@@teamcaveman And he really HATED Johnny Cougar which was his name for his first album. It's kind of crazy how much he had to fight to get his real name on the records.
I was born in the 60's and some of these songs I haven't heard in a long time . I got 37 out of 40 .I can't think about the 80's without remembering the hair styles.
35/40. Not bad for an old headbanger who rarely listened to this kind of music back in the day. There are still some pretty good songs in this group.🤘🎸
Who ever you, you do know you 80's music as well as you think you because Rupert Homes song was not an 80's song because it was release in Billboards top 100 chart in the summer of 1979.
I got them all correct. I think this was a fairly easy list for any 1980's music aficionado. On a side note, Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" is not technically a 1980's song as it was released in 1979.
As an '80s preteen, this was not difficult by any matter of means. All top 40, thank you Casey kasem! You need to dig down a little to make it difficult.
I give credit to being a teenager when 1980 hit, Friday Night Videos for helping to cement the songs into my head, and the fact that I still listen to 80s on 8 (Sirius XM) quite often when in the car. 😄
24.5/40. I gave myself a half-point for getting either artist or song title. On 2 of the ones I "missed" I knew the song and artist, but didn't have enough time to get to the chorus in my brain and be like, "There we go!" These are SO much fun. Thank you!!!
22/40. Because for a handful I only knew either the artist or the title and a couple others I just honestly forgot that I even have the songs. Not bad for a guy born in 91!
I listened to so much variety of music in the 80s, that I could name almost any song, including Classic Rock, Pop, New Wave, Europop, Disco, Chicago House, FREESTYLE, and song country songs. I even knew songs such as Forgotten Season by Lee Yong, Only The Sound Of Her Laughter by Lee Moon Sae, and Julia Ni Heartbreak (aka Oh My Julia) by The Checkers.
Same score, and I missed the same two! I almost got stumped by Dionne Warwick...almost. Like so many others, growing up during this time (turned 15 in 1980) and the fact that I still listen to so much 80s music made this a very fun quiz.
40/40, what a shock! It was easy for me because I'm a Gen-Xer, who grew up on the radio and MTV. Oh, Baby Boomers love the 80s too. My mom took me to see INXS in concert in '88 during their Kick Tour. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it, let me tell you 😉😉
Arghhh Streisand - I really don’t like her and I didn’t know the name of her song lol! Awesome quiz - I got 2 wrong but knew them but didn’t remember the title!
37/40 We knew the tunes but couldn't get the brainboxes kicked in to the get to the chorus haha Great fun again sweetie,Thank you so much for creating these..Big hugs A and T 😍
39/40 ... Rupert Holmes got me. I thought it would be tougher though. Was quite easy. Really loved to hear all the old songs. Gen X here and the 80's were the BEST years of my life ❤❤❤
57 yr old from UK. 35 out of 40. Knew them all apart from 1. The brain just couldn't get the other 4 quick enough. 😐 Never heard of #25, though I have heard the song before...just didn't know the singer and song title. 😄
37.5 out of 40, which considering I'm a Brit and this is more based on the Billboard US charts, I'll settle for. 39 of the 40 were top 40 hits in the UK too so I can only claim a handicap with Mr Roboto by Styx, which didn't hit the UK top 40. The others I missed were Poison, couldn't work it out from the snippit, and Bill Withers, got the song but couldn't remember the artist.
I lived on the radio from the mid 70's through 1993. I know 39 out of 40. The one i missed was tin soldiers because the radio station, in the Seattle-Tacoma WA area, very rarely in the play list of the djs .
It was Toy Soldiers by Martika. They played it in MA. I missed 3 but knew 2 of those 3 but couldn't get to the title in my head quick enough. Over half were so easy I was saying song and artist before the music clip ended.
Not hard if you were there. I was going to stop listening it was so easy, but I stayed to the end to remind myself to Spotify search for songs I haven’t heard in ages.
28/40 pretty pleased with that as i live in uk and not all of them were hits over here- got caught on the surivor record,it sounds exactly like eye of the tiger!
I knew title and singer/band of one third. I knew only the title or at least the melody of the second third and the last third I've never heard before. I miss the 80s, wish I could go back in time.
