Music Of The 80s: Lyric Quiz
 

Oh man, I usually don't post or forward things like these but this was just too damn good not to share...

Take the quiz (you'll probably sing half the songs out loud to get the answers) and post your score.

80s Lyrics Quiz

My score was 121.

lol score 36.....and I grew up with this crap.

dammit! 99 points. so many were right there but I couldn't think of that particular line.

Bleh

78.2

Well, I wasn't really paying attention to music in the 80's.
I did recognize almost everything once the answers came up though.

102 for me. http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s5.jpg

Should have been higher, but I got tripped up on a few verb tense issues.

The answers page is a good read, lots of commentary (I disagree with their opinions in several parts, but that's the fun of it!). One example: "Everybody misses this. Look up the lyrics to {removed} on the cheatsheet."

I think the author was a late-80s person, s/he seems to think that the early 80s songs should be more difficult.

well dammit i spelt 'billy' and 'jesse' wrong. so it gypped me like 2 points.

i only got 56.5
must've slept thru the 80's...

40.7. but I was only 3 when the 80's started.

I got 105 and should have got more, if they weren't counting for capitalization.

69.5

I feel so ashamed. I was smacking my head afeter I read some of the answers. I knew the songs, I just couldn't think of the answers at the time.

I resisted the urge not to cheat. I have most of those songs on my hard drive. It would have been very easy to just pull up "80's list.m3u"

So was I. Bad excuse! :p

aw man!
i only got 78.6
i was born in the ´80s so its really no excuse.
i totally freaked when i saw some of those answers.
thanks quadro - great game.

57 for me. Just couldn't get the beat going in my head for them.

They weren't counting for capitalization, but they do count for spelling, verb tense, and singular/plural nouns.

67.5, but i was in a hurry

69.5 - I should have known more. Definitely will help me search out 80's songs I've missed downloading though :) :p

150.5

*bows down to ShaniFaye*

I got Schoolhouse Rock but not Elvira.

Ha, I got the 1976 question! Neener neener!!

and now Im dizzy with all those songs running thru my head!! ha ha ha Kudos to the schoolhouse rock song...I wonder how many people outside the US will get that one....

I was born in '81.... scored 33.

81.5 :)

i got the schoolhouse rock one. I was born in '75, and i'm sure i would've scored higher had i not been late for work

I got the "Hotel California" one, the "School House Rock" one, but not the "Elvira" one. Oh, I got 90 and I was born in 1978.

59.5

I should have done better than that.

I was born like halfway through the 80's and I got a 45.5.

I got a 66. I was born in '82 and didn't really listen to pop music till the 90's. And a lot of those songs I never hear on 80s music stations, they usually just loop the most popular ones. But needless to say I was saddened by my performance.

23.7...I was born in the 80s but I thought I knew the songs a little better than that. Oh well, I'll probably do well on a 90s one...

I got a 24
I was born in 1979 and I like '80s music. This is pathetic.

I got a 47, but I was born in 1985.

So did I, and I was born in '84 :p

54.5

122.5 - Did most of my partying in the 80's

108.5. I really only remember part of the 80's, but I love that music.

I got a disappointing 95.5. Some of them I smacked my forehead afterwards, and should have gotten. Argh.

holy shit.. i only got 43.5 and i grew up in the 80's.. but i did feel dumb after i saw the answers.. i knew most of them

i got the worst


16


my only excuse is that i was born in 83 and my parents didnt listen to musis, which sucked hard cause i missed out on all the great bands... ahh well shit happens

I only got a 93.5...I am disappointed in myself for that performance.

47!!!

and I was born in 81 -- i missed a few that i really really should have gotten.

44 Born in 1985, I can't spell =\

128. With two exceptions, if I didn't get it, I had never heard it. (Elvira and a U2 question I am still smarting about.)

I got a 52.3. I was born in '85, but my brother was 11 years older than me, so I knew most of the hair metal stuff.
