  • 80's Lyric Quiz

    Ok, fellow old farts! See how you do.

    Age and wisdom don't necessarily go together. Some people just become stupid with more authority.

    I got 105.5, and that includes a couple I didn't get points for because of typos (doh!). So, is that good? It doesn't have a ranking system. All I know is, I'm old!

      Your generation stuck mine with a motherload of cultural horrors (bradys! disco! plaid! roller skating!). -30% for being a yuppie.
      5 point bonus for telling me where you saw this. Thanks!

      Final Score: 84.45
      Um, okay. It said name the earliest event I was born before and I picked Woodstock (happened in 1969, I was born in 1968), so I'm blamed for the Disco Era?! Sheesh!

          Me neither. Seems as if I was stuck in either a 60's or 70's time warp during the 80's.

          Had that been a quiz on Motown, I probably would have aced it.

          My score: 19

              60.5 though I would've had higher if I didn't mistype a couple.

              I was born in 1981 so it's expected I'd miss a few.

              Got the Ghostbusters one though

                  A lot of the songs I knew, just not the lyrics that went with them. I got like a 40 ; ;. show's what being born in 1980 does to a person...give me a 90s music test and I should prevail. Also, did NIN come around 89? I could of sworn they showed up in the early 90s (like 91 or 90)

                    Never fear, Puck! I'm a huge 80's nerd. I think I missed one or two of the questions . . . but I was born in 1979!!

                        I got a score of 23.5. Pitiful.

                          70.5 here, not bad considering that I wasn't even born until 1982, and lost a few points to stupid stuff like microwave oven instead of oven's and I can't spell Billy Jean(I think thats still wrong)
                          The only words you said that I understood were "His", "Phone" and "Ya'll". The other 2 paragraphs worth was about as intelligible as a drunken Teletubby barkin' come on's at a Hooter's waitress.

                            Don't feel bad, Rick Springfield obviously couldn't spell "Jesse" correctly, either. (The song is "Jessie's Girl", which is using the FEMININE spelling of the name for a guy!)
