	The Go-Gos did Our Lips Are Sealed? In the UK, it was Bananarama who had a hit with that song. Good quiz - nice balance of styles to suit varied tastes. I have never heard of Violent Femmes or Modern English - perhaps they didn't cross the pond successfully.

	@bamber. I rememeber the Go-Gos version (I think I bought it). I don't recall Bananarama doing it, although The Fun Boy Three had a version. Violent Femmes were reasonably successful in the UK. I remember them touring in the mid-80s.

	@bamber... Modern English is from your side of the pond.

	Yeah, I'm with Fruitbat. I don't ever remember Bananarama covering Our Lips Are Sealed.

	"Every Rose has Its Thorn" should not have an apostrophe in "its". Good blend of new wave and pop.

	Agree with jenzahara. What you wrote means "Every Rose has it is Thorn."

	Terry Hall (of the Specials and Fun Boy Three) and Jane Wiedlin (Go-Go's) wrote "Our Lips Are Sealed." The Go-Go's first recorded it, then FBT recorded it a year later. The Bananarama confusion might be that Fun Boy Three collaborated on the song "It Ain't What You Do" with them and had a UK hit with it in 1982.

	The Fun Boy Three version is credited as featuring Bananarama, who did back up vocals. I grew up knowing the Go Gos song, but wow, the Fun Boy Three version is kind of haunting and paranoid and completely changes the tone of the song.

	Sorry to see Melt with You so low. That's actually a lovely song.

	Basketball, I don't know; Kazakhstan, I don't know; but 80's music like ABC's.

	I remember when everyone of those songs was a new song. Damn I'm old!
