Wendy Decided to Test Me

The other night we were at our friends' house playing cards and they had 80s music playing on their digital cable. They were having fun making me name the artist (without looking at the TV screen of course) each time a new song came on. In my vast geekiness, I was able to name all but two I think.

My friend
Wendy is now on a mission to stump me, which honestly shouldn't be too hard. Sometimes I'm on a roll -- and sometimes I'm not. But she posted an 80s music lyrics quiz on her blog and here's how I did. I scored a 98.5 -- which made me a --





Remembering lyrics was a little bit hard! I can name a song title, but even when I recognized the partial lyrics, sometimes it was a struggle to get the right tune in my head. I missed a few that after the fact I realized I should have known.

If you're a fan -- try it! I'll warn you -- it's long! But it's fun.

So here you go -- yet another post that proves I need to get a life! LOL

I may be back to post again later today -- if not, "see" you soon!

Actually, I counldnt even finsh the quiz! The Smithereens sang Elaine, and as I googled it, Abba came up too. Interesting. I love the 90's.

Holy crap Rita that is hard. My daughter sent it to me and I won't tell you what I got. Took off points for wrong spelling(Billie Jean) and other picky little things(can you tell I'm bitter hehe). Good for you scoring so good.

book update: almost finished with the 3rd one, least then a hundred pages to read, will finish sometime tonight. Looking forward to starting book 4, but I think I might be thinking like you. The first one was really good. The 2nd one & 3rd were ok, still a good read, but a bit winded, kwim. Ok, off to finish some more reading.

I could have guessed that you were a pop junkie....although junkie seems a little harsh...you're a girl of your time. I will have to give this a try when I have a little more time
