FOR JUNE 5, 2000
Since we haven't received a solitary e-mail about what we should do with this section, we've decided to just post the entire quiz at once. It'll probably be up forever, so don't fret. (Who reads this website, anyway?)
We're not usually big on e-mail forwards, but this one is pretty amazing. It is also a lot fun and highly addicting. Once you start reading, you'll no doubt be kept busy for hours! Get a pencil and paper handy...or open up a word program or something.
Below are 222 lines (about 44 women) from '80s pop music songs. Your job is to guess the song and artist of each. No two songs are by the same artist, and all were produced between 1980 - 1989. The average person should be familiar with almost all of the songs, if he/she owned a radio in the '80s.
Answers will be provided at a later date...if you're lucky.
Good luck...and keep on dancing!
