View Full Version : Name That 80s Hit Tune
The Goonies R Good enough - Cyndi Lauper
You found someone else you had every reason
You know i can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin
Hard Habit to Break Chicago
We rock at dawn on the front line
Like a bolt right out of the blue
The sky’s alight with the guitar bite
Heads will roll and rock tonight
AC-DC - For Those About To Rock
My zippers bust, my buckles break.
I'm too much man for you to take.
The pavement cracks when I fall down.
I've got more chins than Chinatown.
Fat - Weird Al Yankovic
I went to bed too late
And got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin'
From too much booze
Roemello 1-03-04, 04:23 PM Look What the Cat Dragged In - Poison
My heart is old it holds my memories
My baby burns a gem like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again
OOh OOhh I know!! Gotta wait for tomorrow... DAMN!
Minor correction, though... it's "my BODY burns a gemlike flame"
Great song.. I'll be singing it all night! :thumb:

In that case, I won't answer and leave it for you :sneaky:
Here are another set of lyrics:
Er war ein Punker
Und er lebte in der großen Stadt
Es war Wien, war Vienna
Wo er alles tat
Er hatte Schulden denn er trank
Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen

Oh man! You didn't have to leave it for me! I bet everyone has been dying to guess it, too! Oh well.. thanks! ;) The song Roem posted is "Kyrie" by Mr. Mister AWESOME SONG!
And the song YOU posted is "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco.. (NOT so very subtle hint there with the pic! LOL)
Here's one for the next person:
also an easy one :thumb:
I feel so unsure,
As i take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies...
Something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen,
And all its sad goodbyes.
Johnny Z 1-04-04, 08:44 PM Careless Whispers - Wham!
You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon,
And that you miss me sometimes, when you’re alone in your room.
Do I feel lonely too?
Roemello 1-04-04, 11:22 PM it's "my BODY burns a gemlike flame"
:lol: My bad... I have shitloads of 80s lyrics on file (mainly music from my collection)... I just pick one and copy & paste for this game... guess I should correct that file :p
Anywho.... Separate Lives - Phil Collins
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
IS there Something I should Know - Duran Duran
(Another Great song!)
You say our love
Is like dynamite
Open your eyes
'cause it's like fire and ice
Roemello 1-05-04, 11:33 PM Too Young to Fall in Love - Motley Crue
I'm like a laser, six-string razor
I got a mouth like an alligator
I want to be louder, more power
I'm gonna rock until it strikes the hour
BANG YOUR HEAD (metal health) by Quiet Riot
Yes I thought you were a mystery girl
A special girl in this crazy little world
You couldnt see me when I laid eyes on you
Lonely is only a place, you dont know
what its like, you cant fight it.
Great song!! (Geez.. I like every song, don't I?)
"If You Want My Love" by Cheap Trick
We're not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize
Roemello 1-06-04, 04:29 PM No fault in having good taste in a wide variety of tunes! ;)
Things Can Only Get Better - Howard Jones
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
Magic - The Cars
Now I'm a jet fuel genius
I can solve the world's problems
without even trying
I've got dozens of friends, and the fun
never ends
That is as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the President
Is it any wonder I'm null and void
Damn.. another good one, Jasper! :thumb:
tick tock tick tock... gotta wait till tomorrow!
djdaffy1227 1-06-04, 08:39 PM Sorry Tina ;)

seems the hardest thing to do is make a friend or two
That helping hand
Someone who understands"

I heard you speak my name
Heard you singing The Stones
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static
On my telephone
Do You Believe in Shame - Duran Duran
They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
Roemello 1-07-04, 04:35 PM Money Changes Everything - Cyndi Lauper
We've got the most time
to make the world go round
Oh, can you spare a dime?
Place your bet on our sound
Electric youth - Debbie Gibson
I don't need another lonely night
To dry my tears
The answer's plain and it's black and white
And I can see the picture very clear
Edge of a Broken Heart - Vixen
But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by man
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
The End Of The Innocence - Don Henley - - I didn't even have to look that one up. :lol:
As the sun hides hiss head
For another night's rest
And the wind sings his same old song
Goodbye - Night Ranger
Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl
Roemello 1-08-04, 11:15 PM Our Lips are Sealed - The Go-Gos
You know your voice is a love song
It's a cat call from the past
There's no ice in your lovers walk
You don't look twice cause you move so fast
The One Thing - INXS
You love to pretend that you're good
When you're always up to no good
You really can't make him hate her
So your tongue became a razor

Rockin' all night long
Baby
Daylight, daylight
I'll still be lookin' in your heavenly eyes
And we'll go on and on
Go people

I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance.
KIDS IN AMERICA! Kim Wylde..... .I was humming this in my head for like a day and a half, until it FINALLY popped into my mellon what it was! Good one Roem!

So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place

Not sure about the U.K. because the first time I heard that song it was by M People, as opposed to Dennis Edwards, although his version is definitely superior :clap:

They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big

Leave everything behind you

Tarzan Boy - Baltimora (Just got an 80s new wave compilation disc that had that on it! )
If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side
Let the Good Times Roll The Cars (and later poweman 5000)
And it's a teenage sadness
Everyone has got to taste.
An in-between age madness
That you know you can't erase
Til she's sitting on your face.
Good Girls Don't - The Knack
I wouldn't if i were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart

Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean,
My logic has drowned in a sea of devotion.

Walk on thru throw yourself on the floor
When you're looking up it's no surprise
Standing there is a man with Movie Star Eyes

I read you books and talked for hours
every day, so many drinks, such pretty flowers

Yeah.. I kept finding different sets of lyrics for that song with different spoken word parts... they were all different! Only Geoff Tate knows for sure LOL
Now... I can't get Johnny Z's lyrics at all!!!!!
C'mon guys!! We gotta get this one so we can move on!
Here they are again..
Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
I know these lyrics...they are from Oh L'amour by Erasure.
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
