View Full Version : Lyrics quiz 1
Time to put your 80s music memory to the test. I will be putting up 3 quizzes as there are 50 lyrics to put up! See if you can get any of these:
1. My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
2. In the wilds of Borneo and the vineyards of Bordeaux
3. Hong Kong is up for grabs, London is full of Arabs
4. Livin' at home is such a drag, now your mom threw away your best porno mag
5. I went out for a ride and I never went back
6. Held a job on an oil rig
7. Ooo ooo ooo he speaks the languages of love
8. Down by old man Johnson's farm
9. I gave till I couldn't give any more
10. This year to save me from tears
11. There's an old piano and it's playing hot
12. If the were me, if they were me
13. Push pineapple shake the tree
14. I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well
15. Nobody's gonna go to school today
16. I gave you all a boy could give you
17. Easy, ready, willing, overtime.
Mind you I didn't exactly get all of the 50 either! Have fun anyway! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/wink.gif
