Eightysomething

Metafilter turned me on to this nifty 80's lyrics quiz, and now I'll pay it forward to you. Tip: to get your score unmodified by lame bonuses/penalties for your age, choose "Just Say No" to the generation drop-down at the bottom of the page. Oh, and spelling counts, so be careful.

My score: 113

91.5 - oh the shame...

I could do without the snotty commentary for every wrong answer...

70 here, but I didn't listen to many of these songs deliberately,
just absorbed a bunch through osmosis. Would have been 60 except I knew "colitas."

108.5 - so close...

103 thanks to some unfortunate lapses (forgotten letters and plurals). A few minutes with iTunes is all I needed . . .

105 - and I'm pissed that I couldn't think of the Metallica one.

107 -- and I coulda kicked myself for some of the near-misses (including spelling & plural problems). :-P

Fun all the same ... lots of high school & early college scenes popping up in my head while I did the thing. ;-)
