| Deleted User | Man, I only knew a few of the answers, and that selection corresponded pretty well to the GTA: Vice City soundtrack.

I got a 53.5 - no cheating. That's OK, thought I recognized a lot more when I read them afterwards...

Gosh, should have paid attention to the words of songs.
I only dance to the music, could care less what they are saying. Half the time most people are only guessing what the words are because they're inaudible.
Myst IV - Never finished it. Got frustrated with it.&&Myst V - Did not finish it either. Very disappointing.&&ATTWN - BORING!!! Never finished it. Kept falling asleep.&&Paradise - So far .... not so good&&Voyage - Not on my favorite list

Glad you liked it. Addictive, isn't it?
I won't even tell you my score... To low... The funny thing is, I like 80's music and knew the majority of the songs... The spelling tripped me! :
Do go on! I always yawn, when I'm fascinated!

Missed a few answers for misspelling (especially for hotel california).
It's funny that it recognizes some of your mistakes. I wrote 'feel it in the night' instead of 'hear it in the night' and it called me a pervert .

Just me and my comment-everything-craziness...
This is full of nasty traps...Billy Jean...Jesse's girl...I fell for all of them.
And I wrote "talk this way, walk this way"...am I stupid??
#18 Well, I had Devo and not Salt'n'Pepa, but it didn't matter.
#19 I listened to Africa a thousand times or something and still, I missed it! Argh. I had that one in my head immediately after reading it.
#23 I totally guessed this and only afterwards it dawned on me that this is from Closer.
:
#27 Time after time...duh!
#30 Don't stand so close to me? Listened to this many times, but I never pay attention to lyrics when it comes to simple radio songs.
#31 You shook me all night long! I don't even know the lyrics, I only guessed this and it made perfect sense...
#33 Three points for this? That's one of the easiest if you ask me
#37 could slap myself for missing Foreigner...
#39 and that one...
#40 I had "after midnight", damn
#42 just guessing
#44 don't know the song, but I guessed "empty streets"...so close!
#46 It Must Have Been Love by Roxette... *slap*
#47 and, of course, there must be Tainted Love in here somewhere, I'm so stupid! arf!
#50 that one was mean
#55 apparently everyone missed this, but I ask myself why I did...
#60 no, I was NOT born after 1985, but I missed this, anyway
#62 I just guessed this one, it wasn't that hard
#64 gah, Cheap Trick! I had "storm" and "sun", because that would actually make a bit of sense, don't you think?
#67 when I read this line I somehow thought it might be "Hit me with your best shot", but I didn't really convince myself of that and I would never know the word that is really missing here...
#68 I missed Venus...how could that happen? I NEVER pay attention to lyrics!
#69 I had "your smile"
#70 and I missed Physical
#72 what is that...Simply the Best? haha
#75 the "I just might" reminded me of Hall&Oate's Family Man, you know "my bark is much worse than my bite" and "if you push me too far I just might"
#77 I had "lonely heart", but I didn't know where that came from, anyway
#80 Smooth Operator, of course...I had "dancer", hehe...back as a kid I always understood "sooner or later", hehehe
#81 well, I didn't have "feel", but "see", and still it was the same comment that Shany had
#82 I guessed this and it was obvious, I believe
#83 can't forgive myself missing this! *slap* ouch! *slap*I love this song!
#88 somehow I had "love" for the first blank, apparently reading past the "at" AND the whole context...never would have guessed it's from Purple Rain
#90 that guy must be a U2 fan...I just guessed "love" and - lo and behold! - it was a hit
#91 I had "arms", but first I thought "eyes", which seemed to make less sense...well...
#94 oh, now that makes sense, alright - I had "knife"
My score: 42.95
Well, I'm a 90's child.

I couldnt believe it, I looked at some of the lyrics and just couldnt put ithem together until I started reading the answeres, then I was like "duh" how did I not get that? : ( I did get a few wrong for spelling ) but no excuse for such a terrible score for someone who was pretty much into music back then. :-[ I feel like an old coot!
I Still had fun taking it though.

There are a few short ones here:

They're VERY easy though and not as long as the 80s quiz you posted.

Damn! I sucked at that site, too! Where's the quizzes for very tired moms doing quizzes while watching Stargate reruns? I'd rock at those!

Ah...
Fun! Fun! Fun!
Love those kind of things. Got A+ on everything exept 'members'.
I'm so proud of myself!
BTW, when I did the 80's quiz over again, I scored 65 (didn't read the answers last time, so it may be considered as a fair game)

Excellent score! [smiley=bowdown.gif]
Though they were easier, I still mostly missed one or two for each quiz. Still, a quiz like these made me feel better after my abyssmal result with the 80s quiz.
