My older sister and I used to sing this song together. I took the high notes and she got the lower, more sinister role. We used to sing this together while playing Conan on the old Mac.

1992 was also the year Snap! came out with Rhythm Is A Dancer and the world started to hate itself when Achy Breaky Heart made it to number one for weeks and weeks on end.

Stuff on the TV in 1992

The Gulf War continued in 1992, with more green night vision on the news. To make the world a scarier place, the Bosnian War started as well. In my 10 year old head, the world outside of my little one was full of war and death.

But it wasn’t all death and destruction in 1992. In South Africa a referendum on ending apartheid was held, with only white people being able to vote, and it was passed. 

Sinead O’Connor was in the news following her protest performance against the Catholic Church on Saturday Night Live when she ripped up a photo of the pope.

My life in 1992

I can’t think of anything much that happened in 1992 in my life. I spent it being 9 and then 10, singing with my sister, playing computer games, helping with the 3 year old twins, going to school and all the usual kid stuff.

I do remember watching the summer Olympics in 1992, the first Olympics I can remember being vaguely interested in. That’s about all really. The interest in Olympics hasn’t lasted, but I’d love to be able to play Conan again.
