There were a few short ones that I didn't recognize at all, but they came to mind when I saw the answer. :sigh: And it's true, I didn't want my MTV... the last time I had cable TV was about 1980. --Mike-- Ericahist [updated Oct 26] | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber "Linux is good.

David Stone

Because: 1) I was born in '86 2) I believe I was the only good product of the '80s 3) The two genres of music I hate with a passion are rap and '80s music. :-D

When I can talk about 64 bit processors and attract girls with my computer not my car, I'll come out of the closet. Until that time...I'm like "What's the ENTER key?" -Hockey on being a geek

Hey Fish, "child of the 80s" means "grew up in and has memories of the 80s", not simply "born in the 80s". Away with ye! ;P /me is old --Mike-- Ericahist [updated Oct 26] | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? I think so Brain, but if we shaved our heads, we'd look like weasels!

But two factors wheighted: 1. It's just a guess, cause I'm too lazy to answer all those questions. 2. I lived the 80's when I was a teenager, and then I didn't speak English. Remembering exact phrases is hard. Trying to make bits uncopyable is like trying to make water not wet. -- Bruce Schneier By the way, dog_spawn isn't a nickname - it is my name with an underscore instead of a space. -- dog_spawn

Ok, so i misspelled "Billie Jean", for some reason know the lyrics to "Don't You Want Me", and guessed #97. :-O And the sad thing is, "Africa" is the only song i actually remember hearing in the '80s. A couple years of oldies radio addiction has done it's damage.

A servant to formulaic ways.

I recognised a few more but couldn;t pin down the words exactly as required. :( Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Death come early, death come late, It takes us all, there is no reason. For every purpose under heaven, To each a turn, to each a season. A time to weep and a time to sigh, A time to laugh and a time to cry, A time to be born and a time to die. Dust to dust and ashes to ashes, And so I end my song.

I still listen to my 80's music, so the lyrics are still fresh.
