor)
My father was happier than I am
If I could be anybody dead or alive
I would wanna be my dad in 1985

I used to only like the part where he sings "If I could be anybody, dead or alive. I would want to be my dad in 1985." But now I love the entire song and I can't stop listening to it ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

"He walks into a room and everyone respects him, he reads the news and doesn't let that shit affect him, he's very happy, he's thrilled to be alive". Bo's a damn genius.

my dad was born in 1971 so he would have been my age exactly which is 14 and my dad was reckless and his childhood was so entertaining from what he tells me so i relate to this song very well

The way he says " 1985 " at the end is literally the best

this song is my dadโ€™s favourite, he got into bo because of me sending him this song. he wouldโ€™ve been 10 in 1985 so i always switch the lyrics up to 1995, when he was 20 and nerding out in pharmacy school. he told me many stories about his time as a college student, he really was going against our pretty religious family and studied science. i have to admit, he really is the coolest mf in my life and i love him so much, he got me into all the nerdy geeky shows and comics that now i am so engulfed in. i am moving out of town for uni, and whenever i listen to this song i remember him, and i cry, i am so excited to start my life as an adult but i already miss him so much. love you dad:)

my dad was the same age i am right now, back in 1985(19 turning 20) and he always told me many stories of his awesome cool adventures as a young adult in the 80โ€™s who lived life to the fullest despite of being disabled (mans was even a DJ in the early 90โ€™s!) iโ€™m turning 20 in 2024, healing from the loss of my dad and i have no social life๐Ÿ’€ but i only hope to be as happy and lively as he was back in the 80โ€™s/early 90โ€™s๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผโ€ฆ
