    Take the 80s Lyrics Quiz[^] [nn,ws] It'll take a while to go thru them all (I haven't answered them all yet) but reply putting your score in the subject so all us 80s kids can feel old together ;) Final score: 63

    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.

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

                Hey Fish, "child of the 80s" means "grew up in and has memories of the 80s", not simply "born in the 80s".

                    Heh, got all 3 bonus questions but: "You grew up to this. No Bonus. No penalty. 5 point bonus for telling me where you saw this. Thanks!" To be perfectly honest, I got stuck several times and kept going back as thing would suddenly stick. There were 4 of us going through it, so the 132 takes into account 3 developers and 1 accounting person. FUN! :cool:
