Hi everyone!  :)

I know it's been a while since I last posted a quiz -- so here's my latest offering!  All lyrics are from songs which were hits in the 1980's, and I tried to pick from songs which aren't commonly used in lyrics quizzes just to make this a bit more challenging!  You know the drill!

#4 Warrior - Scandal  (its the only one I know so far)


That one is correct!  :)

Hiya Karen! I think I know a couple of these.

I believe number 6 is the first line from "Magic" by The Cars.

And number 18 sounds like "Rock Of Ages" by Def Leppard.

#16 Sweet Freedom - Michael McDonald

Hi there, Jeff!  :)

Your answers are both correct...but I just wanted to let you know that the lyric I chose from the Cars song is actually the second line... ;)

Oh yeah, that's right...the first line just has "Summer" in it. But I knew that the song started that way! 8)

What a coincidence...I saw them, too (back in '88)!  :D

I've lifted the limit now and am 'BUMPING' this thread!  :)

Hi Karen  :)

#17  Handle With Care - George Harrison  ???

I say this with uncertainty only because the line I generally sing in my head goes "Oh, the sweet smell of success..."  :-\\

3. Where are you now... but I forget by who/whom... some boy band, I think.  Awesome, sappy song.

If you're right about the song, you're not entirely right about the artist. That would be the Traveling Wilbury's (which included George Harrison). ;)

Hi, Amanda!  :)

You're correct with the song title, but it was actually done by a super-group and not George Harrison alone...

Henk has the right answer (see below), so you two will share credit on this one... :)

That's correct, Henk...so you and Amanda will share credit on this one!  :)

That is indeed the title, Patty...

Maybe somebody else will come up with the group... :)

Jimmy Harnen & Synch, I do believe...

(That lyric looked so familiar, but I just couldn't place it!)

Right you are, Paul!  :)

Still no guesses on #9, eh?  ???

I just knew as soon as you put those clues up that I'd be hit by 'realisation'!  ::)

#9. 'Three Times In Love' - Tommy James
#15. 'The Second Time Around' - Shalamar

I have a feeling what the the other one is, but let's see if someone else can nab it!

I just knew as soon as you put those clues up that I'd be hit by 'realisation'!  ::)

I expected you to get those before it came time for me to put up clues...

Oh well!  ;)

#9. 'Three Times In Love' - Tommy James
#15. 'The Second Time Around' - Shalamar

You got 'em!  :)

I expected you to get those before it came time for me to put up clues...


What can I say? I'm getting old and decrepit!  :D ;)

Feeble excuse!  ::) ;)

Feeble excuse!  ::) ;)


...and a feeble mind to go with it!  :D

I got here too late, but I can get that last one ...

#7 is 'High on You' by Survivor, which to me was their 2nd best song :)

You got it, Jason!  :)

(And btw, I agree with you about it being their second best song!  ;))
