# 13 is a song about Galatasary football hooligans .... ::)
Ah, Fuss, spoken like a true Leeds fan.....BTW, interetsed in managing a football team, Bobo ? There's a job opening in Yorkshire for you...
FB ;D
Subject: Re: An FB 80's lyrics quiz
I've got thirteen already, it's #1 I need. Galatasaray was the first thing that crossed my mind too.

Ackkk ! Outrageous ! All your points for every quiz (ever !) minused away !

Not as joking as the suggestion that Terry Venables should get the job.... ::)
Subject: Re: An FB 80's lyrics quiz
How can a Manchester United fan want to manipulate any result in Leeds' favour? I'm all for them playing football, and good football at that, but I just would rather Man U were in a better chance of winning. Good luck for the upcoming season, though, seriously, I think the Leeds kids are in with a chance.

Br crikey, you are impatient today Bobo !
I only posted the quiz just over a couple of hours ago !
Okay, because you asked :
I could not sing this song to you Bobo, the wording of the title means that it would be technically incorrect...
(Well you didn't think I was going to give you an easy hint to start with do you ?)
Subject: Re: An FB 80's lyrics quiz
Aha, it's Foreigner (again, I should have known) and "Waiting For A Girl Like You"

Hey that's right, didn't you say you knew them all ?
Remind me make your hints more obscure (although I'm not sure I could have...) next time !
Correct and to close the quiz as well

Subject: Re: An FB 80's lyrics quiz
What I meant was that the lyrics themselves all rung bells in my head. I have had to go and research a few hundred albums, and verification. Often lyrics do that, they have that thing where you know what the songs are, but you can't remember the names or the titles.
As for the hints, so long as I need them, it doesn't matter.
