Ahhhh...the '80s! Big hair, The Brat Pack, breakdancing, valley girls, pastel colors, and parachute pants (you KNOW you had at least one pair ;-). Man! Has it really been that long ago???
But, what I love most about the '80s is....the music! You might love it as well, but how well do you know the LYRICS to music of the '80s? :)
Can you fill in the missing word(s) in the lyrics below? I would suggest printing this page and writing in your answers, or simply write your answers on a piece of paper. (HINT: If you need the reference, the length of a space exactly corresponds to the length of the word that's missing). When finished, you can check your answers in the zipped Word Document file. If you get one or more of the lyrics wrong in a song, it is incorrect. But misspellings are ok, just as long as it's exactly the word you were trying to spell.
I hope you have as much fun with this quiz as I did while making it. Good luck and enjoy this trip down memory lane! =)
