    Inspired by Devon's 90's quiz in the Music forum, I've uploaded a clip, its under a minute long and contains 10 songs (mostly 80's I think). I made this one very easy to get, use spoilers below if you want to. :) See how many you can get.

    I'm probably completely wrong here but for some reason number 8 has either a
    'It's My Life' - Talk Talk
    or
    'Waiting For a Girl Like You' - Foreigner
    sound to it to me. Am I anywhere close, Ruu? :confused:

    No. 7 has me completely stumped, I have to say.

    The other ones I got straight away on first listening were:
    1: 'Dance Hall Days' - Wang Chung
    2: 'Run To You' - Bryan Adams
    4: 'I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight' - Cutting Crew
    5: 'Mr. Vain' - Culture Beat
    6: 'Moonlight Shadow' - Mike Oldfield (always makes me think of Simon Day's 'Dave Angel - Eco Warrior' character from 'The Fast Show' every time I hear this song! :D )

    and

    10: 'Gold' - Spandau Ballet

    One of those is correct for number 8. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,265 ✭✭✭aidan_dunne


    Okay then, Ruu, I'm going to go with my second suggestion of
    'Waiting For a Girl Like You' by Foreigner
    for number 8. Am I right? ;):D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    *ding* Correct, all you have left is 3, 7, 9. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 476 ✭✭Ryaller


    What do I win???
    I'd like a Raleigh Grifter.

    Or some dayglo legwarmers.
