9/10....lotta good guesses. Now, like, get that hair big with a big ol can of aerosol Rave, pop ur collar & put on a matching shaker sweater & Jordache jeans & have a totally awesome weekend! 😎
9/10. The Police kept me from a perfect score.
I literally just looked at the printed lyrics. Dunno where they got 52 from, I only counted 30 times that "every" is used.
Eddie did NOT want any royalties for "Beat It"
Only 10 questions and 2 feature a pedophile?

6/10
"You nailed it"? Sort of - I got 7/10 (missed the first two and #7).
7/10

Nine out of ten. I don't know where Bonnie Tyler is from, but she doesn't know where I'm from either, so it balances out.
Only half right. Got all the 1963 questions even though I was just a little kid then.
3 out of 10 omg I busted the tape! Well I was only 12 in 1983.
10/10. Not bad for an old guy!
7/10
8/10 great songs 🎵😎
I thought I was going to be trip up for a moment.
4 out of 10.
3 of 10. 1983 was not a year I really remember.
8 for 10. Pretty challenging.
6/10. Ouch. Then again, I was only a year old in 1983, so I'm not that surprised.
1/10 yet again
