Quiz - Part 1 - All You Ever Need To Know (QUIZ FINISHED)

[mooster]

I found this list of song lyrics from 80's songs, that the author calls "All I Ever Needed To Know, I Learned From 80's Music" and I thought I'd post it here as a quiz

It has a few more sections to it and I will add more when this one is completed.

Give me the name of the song and who sang it and I will give you a credit if you happen to be correct. Fair ?

The first one seems awfully familiar

# 1 Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil

# 18 Boys Of Summer - Don Henley

# 19 Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

# 25 Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant (I am a bit embarrassed to know that )


I know # 3, but as this is supposedly an 80's quiz...someone must have covered it (which makes me shudder)

Sorry Traci but #3 is not Bryan Adams, nor a Bryan Adams song

I'm pulling rank here. #3 is indeed a Bryan Adams song and is indeed "Summer Of '69". I present Exhibit A:

Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

I love making fun of Traci for seldomly doing well at these things but I gotta say...she's dead-on this time and attempt to say otherwise is futile cuz it just ain't so.
