Today's Quick 1980s Song Lyric Quiz

WSUCougar · 08-10-2005, 10:45 AM

While I'm working up a more complex puzzle format (insert maniacal laughter) on this theme, here's some more kinda easy ones to pick off. As before, songs are from the 80s or late 70s or early 90s. Name the artist/band.

1. Today is the day (Boston)
2. Of what you were yesterday
3. Anyway the wind blows (Queen)
4. The wind won’t stop (The Police)
5. I was born to dream (Loverboy)
6. Eyes that dreamed (Michael Jackson)
7. Passion Killer (Def Leppard)
8. Passion or coincidence (Duran Duran)
9. Wash the palette clean (Pat Benatar)
10. Moving parts clean (Van Halen)

8. Duran Duran- Ordinary World????

That was in the 80's?

Wolfpack · 08-10-2005, 10:57 AM

He did say most of these were from the 80s, but that there were some that were from the 70s and 90s.

gottimd · 08-10-2005, 10:58 AM

Damn, I got so many so quickly, now I got those songs stuck in my head and can't think of the rest

That's it...I think it was around 1991 or 1992(?)

Come on now, don't back down now.

I thought #5 in particular was quite easy.

Right band, wrong song. "Don't Look Back" was the song I was thinking of (I think the line in Amanda goes something like "Tomorrow's another day.")

I think it's actually "I feel like today's the day, lookin' for the words to say..."

You are correct, sir. Sorry about that. Turns out we're both right!

Kodos · 08-10-2005, 12:21 PM

Don't use Sting's "A thousand rainy days" lyric, because he uses it in about 50 songs.

Kodos · 08-10-2005, 12:46 PM

2. Of what you were yesterday

This one drove me nuts. I finally had to look it up.
