1980s Song Title Puzzle - Page 5

Qwikshot · 08-17-2005, 09:37 AM

...help them up

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going" - Billy Ocean just because it's a pick me up song, and O needs an artist.

edit: Gave complete song title

Well, the band X did have an 80's hit with its remake of Wild Thing, but I don't see a match there, so I'll sign up for X as the vacant letter as well.

WSUCougar · 08-17-2005, 09:47 AM

By the way, the band name is actually A Flock of Seagulls.

444 days = Length of Iranian hostage crisis (discussed earlier in the thread) = "I Ran".

Like I said, worst pun yet.

WSUCougar hinted that we getting pretty close in our discussion. I also remember him asking for clarification when someone else guessed the song for another clue. It suddenly just clicked...

John Galt · 08-17-2005, 09:54 AM

For No Hamlet Ending, I was thinking "living" or "alive" since everyone is pretty much dead at the end of the play. But I couldn't come up with anything that fit our letters or otherwise made sense.

Too bad "Smack my Bitch Up" isn't an '80's song, because that would be a brilliant answer.

Somebody mentioned that connection early on, I thought, so I figured it had been shot down. Maybe they just didn't follow it through.

I know that the letters might be already taken, but...

Yeah. I thought of that, but the "in America" part just didn't make sense to me (unless you just say the play wasn't set in America).

18 and Life to Go by Whoever the Fuck Sang That Song.

Man, it'd be really funny if that is the answer, and if the group is Poison.
