	I'm surprised at how many of these I was able to figure out without even looking at the artist. Nice quiz!

	prockstar83:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 15:26 GMT	7 points
	"Girth, Girth, Girth" for a Motley Crue clue? Hope you're not making any dirty drummer references...

	Blimpyboy:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 15:28 GMT	6 points
	I really want to hear Madonna sing about that Likeable Aardvark Virginia!

	Tony_A:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 15:30 GMT	4 points
	Curious how you used the same word three times for Motley Crue, but for two others that shared a word, you used a different word for each.

	venu77:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 15:45 GMT	10 points
	'Girth Girth Girth' - sounds like Motley Crue with a lisp!

	caramba:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 16:26 GMT	2 points
	Like skinnyboy77, I was able to get a lot of these withour looking at the artist - perhaps MrChewypoo can create a sequel for those who like an even more difficult challenge.

	@caramba: There is a movie version which I think is pretty fun: http://www.sporcle.com/games/MrChewypoo/dictatorship-prowl-moxies @Tony_A: Originally I had three different 'Gi' words, but 'Girth' was just too funny and I had to do it like that. Thanks for playing!

	I always suspected that Journey had more than one song, now I know for sure.

	grover173:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 17:33 GMT	1 point
	Creative and original! I really liked this quiz and it was tougher than I thought it'd be.

	aerojovi83:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 17:41 GMT	9 points
	Might as well JUMBO!

	amishmime:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 18:03 GMT	7 points
	I guess I never knew how to spell prerogative.

	"Cherry Pie" was released in 1990.

	jtrichey:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 18:36 GMT	1 point
	pretty easy with the band names but would have probably been too hard without it.

	monstro:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 18:37 GMT	3 points
	I found this easier if I squinted at the clues, so I could just barely make them out.

	"Blue Monday" = released in 1983. Funny that Mondale was bludgeoned in the election a year later.

	SteampunkNinja:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 20:14 GMT	3 points
	I died twice on Badass Medick. First I died laughing, then I died because I couldn't get it.

	@MrChewypoo: Great quiz! I really like the style. Would it be okay with you if I borrowed it for other generations/genres of music? Or are those already in production/have been created? If so, send me a link please :)

	KerrieBee23:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 22:55 GMT	1 point
	why the shape of the quiz?

	eab21:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 23:49 GMT	1 point
	Unskillful Boozer, Likeable Aardvark Virginia, and Bacon Inability Blabbermouth were my favorites. LOL

	HambonePA:	Oct 19th, 2011 at 01:28 GMT	5 points
	First, great choices of songs. Second, this was a blast and I would love to hear Girth Girth Girth and Timid Afterbirth Timid!

	It's ironic that most people use the word "ironic" improperly. (You meant "coincidental.")

	TheLuggage:	Oct 19th, 2011 at 04:51 GMT	-1 points
	Besides "Cherry Pie", "Unskinny Bop" was also released in 1990. by definition they are not 80s songs.

	Bobman1:	Oct 19th, 2011 at 07:04 GMT	1 point
	great concept. Not sure if it's an 80s song or earlier, but I typed in Legrange (Lagrange?) a handful of ways for ZZ top. If it's with an E and in the 80s, it should be accepted. If not, then, hey look! A squirrel!

	MrChewypoo:	Oct 20th, 2011 at 13:22 GMT	3 points
	Awww, man! You guys, like, just totally ruined my 80's! Cherry Pie and Unskinny Bop, in my mind, represented the absolute essence of 80's hair rock. I guess someone forgot to turn off the Cheezy Switch on Dec 31st, 1989? Cherry Pie was recorded in 1989 and the Flesh & Blood album began recording that year (although that song wasn't recorded until 1990), so let's call them 'Honorary 80's Songs'? Thanks for pointing it out and for playing! PS. It's 'La Grange'

	juleswinnfield:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 18:01 GMT	-3 points
	A little too "Hair band centric" for my tastes

	Cecispanda:	Dec 4th, 2011 at 16:46 GMT	1 point
	Just a question -- is "unskinny" actually in your dictionary, or did you just pick a word from where it would have been ;). Great Quiz!

	Beatle:	Jan 28th, 2012 at 16:10 GMT	-1 points
	Apart from other mentioned ones, Hysterectomy was also pretty funny. Also, notice how Glee did about five of these? And notice the proximity title column getting bigger towards the bottom?
