Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was
And from then it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit
And everything's alright

Johnny told his mama
Hey, mama I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday
Mama came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, don't cry, mama
Smile and wave goodbye
Don't you know, yeah, yeah

This has been a test of your "Child of the 80s" status. :-)

:o) Oh I am sure there is one out there!

Scary isn't it?

Another useless internet quiz! I'm sure it wouldn't be too tough to put one together, just a simple percentage of "how many of these things do you recognize?" Questions like, "Who is Optimus Prime?" comes to mind...

What?....Those transformer thingies!? hehe

Some acid-washed jeans and a pair of leg warmers, perhaps?

OK, you've awakened a child of the 80's. Name the female co-host of Real People. What logo was on the lead guitarist's shirt in the Billy Squier video In the Dark? To whom is The Cars lead singer still married to? When did Deion Sanders graduated from high School? Who sang Fame? Who is Judy Blume? Did Johnny Carson retire in the 80's? Who wrote 1984? Jim Fixx wrote how many popular running books? He also wrote another book earlier that was totally unrelated to running; what was the topic? What was the MTV dance show called in 1988? Anne McCaffery wrote about what? Where is Amityville? What is the first Egg Wave in Joust? I'll think of more...

Ok...lets see....

I know I can answer a few of these.

Here goes...

Name the female co-host of Real People. That would be Sarah Purcell

What logo was on the lead guitarist's shirt in the Billy Squier video In the Dark? This question drives me crazy because I have seen that video a million times and can't remember for the life of me!!

To whom is The Cars lead singer still married to? Paulina, the model

When did Deion Sanders graduated from high School? 1980...(I think)

Who sang Fame? I wanna say Irene Cara but I am not sure!

Who is Judy Blume? I think she is an Author

Did Johnny Carson retire in the 80's? Yes, I am pretty sure he did

Who wrote 1984? Orsen Wells I believe

Jim Fixx wrote how many popular running books? 1, he died didn't he?

He also wrote another book earlier that was totally unrelated to running; what was the
topic? No Clue

What was the MTV dance show called in 1988? Club MTV I think

Anne McCaffery wrote about what? Science Fiction

Where is Amityville? New York

What is the first Egg Wave in Joust? A bird or an ostrich?? LOL!

So how many did I get right? hehe Ahhhh....My brain hurts! :o)~

You did well. I admit I don't know the answer to one of my questions, but here are the rest of the answers:

1. Sarah Purcell, right!
2. The Brazil symbol, white shirt, yellow and green sideways diamond
3. Paulina Porizkova, right!
4. 1985, same as me
5. Irene is right!
6. Author is right!
7. No, 1991
8. George Orwell
9. 2 books, red cover red shoe, blue cover, blue shoe (yes, he died of heart trouble)
10. Brain teasers for the super-intelligent
11. This is the one I can't remember, but I watched it everyday, summer '88. Same year as Yo! MTV Raps.
12. I spelled her name wrong. Fantasy books centering on dragons.
13. New York, right!
14. Joust, a video game where knights joust atop ostriches. The Egg Wave was the fifth (and 10th, 15th,...) level which allowed you to scoop up eggs unchallenged for points.

So, you got 5 or 6 depending on the MTV question. Thanks for playing. Oh, I found this for your enjoyment while trying to find out the MTV question. Have Fun!
