I've got that horrible Oh Sherrie song in my head now. I'd forgotten it ever existed. Cursed memory!

I missed the 8 least guessed, but I take no solace in that fact. I seem to have missed much of the music from the '80s. For me the '80s consisted of raising a family, singing children's songs, and listening to music from the '60s to remind me of when I was young and carefree.

I could not remember Al Jarreau to save my life...I kept thinking Al Green. I remember Jarreau from the Making Of video, where he was talking about how he had "spit flying everywhere" because he was belting out his lines. Couldn't get Green out of my head once he was in there, though...

That's "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid, the British equivalent of "We Are The World."

And let's not forget the We Are Stars song with the hair farmers in pop metal who felt excluded from the celebrity fests. Hear 'N' Aid.

Sting was in on 'do they know it's Christmas' but Elton wasn't, even though he was showing up to every other charity event at the time.
