At our youth group Super Bowl party we had a totally 80's moment when a commercial using the "True Colors" song came on. Scott, Harmony and I were all singing along with it and the kids were looking at us like we were from another planet. They were like, "that's a real song?" and we said, "yeah, we're old." It was awesome.
