Remember the 80s? Test your knowledge of cheesy 80s lyrics. I got 108.5. (Link via Radley.)

More: It's a pretty difficult quiz, and I don't think I'll be giving much away by noting an outstanding reference to an early Human League hit, the inclusion of a couple of one-hit wonders (Cutting Crew, anyone?), and some tough lyrical nuggets from songs you thought you knew. But, as the quizmaster him/herself points out, some of them are pretty easy to guess. It would toughen up the test to make the contestant vie for full credit by identifying the artist, the song title, and perhaps even the year of release. Try it yourself as you take the quiz. Even if most of the lyrics spur your memory, you'll find yourself occasionally asking, "Now who the hell did that song anyway?"
