Heya!

I thought it might be fun to have an ongoing music quiz thread so I'm giving it a shot. I'll post questions and when people answer them, I'll try to post new ones. If anyone would like to help keep this going, so long as there's nothing else going on - feel free to add questions of your own. They can be about anything related to music and in any shape or form.

I'm gonna start out with an 80s lyrics challenge. You answer by providing the missing words from these lyrical lines. There are only two rules :


RULES :

• If you answer, you have to provide answers to all of them. Not answering all of them immediately disqualifies you.
• Don't look for solutions elsewhere on the net. No cheating, man!

Alright, here are some lines from 80s pop hits. Provide me with the missing words.

1. I'll never be _______ ________ - You're a creature of the night
2. I was beat, incomplete - I'd been had - I was ____ and _____
3. ________ _______ is not my lover - She's just a girl that claims that I am the one
4. We're no strangers to _____ - You know the _____ and so do I
5. I _____ rock n roll, so put another _____ on the jukebox, baby
6. Near a tree by the river, there's a ______ in the _______
7. We got to install _________ _________ - Custom ______ deliveries
8. _______ come alive, you can ________ right through your life
9. Her hands a are never cold - She's got ______ ______ eyes
10. I'm never gonna ______ again - _______ feet have got no rhythmn

I think these should be somewhat easy to start with. Remember, not providing words to all ten disqualifies you. If you don't know, make some guesses!

Although I'm pretty sure this will turn out a mess, I'll try and award some points to participants for the fun of it. For now, one point per correct line should be good.

edit :

Duh, managed to mess up some lyrics myself .. come on. Noone?

1. I'll never be alone again - You're a creature of the night
2. I was beat, incomplete - I'd been had - I was lost and cold
3. Billie Jean is not my lover - She's just a girl that claims that I am the one
4. We're no strangers to lo-ho-ho-hove - You know the ru-hules and so do I
5. I love rock n roll, so put another dime in the jukebox, baby
6. Near a tree by the river, there's a bluebird in the maytree
7. We got to install new computers - Custom Best Buy deliveries
8. Just come alive, you can run right through your life
9. Her hands are never cold - She's got stone cold eyes
10. I'm never gonna dance again - these feet have got no rhythmn

1, 3, 4, 5, 10 I actually know. I feel like 6 is Stairway but of course that's not 80's, went along with it anyway because I can't remember the words exactly <.< The rest are jokes/guesses

Also, it's "IN the jukebox"

Alright .. Let's see, the ones you got right are : 3, 4 & 5 ..

You get three points. Your 80s hits lyrics skills are so far unimpressive!

I've listed the solutions below. The quiz-words are colored and in bold. Red are the ones you didn't get and green are the ones you got correct. I'll also provide the artist and song.

1. I'll never be Maria Magdalena - You're a creature of the night ~ Sandra - Maria Magdalena
2. I was beat, incomplete - I'd been had - I was sad and blue ~ Madonna - Like a Virgin
3. Billie Jean is not my lover - She's just a girl that claims that I am the one ~ Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
4. We're no strangers to love - You know the rules and so do I ~ Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
5. I love rock n roll, so put another dime in the jukebox, baby ~ Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'n' Roll
6. Near a tree by the river, there's a hole in the ground ~ Nik Kershaw - The Riddle
7. We got to install microwave ovens - Custom kitchen deliveries ~ Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
8. Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life ~ Irene Cara - Flashdance (What a Feeling)
9. Her hands are never cold - She's got Bette Davis eyes ~ Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
10. I'm never gonna dance again - guilty feet have got no rhythmn ~ Wham!/George Michael - Careless Whisper

Isn't that what I wrote?

I suspect you meant to write "ON". I was wondering about it and I looked it up. All the sources I looked at said "in".

I'll post another lyrics quiz in a few.

I edited the lyrics in my post, they're still wrong in the original.

And lol, I was so wrong about 1.

Oh duh! I was looking up sources to check against your correction ..

Oh well, here are the next lines - the theme is still 80s hits :

1. I walked along the avenue .. I never thought I'd meet a ______ like _____ ..
2. Stand and deliver - Your _______ or your _______ !
3. I'll beeeee gooooone .. In a ____ or _____
4. I always feel like - somebody's _______ me .. And I have no _______
5. It's tricky to rock a _______ to rock a _______ that's right on time
6. Your pops caught you smokin' and he said _____ _____ !
7. I wanna ____ ! .. I want to _____ !
8. Come on _______, Oh - I swear (well he means) At this moment - you mean _________
9. Girls on ______ - two minutes later - girls on ________
10. We're leaving together - but still its ________ - And maybe we'll come back - to ______, who can tell

I think some of these might be a little harder than the previous .. but maybe not.

I'm pretty sure about 7 and the first word of 8
other that that, there's a big question mark above my head

Guybrush

Yeah, seems people either are not good at lyrics or they don't know 80s hits or possibly both. It might just be the 80s hits, so I could try to narrow it down a bit so that perhaps it's genre specific and possibly from another decade or I'll try a new quiz-form altogether ..

But not until someone answers them!

I think they're all a breeze. It's easy for me to say since I made them, though.

edit :

Looked'em over and while some are perhaps a bit hard, I feel I can say with relative certainty that at least 90% of the users here should've heard song 3 and song 10 - likely several times.
