'80s music quiz

[avram]

If you plan to take this, spelling counts! I felt really stupid for using a singular instead of a plural at one point. And you only score for a lyric if you get all the parts of it. I lost a few points for swapping two words. But I did get a couple of the obscure ones (including #83).

That makes two of us. I would've done better, but I missed a couple of plurals. Yeesh.

Also I am surprised that knowing the lyrics to "Africa" by Toto is unusual.

Does this mean I didn't do very well?

Oddest one -- four points for

You were working as a ___________ in a ______________ bar

with a quote of 'nobody ever gets this'. This is the song that is so ground into the psyche of Brits of about my age that Fiat used it in an ad where the characters speak, rather than sing, the lines of the song (http://www.visit4info.com/watchad.cfm?id=5102&static=yes&back_page=static/advert_pages/5102.cfm?back_page=4.cfm), presumably in the belief that almost their entire target audience would recognise it.

I wound up with 22.5 percent, after "-30% for being a yuppie" (for admitting to being born before Woodstock) but bonus points for saying where I'd seen it.

They got a couple of the lyrics wrong (to "Time After Time" and "Missing You"), but a fun quiz. I got 121.
