	This quiz is admittedly pure silliness. It's loosely based on SproutCM's "Almost Countries" quiz, where each answer is the name of a country with one letter changed. I've done pretty much the same thing here, except with song titles from 1985. Why 1985? Well it was exactly 25 years ago, but it may also have been the year where a) video became the prime tool for selling records and b) the US and UK were most in sync on the hit parade. The two are, I believe, connected. The cost of videos were such a new expense that the only way to justify the costs were to get international success. (end of part 1)

	(part 2) The picture above the quiz shows the 16 actual song titles. (But not the actual labels. I just faked those with Paint.) Using the clue, determine which original song title has to have one letter changed to fit the description given in the clue. In each clue I've provided the name of the artist of the original song title, so if you know your 1985 music, you'll be able to determine which song title you have to change. Remember: Only one letter in each song title has to be changed. It could be the first letter, the last or anything in between. It's intended to be just for fun, so don't be disappointed if you can't get them all. Or even one of them.

	(There is no correlation between the location of the label in the picture and the sequence of the clues.)

	"Saving All My Love For You" is shown in the pictures, but "One More Night" is referenced in the questions instead of it.

	@loves2learn: That explains why no one got it! Thanks. Picture replaced.

	This was entertaining to do without looking at the labels. I did get all sixteen, though I was most stalled on the Tina Turner, since I went through (the admittedly inferior answers) "We Don't Need Another Zero" and "What's Lose Got To Do With It" before hitting the right song.

	thought 10 minutes would be too long, did the first 15 in less than 3 minutes and got the last one with seconds to spare. Sat staring at it getting increasingly wound up. Good quiz

	Incredibly creative. Took me a couple minutes to get the hang of it but it was a lot of fun after that. I like that the pictures are there. I could connect songs and artists (eventually) but the quiz would've been impossible for me without the pics. For others who don't need them, they can do it without looking. Very cool quiz.

	I think Cyndi would also be Ill Through The Night, if she can't hold her liquor! You know you have to do a sequel now!