When all the songs were top ten hits, this was super easy. Give us some Voices of Babylon, When the Heart Rules the Mind, One for the Mockingbird, fringe stuff!
Do another one n include take ur time do it right, is it you?, Sweetheart, sweet baby, The other woman, sukiyaki, catch me I'm falling, turn ur love around( a top 5 song), forget me nots, most people remember word up but can't name the artist. Loved this, it was fun.
How are these hard difficulty? i got 40/40, but I did grow up listening to these on the radio as a kid. Maybe that gives me an advantage. American Top 40 anyone?
I got all but one correct since I never heard anything from suzanne vega but "tom's diner" as it was released with a music background. Also, Cars by Gary Numan was from 1979 if memory serves. good collection tho, especially MR. Mister track "Broken Wings" Amazing song and album too. For some reason, that song made a top worst 80's tracks, and I have to say, whomever came up with that list obviously has differing musical taste, but wouldn't know a fantastically written and performed song if it sat on their faces and wiggled.
I didn't "officially" keep score, but it was really only the Laura Branigan song & maybe one other I actually didn't know. They did a good job of paying some obscure clips from a few of the songs, though!
In general, UK 80s music is so much better than US 80s music. David Bowie, Japan, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Gary Numan / Tubeway Army, Tears For Fears, Howard Jones, A-Ha, Spandau Ballet, Joe Jackson, The Blue Nile, The Cure, George Michael, Culture Club, Hipsway, The Jam, Secret Affair, Madness, Human League, Elvis Costello, Kate Bush, Ultravox, Eurythmics, The Communards, Erasure, Peter Gabriel, Wham!, Chris Rea, The Police, Simple Minds, The Smiths, etc
I think it's from 86-88 range. I hated that song so much, I knew it instantly. If it were on the radio, the station would have been changed before the music clip ended. lol
C'mon, give us a challenge. These songs were all on heavy top 40 rotation in the 80's. Too easy.
Not to mention they were moved to recurrent status and played forever.
Just to knit-pick, John Mellencamp was going by John Cougar at the time of "Jack and Diane". No Mellencamp involved yet. Otherwise nicely done.
I said that to myself before the answer was revealed--"Don't say Mellencamp". That was later. Lol.
His real name was Melancamp. He hated the name Cougar
Yup I was thinking the same thing I knew they were gonna get it wrong. So they are not perfect
@@teamcaveman And he really HATED Johnny Cougar which was his name for his first album. It's kind of crazy how much he had to fight to get his real name on the records.
40/40. Child of the 80’s!💪
Liar. I'm a child of the 80's and I got about 20 (plus some that I got the artist and not the song)
@@dessimpson I grew up in the 80s and got all 40 correct. A/T 40 with Casey Kasem paid off.
I was born in the 60's and some of these songs I haven't heard in a long time . I got 37 out of 40 .I can't think about the 80's without remembering the hair styles.
Makes me feel like I'm back in high school again. Oh how I miss the 80s. Like Cher said, "if I could turn back time."
35/40. Not bad for an old headbanger who rarely listened to this kind of music back in the day. There are still some pretty good songs in this group.🤘🎸
That was fun to hear some of the songs from when i was growing up . Thank you for that !
As someone who listened to American Top 40 every week in the 1980s, this wasn't hard at all. 40/40.😄
I would give you a run for your money!
Who ever you, you do know you 80's music as well as you think you because Rupert Homes song was not an 80's song because it was release in Billboards top 100 chart in the summer of 1979.
That's me...
@@michaelmarshall9705it charted in 1980.
I think I would have gotten them all if I had a little more time. Got 39/40 on title. 37 of 40 on artist. Guess I left my brain back in the 80’s! 😜
I got them all correct. I think this was a fairly easy list for any 1980's music aficionado. On a side note, Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" is not technically a 1980's song as it was released in 1979.
Same with Gary Numan 'Cars' which was a 1979 release also.
Yes, but it got the highest chart position in 1980 so therefore, it is classed as an 80s hit.
Nerds 😂
@@m.heider1580 1980s nerds and damn proud of it! 😂
These are so popular in the 80s.

