The 80s Lyric Quiz...

[Turing Complete]

I got 83, but I'm unhappy with the scoring. Billie Jean, Jessie's girl? Had them but lost on the spelling. I was close on a lot of others too without being right on.

BTW, what song is the lyric, "Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand" from?

I see what you did, there.

Jesse. I want that point.

This was fun.

Yeah, I misspelled Jesse too!

It gave me a score of 123, but by my count I earned only 103.

I missed 32, but got 2/3 bonus questions correct. Many questions I got the two blanks reversed, or correctly guessed one of two.

Notables: 10 pts for #83!* 5 pts for #19, 4 pts for #44, 55, 86. A couple threesies and a whole lot of twosies.

*Not even an 80s song!

There are a few that aren't really "eighties" songs, as they were simply remakes of older ones. And I missed "Jessie" as well (and "billie", and for that matter a few others due to actual misspellings).

"California Girls" and "Venus" were remakes, yes, but done by 80s bands*. No one's remade a popular version of "Hotel California" yet.


*Yes, I consider DLR a one-man band. His ego is larger than the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
