Subject: 1983 "A to Z" Lyrics Quiz (COMPLETE!)

Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 02/03/03 at 11:53 p.m.

Well since my 1982 quiz is almost finished, I thought I would go ahead and post 1983.  A lot of original music came out this year and I remember it well.  There are 23 lyrics for this year...I have left out the letters V, X and Z.  Name the song and the artist(s).  Limit: 4 (for now)

Have fun!  ;D

Notes:  On #22 I am looking for who sings the 1983 version.  Also, if you see an error, please let me know!  Thanks!
