		<description><![CDATA[The first controversy of these games was a geographical one, Mexico City is 2640 metres above sea level, that is almost 11/2 miles. This meant there would be around 30% less oxygen making endurance events more difficult for most athletes, except those who lived at similar altitudes, such as some of the Africans.

		<description><![CDATA[My first and lasting memory of Tokyo was the BBC theme tune which I can hum to this day, how sad is that. These games were very eventful for British athletes and the story of Ann Packer is first in my mind. After losing out in the 400 meters to the Australian Betty Cuthbert (Packer [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Tokyo Olympics 1964", url: "http://www.popular-nostalgia.com/tokyo-olympics-1964-325/" });</script>]]></description>

Captain Bucky O&#8217;Hare was the early 90&#8217;s cartoon character who graced our screens with an intergalactic battle against space toads. Remember the psychic cat &#8220;Jenny&#8221; who could read minds through the purple jewel on her head or the mad eye duck who could shoot with four arms at a time.

He shook me awake and said, &#8220;I just thought you would like to know that Bob Beaman has leapt over the sandpit&#8221;. It was amazing - the world record has since stood for twenty three years. It was such a long jump that [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Bob Beamon - Bygone Olympics", url: "http://www.popular-nostalgia.com/bob-beamon-bygone-olympics-323/" });</script>]]></description>

I actually got a &#8220;Dance Tip &#8216;95&#8243; cd for christmas one year (1995 would seem logical). Cotton Eye Joe was one of the tracks on that very Dance Tip &#8216;95 CD.

		<description><![CDATA[Vanilla Ice in hindsight seems laughably unfashionable, but I&#8217;m reasonably certain that at the time Ice Ice Baby came out and took the world by storm, the old V dog was pretty cool.
The baseline was stolen (out of court settlement apparently) from Queen&#8217;s &#8220;Under Pressure&#8221;, and apparently it might be questionable whether, er, Ice himself [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby", url: "http://www.popular-nostalgia.com/vanilla-ice-ice-ice-baby-321/" });</script>]]></description>

He&#8217;s not one for sympathy though, old Doctor Dream, so don&#8217;t mess with him.

Even the mums and dads liked Barbie Girl. Dads particularly enjoyed the video on [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Aqua - Barbie Girl", url: "http://www.popular-nostalgia.com/aqua-barbie-girl-319/" });</script>]]></description>

A very good vintage musically, for this was the year the world woke up and realised they had ears: every single piece of recorded or live music they had heard up until the point The Cartoons released Witch Doctor would soon be akin to white noise.
