songburst 70s & 80s edition

another family game night favorite today ~

songburst, this is the 70s & 80s edition, there are others ~

half of toxic's brain is taken up by 70s song lyrics as she grew up with the stereo & 8 track tapes playing constantly at her house ~

play teams or play cutthroat, sing or just speak & try to remember the words to classic old songs ~

earn vinyl, gold & platinum albums with song lyrics & trivia questions ~

markers & albums ~

add up your albums once someone reaches the end of the gameboard & see who prevails ~

the cards ~

the songs ~

some easy & some obscure ~

70s & 80s ~

trivia ~

we have some home movie video of our family playing this game one xmas here ~

flashback friday favorite ~ wacky pack collector's album

there wouldn't have ever been garbage pail kids without wacky packs first ~

i keep a bunch in this collector's album so i can take them everywhere ~

hey it's tragedy ann & scumby! ~

toxic loved wacky packs ~

one fish two fish red fish dead fish & prez dispenser barfing up some brocolli ~

toxic bought wacky packs for a nickel each way back in the late 70s ~

count funkula & tv ghoul ~

like gpks topps are still making these.. this album has cards from all eras ~

much to parents' dismay & like every other kid, toxic picked a door at her house to stick all her wacky pack stickers on ~

where they were eventually painted over because They Never Come Off! ~

good old cigarettes, toxic smoked all these brands & more, yikes ~

hostile thinkies & afterlife cereal ~

gravestones vitamins & reaganettes ~
