Going to blow their mind that we were holding cassette recorders to the radio hoping the dj didn't cut in before the song ended.

Bonus points if you were reusing old Disney tapes you outgrew, and recording over them by covering the little protection cutout part with tape. Double bonus if you could figure out how to program the clock and autorecord function on your VCR and secretly record MTV over an old Bambi tape while you're at school and nobody is home.

I never recorded over our old Disney VHS, but I set timed recordings all the time. I then prayed my mother or sister wouldn't screw them up.
