I got the hotel california one right . . . I dunno why, I guess because I really like the Eagles a lot. I didn't even realize that was a controversial/often-misheard one. I missed the Toto one, because I put "Hurry, now" or some such instead of "Hurry, boy." Stupid Joe. That one was 5 points?!?!

Okay, I can't figure this out. I got a 93, but Claudia Therese is not only completely tone deaf but claims to not appreciate most music. *looks suspiciously at her*

73.75 with a 10% bonus for the Church Lady era and 5 points for where I heard about it. I was kicking myself when I read the answers though and if I could hear the music I would have gotten a lot more.

Tom, I have a retentive memory for the lyrics. If I tried to hum them, they'd all sound like my version of "Stairway to Heaven." Posts: 14017 | Registered: May 2000

Yup. Although now I forget what the 30 percent penalty was for. Was is for not getting the Eagles reference? I knew it was the eagles, but just couldn't place the stinking words.

I gave up because I'm pretty sure it's "down at the 5 and dime" not "bought it at the 5 and dime". So if I can't even have confidence that the cues are right... Also I got to #33 and there hadn't been any Duran Duran lyrics. Stupid Anglophobes. I don't think, anyway. Maybe I'll take it some other time. I'm sure I'll get much better results using my Mac.

Pat, the 30% was for your age (i.e., old), and in that case, you did comparably to me. 73.6 is 70% of 105. So you did fine!

I'll take my 152.5. as someone once said to me "the 80's called and they want their music back"

I left most of 'em blank, and I accidentally used the wrong word in the Beach Boys one. What are they doing there anyway?

And another thing, there are some mistakes. I just took it again (119.5), and as I was perusing the answers I saw some stuff that didn't jive with my memories of the songs:
The line in "Whip It" (#18) is "Whip it. Whip it good," not "Whip, whip it good." Fortunately I was thinking Salt n Pepa anyway so I got that point.
The line in Africa (#19) is "Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you," not "it's waiting there for you."
Sometimes he includes things like "oh" and sometimes he doesn't. If he is, then the line in #28 should be "Don't turn around, oh oh oh. Der kommisar's in town," and if he isn't then the line in #40 should be "Here she comes," not "ooh Here she comes."
In "Living on a Prayer" (#25), it should either be "Oh, we're halfway there" or "Oh, oh, we're halfway there" (it's definitely two notes and he doesn't say "yeah");
