Subject: Driving In The 80's (1 to go, Extra Lyrics)
Written By: Doc Brown on 03/16/05 at 3:22 pm
Ah, now I'm combining two of my favorite things: 80's music and driving! Each title contains a word linked to driving, and in one or two cases the name of a car. This one oughta be challening. Have fun, guys! No Limit
1. "Who's gonna plug their ears"
Indy - The Cars, "Drive"
2. "Will ya visit me please,"
maddog - Gary Numan, "Cars"
3. "I got all the maps with me."
wolf - Aretha Franklin, "Freeway Of Love"
4. "But honey, I ain't goin' for that!"
Indy - Bruce Springsteen(or Natalie Cole), "Pink Cadillac"
5. "and let's make a deal, make it real."
karen - Billy Ocean, "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car"
6. "Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits"
Niko - Pretenders, "Middle Of The Road"
7. "Well, there's too much traffic."
MooRocca - Sammy Hagar - "I Can't Drive 55" (Right on the money!)
8. "wonderin'if I had enough class"
Indy - Prince, "Little Red Corvette" (good guess!)
9. "Just let me in the driver's side, and we can take a ride" (1988-9)
10. "Summer's here, and the time is right"
Gis/jaytee - Mick Jagger & David Bowie, "Dancing In The Streets"
11. "He take the lightning from the sky."
Gis - John Fogerty, "The Old Man Down The Road"
12. "Being blown by the wind,"
Niko - U2, "Where The Streets Have No Name"
13. "and I have loved you wild."
Gaylon - Eagles, "Seven Bridges Road"
14. "Who is to blame in one country?"
nally - Eddy Grant, "Electric Avenue"
15. "But they'll make a fool of you"
Niko - Talking Heads, "Road To Nowhere"
Current Score: Indy - 3, Gis - 1 &1/2, maddog - 1, nally- 1, jaytee - 1/2, NIko - 3, MooRocca - 1, wolf - 1, karen - 1, Gaylon - 1.

Good work, guys. 10 to go, plus that half of #10 for Gis. I'll give you a hint: duet.
And Cat, "Electric Avenue" is up there, but it's not #7, so try again.
Good luck!
Your Pal,
Doc

Nice work everyone! If I could afford it I'd do the Oprah thing and buy everyone a car! ;)
OK, there's 3 left and no more limit, so I hope the clues help. Keep trying, and let's see where this road leads!

What happened? You guys run out of gas?
Come on, pit stop's over, lets see if Indy or Niko edge out the other for the finish.
I'll add the years, maybe that'll help. Good luck!
