Date: 2006-09-28 10:06 pm (UTC)Number 13 is Rod Stewart, and I remember the song, but can't remember the name, um, "She's got Betty Davis Eyes"?
And what is this, ode to the 80s?? :-)
no subject
Date: 2006-09-28 10:20 pm (UTC)#13 is NOT Rod Stewart. It's actually a woman singing. But "Bette Davis Eyes" is correct, so half credit there.
Yes, it's ode to the 1980s. That's why the first line of the post says: I now challenge you all to ID 80s song lyrics.

13 - Betty Davis Eyes - Kim Cairnes?

18 The futures so bright
I can sing most of these songs and know almost all the lyrics - but dammit if i can recall the song name or the artist!
no subject
Date: 2006-09-28 10:22 pm (UTC)#11 Right on the song, but half credit for no artist
#13 Correct!
#14 Half credit again.
#16 Right on the song, but no artist given, so half credit.
#18 Right on the song, but no artist given, so half credit.
This is where we separate the true 80s music geeks from the amateurs.
