2) D: Was he before or after Rob Lowe?
3) E: None of the above. Isnt it that song "I'm Turning Japanese"?
4) C: Oh hell, if there were a way for me to get a discount on a McGriddle, I would max it out, man.
5) B: Jewel's early music was good, but now its just fluff.
6) D: I mean, what women isn't looking for that?
7) C: Like, the BEST Madonna song evah! It rings through my ears and stings my eyes like a spanish lullaby!
8) A: Yeah, Mr. T. refused to cash in all the gold around his neck to pay it all back.
9) D: Except I don't know why I never can seem to find the dish "wang chung" on any New York Chinese Food menu!
10) C: I love chochskies!
You need a Pound Puppy question the next time.
:) I was LMAO at your answers!
and so:
1) Really? I'm going to have to try harder!
2.) Ewwww.
3.)I love that song! And now I love it even more.
4.)Yeah, don't underestimate the power of the McGriddle.
5.)Yeah, I liked her before she put out her dance album.
6.) Well, so I've been told.
7.) LOL! Makes me wish there was a spanish version. Shakira? Are you listening?
8.) Yeah, that's a good point! Mr. T could have bought them a nice new van with all that bling.
9.)I think you have to be in the band to get that dish made for you.
10.) I'm a chotske fan myself. Still not sure how to spell it though.
Thanks for playing along, Amy! You're right, I've unjustly ignored Pound Puppies. And Cabbage Patch dolls for that matter. I'm going to lose my 80's pop culture license and then I'll only be able to make 90's references.
Dude! You’ve got to come up with harder questions than THAT!
Like, what was the name of the little kid who was in Madonna’s ‘Open Your Heart’ video?
;)
1) a
2) b
3) b
4) a
5) d
6) c
7) d
8) c
9) “You give love a bad name”
10) a
80's references are always great.
:)
1. a
2. b
3. b, although...
4. hm..
5. d (Soooo awesome)
6. c
7. uh...
8. c?
9. c
10. a?... I had to ask my husband.
And just when I thought the Artist Formerly Known As An Artist was clean enough for my kids to join me on my stroll down 80's Memory Lane (excluding Darling Nikki), I lead them through a few lines of Little Red Corvette (possibly one of the greatest songs to come out of the 80's if you ask me). Sadly, I found myself having to explain what trojans were, and by the way, who the jockeys were. Nice.
But really, when you hear the line, "I wanna try to tame your little red looooooooove machine," doesn't it seem like at that moment everything is right with the world? ;)
Marty: Okay, I bow to your 80's knowledge. All I remember about Madonna's "Open Your Heart" video was her boobies.
Laura: Thanx for playing!
Steph: Yeahhh, there's nothing like 80's era Prince. But you mean he's not referencing the Illiad?
