In Other Words...DONE! FINITO! DEEP-SIXED!

This quiz seemed to get a decent reception when we were on the old board so I decided to make a new one and see how it goes.

I've reworded the titles of twenty popular hits of the 1980's. I'm willing to bet most of you are familiar with most if not all the songs I used. See if you can identify these songs AND the artists that sang them. Some of them are pretty easy, a few of them are a little nasty. Good luck with it

FINISHED!
