80s Trivia of the Week
The rules for this one couldn't be simpler - I give you the memorable first line of the 80s pop hit - you give me the name of the tune.
1. "I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face, pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case."
2. "Dig, if you will, a picture of you and I engaged in a kiss."
3. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you."
4. "Broken glass everywhere, people pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care."
5. "He's laughing with another girl and playing with another heart."
6. "There was a guy got killed by 10,000 lbs. of sludge from New York and New Jersey."
7. "Now the king told the boogie men you have to let that raga drop."
8. "Welcome to your life, there no turning back; even while we sleep, we will find you."
9. "You put the boom-boom into my heart, you send my soul sky high when the lovin' starts."
10. "And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack; and you may find yourself living in another part of the world."
11. "I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure."
12. "So much for your promises, they died the day you let me go."
Best of luck, folks!

Did you sing them? And, if so, did the family kick you out of the house?

7. Rock the Casbah
Yes, indeed. As they say, "Shareef don't like it," and what they mean is, "Shut that bazouki up, Dave!"
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the two tossers in the photo above (or the multiple belt look that Roland Orzabal is sporting!). Total giveaway!
I didn't know we had to mention
TEARS FOR FEARS
Which tune is it then?
#8 Everybody Wants to Rule the World
I was in the mood to listen to some of these.
I tried to listen to Prince and do you know that PLONKER has muted all of his videos on the net!!!
Even cover versions!!
Right you are on The Tears for Fears. It is a pretty dark lyric for a seemingly lightweight pop song, isn't it?
And right you are on the Prince muting issue. The artist formerly known as is a strange duck alright.
#4 "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash
#5 "Smooth Operator" by Sade
#6 "Monkey Gone to Heaven" by the Pixies
