"1985" is a song by American rock band SR-71 from their third and final studio album Here We Go Again, released on May 21, 2004. It describes a middle-aged woman who longs for her past, dwells on her boring suburban lifestyle, and reflects on the massive changes that have occurred in pop culture and music since the 1980s.
Produced by the band's frontman Mitch Allan, who co-wrote it with their drummer John Allen, "1985" was not released as a single and went largely unnoticed; just two months after its release, Allan gave it to fellow pop punk band Bowling for Soup, who recorded a cover that reached No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was included on their fifth studio album A Hangover You Don't Deserve.
