I couldn't resist.
More from one of the greatest movies of 1987, The Chipmunk Adventure--The Best of Miss Miller:

Possibly the Greatest Movie of 1987.
A lot of great movies were released in 1987: Ernest Goes to Camp, The Brave Little Toaster, Benji the Hunted, TEEN WOLF TOO (Hello, people!). That's quite a list, but I think there's a film that is usually completely overlooked that is actually the greatest film of that year. Yes, that's right--the greatest movie of 1987 was obviously The Chipmunk Adventure. Don't believe me? Just watch this clip and tell me I'm wrong:
I loved this song so much that when this movie played on tv in the 90s, I held my tape recorder's mic up to the tv speaker to record it onto a tape and have it to KEEP FOREVER (and also to play it over and over and memorize the words so I could act out this scene accurately). You can experience this amazing movie in 6 parts on YouTube. You know you want to.
P.S. Okay, okay--FINE. We can go ahead and three-way tie The Chipmunk Adventure with The Princess Bride and Adventures in Babysitting for The Greatest Movie of 1987. That seems pretty reasonable...

80s Nostalgia Cont'd
Okay, so I seem to remember maybe I DID actually have that updo Barbie featured in the preceding post...something about the hair clip seems...familiar. But then again, how do I know that it didn't belong to one of my friends? Come ON, people, it was 20 YEARS ago--I can't have a perfect memory that far back! Anyway, don't be jealous, but I actually did have THIS amazing Barbie back in the 80s:
I cannot express how awe-inspiring that Barbie was, people. Glow-in-the-dark STARS with a matching PARASOL. I think that says it all.

80s Nostalgia
So, I'd just like my parents to know that I really, really, REALLY wanted this Barbie back in the 80s. Thanks for CRUSHING MY DREAMS, Mom and Dad. Look how AWESOME I'd probably be at updos today, if ONLY you'd given me the chance...
