Take me back to September 12th, 1994!

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is September 12th, 1994, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. In the United States, Labor Day of 1994 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song I'll Make Love To You by Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Forrest Gump is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Meanwhile, in technology news, a relatively new storage format called the CD is beginning to outpace the regular cassette tape in music sales. The disc-based format gives listeners the ability to skip between songs instead of having to manually rewind and forward. A new form of communication called "text messaging" is starting to become more widespread. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network. Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems.

In fashion, "grunge" clothing has fallen out of favor, and women are beginning to wear form-fitting outfits such as slip dresses and pencil skirts. Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy schoolgirl" look. It's 1994, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of All-4-One, Boyz II Men, R. Kelly, Céline Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi, Wet Wet Wet, Rednex and Mariah Carey. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A catchy song called "Saturday Night" has been released by Danish eurodance artist Whigfield. The song is receiving constant airplay on radio stations. In music news, Aerosmith's "Cryin" has recently won Video of the Year at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards. In the United States, 132 people have tragically lost their lives after USAir Flight 427 crashed during its approach towards a runway in Pittsburgh.

On television, a new animated children's show called "The Magic School Bus" has recently been aired for the first time. Tributes are pouring in for English-American actress Jessica Tandy, who has passed away at the age of 85. Tandy had recently starred in movies such as Driving Miss Daisy (1989) and Fried Green Tomatoes (1991). In what can only be described as a bizarre event, a man called Frank Eugene Corder has died after crashing his stolen two-seater airplane onto the South Lawn of the White House.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Raul Julia, Richey Edwards, Eazy E, and Selena would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Murder, She Wrote", "Matlock", "Family Matters", and "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "NBA Jam", "Tetris 2", "Mario's Time Machine", and "Sonic the Hedgehog 3".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Thomas the Tank Engine", "Full House", "Art Attack", and "Sister, Sister". Popular toys at the moment include Cabbage Patch Kids, Yo-yo, Pogs / Milkcaps, and the Talkboy.
