Subject: The 80s Quiz Medley <Game Over>

Written By: whistledog on 01/16/07 at 3:41 pm

The first Audio Quiz I ever did at inthe00s was an 80s Medley (back in October 2005) so I thought I'd do another one.  The premise is simple ...

There are 8 sound clips.  In each sound clip is a medley of 5 songs.  Each song within each medley is worth 1 point for a total of 40 points.  Remember to keep track of which song is in what order when you answer (ie: Medley 1, song 3; Medley 2, Song 2)

Enjoy! :)



Bookmistress = 2 | CF = 6 | Electrophile = 4 | Gambo = 4

in the video for Caribbean Queen, you can see a poster that reads "European Queen".  When they cut back to it, it says "Carubbean Queen" :D
