So, I’ve never participated in the Throwback Thursday –
but my dad brought some little gems from the past, so I figured it was a good
time.
Really?! Do you guys remember putting your fingers in
the holes and turning to get the film strip things back in its place? Or continuously “stop, rewind, play” so you
could hear your favorite part of the song over and over…and over? Takes me back!
And can we talk about the crazy taste in music that I
had?
Just
a few of the tapes I found:
Billy
Ray Cyrus – Achy Breaky Heart
Disney
Soundtracks – Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King (I can still
totally break out every word on these songs too!)
Dirty
Dancing Soundtrack (white cassette tape pictured above)
Wilson
Phillips – who doesn't love “Hold On”?!
Jock
Jams – holllerrrrr!
CD
pictured is Wyclef Jean
Did you have a cassette collection? Do you still have
it?
What’s the funniest/craziest one you owned?
Ahhh my parents totally still have my cassettes....Alanis Morrissette, Spice Girls, Amy Grant.... and of course all the ones I recorded off Q94 LOL! I'd sit there for hours waiting for a song to come on, and then I'd pray that I hit record in time to get the beginning, and I'd get so mad when the DJ would start talking before the song was completely over hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThere are a ton of "Erin's Mix Tape" cassettes in that case! I'm going ot have to search for somewhere to play them :)
Deletei may have my vanilla ice tape still. I know I still have the cassette of Hanson. :D
ReplyDeleteNo shame! I had the Hanson CD :)
DeleteHi Erin! I just stumbled upon your blog (and am a new follower!) I had to laugh at your throwback Thursday post - I think I had all those same tapes! It's a shame our kids won't know the fun of cassettes!
ReplyDeleteI know! Who knows what will be in then! They'll see the cassettes and think we are so old :)
DeleteI do! But I don't miss the tapes all strewn about the country - people held them out of the car windows to see how far the tape would go I think.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's crazy!
DeleteOh yes, I had a great one too. Loved Hole and Meatloaf back then!!
ReplyDeleteoohh! I forgot about Meatloaf - haha!
