This was the first visual that truly terrified me. The 'GET AWAY!!" still gets to me. I was 4 when the short film debuted. Too young? Perhaps, but our house wasn't Immune to Thriller fever. We had the album, the fake jacket and glove, etc. We were all caught up. What a time ❤️🖤...80s4ever

Happy Birthday to the great Tracey Ullman!

As great of an actress she is, I wish she'd made more music over the years. Her two album in the 1980s contained a lot of very entertaining music...like this song:

Breakaway (1983)

My mistake! Sorry about that, @spexaddict.com! There are so many great challenges here that it's hard to remember them all! 😀🎶

Not sure if I'll use #That80sChgallenge for all 80s songs I post. I'll give it some more thought! Might go with #80s4Ever instead. We'll see...😁

Have a great weekend!
