It's The '80s Music Trivia Challenge....

[d2vasquez]

To help celebrate our "Sixteen Candles" Chick Flicks weekend and chat next week - take a trip down memory lane and let's play a game to see if you remember the songs back then......and I have to tell you I have a digi friend who lurks here but is AWESOME at this game.....so beware!!!

Simply post a few sentences from a song and the next person to post will answer who sang it and then post their own.......I will do an easy one to start it out......and if you weren't born then and want to play - all I can say is "g-o-o-g-l-e".....hehehe

Disclaimer: since some songs can be a bit risque (aka Prince) please refrain from posting any lyrics that will be offensive to anyone.......thanks girls! :)

Here's one:
From one of my fave artists:
"We lay beneath the stars
under a lover's tree
that's seen through the eyes of my mind.
And I reach out for the part
of me that lives in you
that only our two hearts can find."

Aggie's is Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder (that was tough!)

I know it's Wham! - ohh, but what is the name of that song? Ahh, careless whisper :o)

Kinda along the same lines (at least in my mind)

And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun, so your looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

[Laura_A]

To open my eyes
If you kiss me again
