  1. This is so great and conjures up many memories from the wonderful 90s. I'll never forget the Furby craze! Getting a radio station to play your favorite song was such a great feeling. Now all we need is YouTube. It's funny how things change. While we were in Nashville someone sang the theme song for Fresh Prince and I definitely still know every word...LOL!

  7. Love this! I was reading this list saying "yes, yes, yes!" Yesterday I did Cut-It-Out to someone and they didn't get it. It was tragic.
