Time Warped.


There's about 28 +/- days of summer left depending on what part of the globe you're located. And at this juncture, most parents are off partaking in school shopping or if you're the early bird parent, well you've finished all your school shopping. If you've been watching closely and checking out the advertisements for school you may have noticed a little something extra...Target.

Target, has decided to take us back and in such a clever way. I'm calling it a "time warp". Have you experienced it? Target is advertising back to school products using songs from the 80's! Seriously folks, who doesn't love the 80's? What better way to lure a parent in by playing music that takes us back to good times when all was fluffy and we had no worries. What's even better is the characters (teachers) singing the songs remind us of ourselves (or maybe someone you know). I'd say Target is brilliant.

 Here's my favorite below uses the song "Word Up", by Cameo, 1986...fabulously recycled by Target.
