So many memories come back from 1996, I had just turned 21 when this song came out, i married not very long before, I'd just graduated from university and got my first job, and my daughter was born that august. Britpop was ruling the UK charts, it was a long hot summer, and this song was being played heavily on the radio, and on MTV and VH1. Was the happiest I've ever been. Now as I look back at age 35, I realise how true the song's lyrics really are; "life is much more simple when you're young"
I read on Wikipedia that this was filmed in a water park in South Florida.
I have lived there for the past quarter century and was wondering where it was filmed at specifically. There used to be an old one in Hollywood FL right by I-95 in between MIA and Ft. Lauderdale but they do have water parks elsewhere.
das waren zeiten,aber ich schaue gerade scrubs und da war ein lied von erasure.ich ging in die 80ziger zurück.ich könnte weinen.das waren die geilsten zeiten die 80ziger.
this is a great song to listen to when you feel down and it makes you think on things and accept things the way they are and make the best of it. there's always that silver lining!!
