Okay, this is sort of going to be a game.
Simply, I'll name a song, and you guess the band. And remember, all 80's tunes here. They'll get harder as they go...

1)"Take On Me"
2)"Don't You Forget About Me"
3)"Too Shy"
4)"Pass the Dutchie"
5)"Broken Wings"
6)"I Want to Know What Love Is"
7)"Melt With You"
8)"Rock the Casbah"
9)"You Spin Me Right Round"
10)"Owner of A lonely Heart"
11)"Pretty In Pink'
12)"The Reflex"
13)"Rock Me Amadeus"
14)"Don't Dream It's Over"
15)"People Are People"
16)"Jesse's Girl"
17)"The Look Of Love"
18)"West End Girls'
19)"Voices Carry"
20)"Eye of the Tiger"

Whew, that might be a lot, but good luck. To some this might be a piece of cake, but jost post to humor me anyway.
NO PEEKING! until of course you finish...

Great job, Madness!
You got 'em all perfect. You even got "Rock Me Amadeus" and "The Look of Love", which I would think would be the hardest.

When in Rome had a song called "The Promise". Is that what you are thinking of?

Cokies · 05-31-2001, 09:36 PM

Yep, you're right Bootsy Woosh. Good job.

Who sang "Whisper To A Scream"? Told you it was hard...
