Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 05/05/04 at 3:08 pm
You guys know the drill! As I've said before, the number next to the lyric corresponds with how well that song did on the U.S. charts.ÂÂ
Limit: 7

All of these are correct, travolta! (Are you sure you didn't 'google' them?) ;)

Is 'googling' bad? I didn't...I actually knew these. The Adam Ant song is one of my favorites. The others my crazy cousins and siblings have forced me to listen to all my life. I thought a couple were a little obscure...I'd be surprised if a lot of people knew 35 and 38. ;)

IMO, 'googling' takes the fun out of playing the quiz. I do believe that you know these...I was just giving you a hard time. ;)

Just for future reference, and I don't want to rain on anyones parade, even though this quiz is finished, Adam Ant's "Wonderful" actually came out in '95. ;) But you guys probably already knew that. Like I said, I'm not trying to annoy anyone, I'm just a stickler for the facts. :)
