Yep that mushroom hairstyle was my signature style especially after coming from the salon, it had so much movement and swing. But, by the end of the week it was stiff from the hair grease I used

I thought I was the only one who remembered it was Showbiz Pizza first! I was devastated when they changed the name for some odd reason (I was like 7 yrs old)...and mad they used the same song but changed the "Showbiz Pizza" part to "Chuckie Cheese's". GTFOOHWTBS for real!