38.5/40. Not hard. Mind you, I grew up listening to the UK Top 40 every week, and remember the 80s very well!
I got 37 out 40...and of those 3 missed I was familiar with 2 of them but stumbled on them. There was only 1 song I'd never heard in my life.
I listened to so much variety of music in the 80s, that I could name almost any song, including Classic Rock, Pop, New Wave, Europop, Disco, Chicago House, FREESTYLE, and song country songs.

39/40-I froze up on Glenn Medeiros' song title. Couldn't remember that it started with 'Nothing'
That was the only one I missed too!
That’s the one that got me too. I probably would have gotten it had they played a different part of the song.
the original was sung by George Benson in 1984 or 85.
28/40. Very disappointed in myself. I used to host an 80s show a few years ago so I should have gotten a better score :/
38 out of 40. Glenn Medeiros and Barbra Streisand were the two that stumped me. Proud to say I have the other 38 on vinyl :)
Same score, and I missed the same two! I almost got stumped by Dionne Warwick...almost. Like so many others, growing up during this time (turned 15 in 1980) and the fact that I still listen to so much 80s music made this a very fun quiz.

Lucky duck, I saw them in 1984. I missed out on some of the great music to come.
Arghhh Streisand - I really don’t like her and I didn’t know the name of her song lol! Awesome quiz - I got 2 wrong but knew them but didn’t remember the title!
She’s a great artist but her politics make her unlikable l😂
Child of the 80's and I got like, 7 right. I didn't even get Paula Abdul and I idolized her. Sadly, my memory is definitely starting to slip....
40/40- enjoyable quiz !! Love and miss the music of the 1980s❤
39.5/40 I knew Survivor was the artist but I couldn't get the title 'Eye of the Tiger' out of my head.
Got them all right, Not hard at all. The 80's were the best
20/40
1,3,5,7,8,11,29,33,34,38 title
12,22 artist
9,10,15,18,20,26,31,40 both
Disappointed. Didn't get Rickrolled
37/40 We knew the tunes but couldn't get the brainboxes kicked in to the get to the chorus haha Great fun again sweetie,Thank you so much for creating these..Big hugs A and T 😍
I was a radio dj in the 80's and actually played American Top 40 during my shift, so this was way too easy for me. Perfect score 💯
39/40 ... Rupert Holmes got me. I thought it would be tougher though. Was quite easy. Really loved to hear all the old songs. Gen X here and the 80's were the BEST years of my life ❤❤❤
I'm 54 these songs bring back so many memories of my childhood 😊
Well I got all but five. Don't rely too much on American Top 40; dig into the Uk and Eurpean charts as well.
Very fun... and not hard! Thank you!
57 yr old from UK. 35 out of 40. Knew them all apart from 1. The brain just couldn't get the other 4 quick enough. 😐
Never heard of #25, though I have heard the song before...just didn't know the singer and song title. 😄
As an alt punk gen x who only heard commercial music from my flatmate's love of Casey Kasem's Top 40 i managed 27/40...
40/40 easy peasy.
What a fun quiz, we were young in the eighties🤔 and still only got 25,we're old and addled now, maybe that explains it 🤣
37/40 not bad for being born in 82!!!
38/40. One of them I’d never heard before so it must have only been popular in the US
I‘m from Germany. I knew all the songs immediately. My favourite time!
Apparently I was more a rock/ alt chick , the poppy songs threw me, sorta knew em but had no desire to know em, ya know?
Good stuff grew up in the 80's
38/40, even naming the artist. I never like Poison, so I will give myself that one, and I forgot about Glenn Medeiros.
37.5 out of 40, which considering I'm a Brit and this is more based on the Billboard US charts, I'll settle for. 39 of the 40 were top 40 hits in the UK too so I can only claim a handicap with Mr Roboto by Styx, which didn't hit the UK top 40.

