LOL- I suck...that reminds me. My wife Me, one of my brothers and his were playing trivial pursuit couple weeks ago. I was rocking the house. Instant got 5 right in a row. Everyone thought they were toast. Then I missed the entertainment (E) pink question. I lost, last place, about 25 rounds later never getting that topic right.

You help me next time, deal?😛
 

- Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact

It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu

The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

OR

- Real Life - Send Me An Angel
 
Some excellent choices here, but it's really all about the WANG CHUNG!

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high hand stand
Take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
Chorus:
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there there there
Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
Repeat Chorus
So take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
Repeat Chorus
 
Naked Eyes - There's Always Something There To Remind Me

This song scores very high on the nostalic-o-meter.

Followed by:

The Cars - Drive
Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
A-Ha - Take On Me
Tears for Fears - Everybody wants to rule the world
Toto - Africa

First one that came to mind for me. Damn there was some good music in the 80's.

Of course, I remember the first day MTV was on air too.

Me too. My sister and I were in front of the tube at that magical moment. :heart:

ONE OF OUR SUBMARINES

One of our submarines is missing tonight
Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres
One of our submarines

A hungry heart
To regulate their breathing
One more night
the Winter Boys are freezing in their spam time
The Baltic moon
Along the northern seaboard
And down below
The Winter Boys are waiting for the storm

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Shallow water - channel and tide

And I can trace my history
Down one generation to my home
In one of our submarines
One of our submarines

The red light flicker, sonar weak
Air valves hissing open
Half her pressure blown away
Flounder in the ocean
See the Winter Boys
Drinking heavy water from a stone

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Shallow water - channel and tide
Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Tired illusion drown in the night

And I can trace my history
Down one generation to my home
In one of our submarines
One of our submarines
One of our submarines

One of our submarines is missing tonight
Seems she ran aground on manoeuveres
One of our submarines
