Another Quick 1980s Song Lyric Quiz
Again, these are all lines from 1980s songs, or maybe late 1970s or early 1990s. I tried to get a little tougher this time. Name the artist/band.
1. To worry, worry, super-scurry (Nena) 2. I’m lost in the darkness of our love (Bruce Springsteen) 3. Ain’t no law against it yet (Cyndi Lauper) 4. C’mon honey, let’s go make some noise (Bangles) 5. It was a place I knew well (Heart) 6. Free at last (U2) 7. The moonlit wings reflect the stars (Toto) 8. Maybe a diamond ring (Traveling Wilburys) 9. I wish that we could lose this crowd (Wham) 10. Standin' on your mama's porch (Bryan Adams) 11. You are the move you make (Yes) 12. On a cold, dark winter's night (REO Speedwagon) 13. She's a natural law (Robert Palmer) 14. Like a teardrop in your palm (Roxette) 15. Steam in the subway (Duran Duran)

10 has me thinking of John Mellencamp, but I can't quite place it. (And now I have several of his songs in my head - thanks so much for that) Maybe Cherry Bomb?

I'm ashamed, but I believe #3 is She Bop by Cyndi Lauper.

#3 just came to me...it was probably the most obscure.
Cyndi Lauper - She Bop It's pitiful, but it seems I can remember most of the lyrics and song titles from the 80s. |

Cyndi Lauper. But I can't name the title at all.

The real question is which one? I'm missing Wham! and the Traveling Wilburys, but that's it. Every other one is in my CD collection. Pitiful, isn't it? |

Feel free to do another one on your own, Blackie. I may do another but it will probably be tonight at the earliest.
