Subject: Crazy Don's 1980's lyrics quiz!
The rules are simple. I'm gonna give you some lyric lines from 1980's songs. All you have to do is identify them by title and artist. As soon as I get a correct answer, it will appear underneath the lyric line in italics followed by the initials of the correct answerer. Here goes:
1. Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
The Vapors--Turning Japanese (DJM) (Would have accepted the band name "The Vapours" from any non-American poster)
2. They talk about the U. S. inflation
Wall of Voodoo--Mexican Radio (MI)
3. That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Beastie Boys--(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party) (TV9)
4. And a mess is not allowed
Madness--Our House (MI)
5. Woke up to reality and found the future not so bright
Johnny Hates Jazz--Shattered Dreams (DJM)
6. There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
Men at Work--Who Can It Be Now? (TV9)
7. It's interesting when people die
Don Henley--Dirty Laundry (DJM)
8. I walked through Bedford-Stuy alone
Billy Joel--You May Be Right (MI)
9. Animals strike curious poses
Prince--When Doves Cry (Jessica)
10. But like Mick Jagger said, "I can't get no satisfaction"
Tone Loc--Funky Cold Medina (80s Triv)
This quiz is now over. Thank you very much.
