View Full Version : Name That 80s Hit Tune
This should be a load of fun!! I hope!! :lol:
Here's the dealio:
1. All Tunes MUST be 80s HITS....no obscure tunes. Not everyone knows that the Gabble Goobers had a song called Gum On My Shoe on the second side, track 4, of their non-hit album. (Mainly because I made the Gabbles up, but you get my drift, yes? :lol: )
2. You give one or two lines, the person following you gives the band name and the song title. They leave a clue for the next person. :)**if you need a 'hit', djdaffy has some awesome lists to use as references in the Top 40 forum!**
AND
3. As always (almost) folks, please stick to one post per day per player! And HAVE FUN!! :)

Of course, "So long" was the song... Maybe I was sure that everybody would know it just because I like it so much. I cannot understand why it was not a hit in the U.S. :confused:
About djdaffy's one... I'm quite sure it's a Rupert Holmes song, but I don't know the title of it. I remember that I read somewhere that these lyrics (dog food for the cat) were written only to rhyme!. It's the kind of stupid things that you always remember instead of the important ones... :lol:. I'll investigate it, the title of the song has to be easy to find.
DONE!!!! :thumb:

Do you guys actually know all these lyrics or do you cheat (http://www.google.com) ?
I honestly don't know how going to a google search could help you cheat...
If that's the case.. I could come up with the answer to Roem's latest verse.. but I have no clue what it is...
I guess if you like and lsten to many genres of 80s music, you just know the lyrics... it's that simple! And to be honest.. we've made most of these VERY easy..
But.. Roem.. I can't figure yours out yet!
Roem's is "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.
Some I know right off the bat, some I have to think about for a few. And some I dang well have to cheat to get. :lol: But to be fair, I look up the lyrics I use, also, to make sure I'm posting the right words. ;) How about we try to do 3 or 4 lines to make it easier on everyone?
