For all you born AFTER the 80s. You know these, cause these are CLASSICS. Now, in the 90s or 2000s there's so many less songs that last even a year. You won't know them at all, but you know these. Think about it.

Is there an 80's 1 hit wonder. Soft Cell would qualify - must be referring to their brain.

Replace Soft Cell - Tainted Blood with Go-Go's. HUGE in the 80's, as well as Billy Idol, Def Leppard and a slew of others!

So true, Def Leppard is my favorite band, but add Queen, Van Halen, Genisis, and Surivor.

I spelled McFerrin wrong. Kept trying different spellings: "Bobbie" McFaren, McFarren, and nothing worked.