NONE of these were "deep cuts"

Really good quiz. Don't listen to the haters. Without pausing it was pretty hard. Missed a few due to slow brain and old age.
37/40 artist and song. Not bad.🤔
40/40. Thanks to Casey Kasem, this ‘82 baby was exposed to all of it.
39/40. Drew a blank on the Streisand song.
Not hard if you were there. I was going to stop listening it was so easy, but I stayed to the end to remind myself to Spotify search for songs I haven’t heard in ages.

Awesome quiz - 35/40🎉
Higher love steve winwood
34/40. Not too bad considering that some of these weren't hits in the UK.
33/40. I think that’s pretty good
Well done! 😊
Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder - That's what friends are for
…and Gladys Knight
born in 73, i managed about 3 - 40. guess music wasn't my thing back then
38 outta 40❤❤
I loved playing this game. I only got stumped by song number 27.
I knew title and singer/band of one third. I knew only the title or at least the melody of the second third and the last third I've never heard before. I miss the 80s, wish I could go back in time.
I got 31out of the 40, not bad ! 😏
Way Way Way to easy!!
When all the songs were top ten hits, this was super easy. Give us some Voices of Babylon, When the Heart Rules the Mind, One for the Mockingbird, fringe stuff!
The Outfield, GTR (one of my favorite groups!), and Cutting Crew...nailed it! 😁
This is pretty easy for someone who grew up in the 80's (p s. You spelled *Luka" wrong)
39/40 missed #12
36/40. Not bad.
Should have included tunes from both sides of the pond. Now, that would be a better test!
Broken wings mr mister
When you know you're getting old as I knew all the songs..
Just forgotten the name of song and artists here and there 😅
got 39/40 🙂
2. One Night in Bangkok and the last one as a gimme. Recognized a lot of them just no title magic.
36/40 - I’ll take that. Actually quite like the incidental music in between too. Is that a track in itself?
Do another one n include take ur time do it right, is it you?, Sweetheart, sweet baby, The other woman, sukiyaki, catch me I'm falling, turn ur love around( a top 5 song), forget me nots, most people remember word up but can't name the artist. Loved this, it was fun.
Thanks for the input, will definitely keep them in mind for another quiz! :)
Straight up
Yep too top 40, everyone knows Cher and Paula Abdul, maybe try a one hit wonder quiz
39\40....Boom!
I got 100%
Easy!
33/40 for me. I'm actually disappointed in myself for that low score. I should've done much better. I enjoyed it regardless though. Thank you!
That's not so bad 33/40 looks like a solid B to me.
19/40 many I've heard but either didn't know the title or the artist
I scored out of 80 for both song and artist. Only got 64/80....so it was a pretty hard one for me.
missed some because few artists didn't make it in France... (Gary Numan and few others)... the rest was fully world hit :)
Broken wings
How are these hard difficulty? i got 40/40, but I did grow up listening to these on the radio as a kid. Maybe that gives me an advantage. American Top 40 anyone?
Missed 2 but if they would have played different parts of the song or gave a little more time I could have gotten them all
26, but I was born in the 50’s and I am old af.
I got all but one correct since I never heard anything from suzanne vega but "tom's diner" as it was released with a music background.

Broken Wings being included in a worst of the 80s, is just plain wrong.
I would have put Love Shack by the B-52s on that list though (#24 I think).
Technically, "That's What Friends Are For" was released by (and charted as) Dionne & Friends.
I didn't "officially" keep score, but it was really only the Laura Branigan song & maybe one other I actually didn't know.
They did a good job of paying some obscure clips from a few of the songs, though!

I got like 80% on the song, 50% on the artist. And I remember hearing Love Shack for the first time in 1990 - maybe it was re-released in the UK.
I think it's from 86-88 range. I hated that song so much, I knew it instantly. If it were on the radio, the station would have been changed before the music clip ended. lol
I can’t believe I whiffed on the Laura Brannigan song. What a softball. The shame. The shame.
Good quiz, although Cars was 1979
That's when it was released, but it topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980.
37/40
Not bad
around 85% answered correct not difficult mostly well known 80s hits
Escape (The Pina Colada song) by Rupert Holmes was 1979
I knew 39/40. Not so much on band names.
I didn't know 3 of them
40/40, both titles and artists. It's "Luka," by the way, not "Luca." And you gave away the title in that one line.
