As far as I'm concerned, both "crazy" and "out of your mind" are correct answers. But I assume you want me to answer "crazy baby". Otherwise I'm out of options.

12 | Who did a little number on the teacher when she turned her back?


Maxwell hasn't been playing, so I'll pick up the silver hammer on his behalf, but the Beatles track isn't an 80s song, so I don't actually think I have this one.


19 | what has got you going crazy?


Back in the day, David Lee Roth was goin' crazy from the heat


20 | Help me understand, this, what I can't understand


Internet flamewars about whether Depeche Mode was about the new wave of the 80s or the remixes of the early 90s are what makes a man hate another man.

Subject: Re: The answer is in the lyrics: The 80s Edition <LIMIT REMOVED>

Written By: whistledog on 02/18/13 at 9:45 pm

Hint time and the limit has been removed!

#7 was a mid 80s duet by a legendary musician who is no longer with us
#8 was a popular song by a quartet who had a lead singer who was often in the news for his looks\
#12 gets no hints because frankly I am surprised no one has gotten it yet.  I thought this was a popular song?
#13 was a OHW in the US, even though it failed to reach the Top 40 there.  He had more hits in the UK, and two others in Canada
#19 was a Top 10 hit by a bunch of brothers/sisters

Remember, the answer is in the lyrics ;)
