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.

Final Score: 108.5 - Just got you there Gideon

I was born in 1979 but I have been in love with music for what seems like forever.

I cant believe I got the Violent Femmes and Beastie Boys songs wrong! Simple spelling/pluralising mistakes. Most other mistakes were just silly mistakes and lapses of concentration, but what ticked me off is that you got no points for partly correct answers. There were a heap of questions where I knew 1 or 2 of the words out of a multi-answer question. But I'm quiely impressed with my score... I'll shutup now

Texas Wahine -

My score was a crappy 51.... I was robbed!

Aww, that's not too crappy... OK, maybe it is... But, it's still fun to remember all those songs! Right?

Theophilus Thistler -

Theo,

technically, no you didn't...remember, I lost 15 points for screwing up and not putting when I was born...a technicality if ever there was one.

I'm still the king.

I think I only couldn't recognize one song.."Believe it or not I'm walking on"...

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

However, short phrases and harsh spelling negatives

Yeah, I got dinged on a couple. I did get the full ten points for knowing and spelling 'colitas' correctly!

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

Nope--walking on air...(Greatest American Hero Theme Song).

Katrina's song didn't contain the words "believe it or not".

Oops, and that would be two times that I got that wrong! Thanks for the save, Gideon!

"Poor Old ______ ___"

Johnny Ray? I honestly don't know the answer, but some careful googling came up with that. I still don't remember it, though.

I've been looking for this quiz for months now, though Google. Silly me, not to have checked other bloggers top articles. I got 84.
