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. |

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.
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.

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"

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.

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.

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.)
