I Love the 80's

How about you?

Published on August 22, 2004 By chiprj In Music

I love 80's music (It helps that I was born in 70's). I just took an 80's music lyrics quiz over at yetanotherdot.com Link. I scored a 93. Take the quiz and let me know how you did.

I got a 34.

I can recall some of the songs but not the lyrics.

I got 70, and almost entered a time warp, Stephen Hawking be damned.

Aauugghh!!!!

I got a 60.5, with 5 points for the referring site, and a 20 point MOM BONUS!!!

OMG! I am still not a mom! I'm not even 30 yet! I will admit, though, that I didn't listen to as much pop music during the 80's--I was a headbanger all the way. Most of the points I actually earned on that quiz were thanks to Bon Jovi, G-N-R, Poison, etc.

Lots of fun anyway....

I had some songs where I could actually sing a chunk of the verse or chorus but my brain would fart out the missing words. I had to turn my tv down in order to get a few.

'Let's do the time warp again!' OK, Rocky Horror wasn't an 80's film, but it was insanely popular during the 80's.

I actually missed the Whitesnake one. I was really pissed when I got to the answers and saw what the answer was!

Thanks to everyone for stopping by!

Whoa, 93?!!!!!! You've got to be kidding me... I've tried to take the quiz a while back and it was one of the hardest quizzes that I ever had to take. You rock!!!

Well, I grew up in the 80's (I turned 10 in 1980 and graduated HS in 89), so I have that as an advantage. Well, that and a brain cursed with a strong memory of useless trivia and song lyrics...

I got a 43.9 and a big shoe like the one above that says " Dont Push Me". I am absolutely OK with my score. In fact, I am very proud of myself considering I got that many and was born in the 80's. Well, barely, '81.

Who are you kidding Chip?
That F%^&*king quiz was too long and the phrases to short.
When I got to material Girl I said to myself, "Chip is out of his mind."
I did the first 20 with fair success but I'm lazy.

That's all part of the challenge! It takes a 'special' kind of person to complete that quiz... Don't know if 'special' is necessarily a good thing, though...

To quote the NIN song referenced on there: "Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve".

But seriously, I'm just kicking my ass for the ones I missed.

OK, it didn't list my score, which was 105!

You're lookin' at the king of the 80's, baby!

Wow, very nice! What score did you get?

But seriously, I'm just kicking my ass for the ones I missed.

I was feeling the same way! I should have known some of the ones I missed!!!

I got 86.3 -- Question -- Who is the Church Lady??? -- I know I was born before the monica lewinsky thing and after Woodstock -- I have a feeling I was born in between Just Say No and the Church Lady -- but I don't know who the Church Lady IS -- I was born in 1983

Who is the Church Lady???

Dana Carvey from Saturday Night Live. He played the character for a couple of seasons, I think. Coined the phrases, 'Well, isn't that special?' and 'Hmmm, I don't know, could it have been.....Satan?!?!' The second is more of a paraphrase than a quote. The lead in would change from time to time, but the answer was usually.........Satan?
