	"Money for Nothing" has been banned in Canada for the word "fa**ot". Was I allowed to answer that one, or am I in trouble now?

	@The_Road_Guy: You're fine as long as you stick to the single edit. (Actually, a group of commercial broadcaster decided the album version was no longer acceptable for broadcast. Oddly enough, CBC Radio, which is government owned, is not under the same restriction.)

	Got them all. I am old.

	No Guinevere, if you were old they would have been AFTER your time. On the pop culture ones I often get the least gotten answers correct and miss a lot of the ones a lot of people get. I'd rule on songs from the 30s and 40s.

	hmmm. Guess who used to listen to American Top Forty every weekend as a 12 year-old?

	It's amazing that I have forgot everything I learned at school during my junior year of high school yet am able to recall the names of these songs. Not sure if that is an indictment of our educational system or me personally!

	@Road_Guy, there is an edited version of MFN that edits out the entire verse with "fa**ot." Took me a bit to remember Careless Whisper, but got all the others easily.

	Wow. What a rush of nostalgia. I can remember these songs as though I'd heard them yesterday.

	ezois:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT		2 points
	Yes, there is an edited version that leaves out that verse making the song sound odd. Big Brother is listening as well as watching.

	This quiz really says something about my musical taste. I was born in 1992 yet I have most of these on my iPod.

	And everyone says that 80s music is lame!

	Totally guessed for cool it now and got it lol

	So I had finally gotten "We Built This City" out of my skull after taking rockgolf's B-themed quiz. And now it's back. The horror...the horror...

	DashDixon:	Dec 19th, 2011 at 04:10 GMT		0 points
	Most of these are Bad 80's...Simple Minds and (maybe) Tears for Fears being the exception(s)..."Easy Lover" and "We Built This City" are two of the worst songs ever recorded, IMO.

	80s music rocks!!

	I got 19 right. Never heard of the last one. 1985 was a very bittersweet year for me.

	Madonna was not like a virgin in 1985.
