Listen Up 80s Feel Good Quiz

[PaulR]

It does carry over when I copy and paste it but equally I'm very used to "colon" "capital Y". I spend more time getting the capitalisation of words and sorting out dashes and brackets TBH.

Useless fact - the pretty woman running around in her nightwear in the music video is Cindy Harrell - who was in a couple of episodes of early 80s cop series CHiPS

19.
24. - answer is one word but was a bigger hit
+BP for format and +BP for excellent useless fact

Blimey its been YEARS since Ive heard Kissing with Confidence. So I had to go and listen to it on YT.

Useless facts about KwC - Carly Simon is the (uncredited) lead singer & Will Powers (Lynn Goldsmith) used early electronic voice manipulation to sound like a man

22 Down to Earth (Curiosity Killed the Cat) ???
7 The Tide is High (Blondie) ???

+BP +BP another fab fact

3 Young At Heart (Bananarama)
9 Endless Love (Diana Ross & Lionel Richie)

3. - right title but wrong artist... The Bluebells had the chart hit, can't find Bananarama version in the chart

Another useless fact - Young at Heart was originally performed by Bananarama on the album Deep Sea Skiving. It was reworked by the Bluebells in 1984 and for me is a far better version

 

[dxhound2003]

I'll have another go at 9. Together Forever (Rick Astley)

The Bluebells went to number one in 1993 with a reissue of Young at Heart, I didn't read the other information properly.

 

[ozumo]

9. Together Forever (Rick Astley)

9.

I'd give bonus points for these Young at Heart facts but I'd already found them out when checking dxhound's original answer
