Sinister: '80s Lyrics Quiz Answers

[Essexdog5]

Hey, anyone remember the that kerrrazy '80s lyric quiz I posted a week or so
ago (and got a slap on the wrist about)? Well here are those answers in
(almost) full. If anyone has any comments on this (of the "Huang Chung were
great, weren't they?" variety), please do NOT, I repeat NOT post them to the
list. Well, that's my disclaimer over anyway. Mum, your shredded wheat is
showing!

NB You may notice the occasional alphabetic tendencies of the artists, which
leads me to believe a spot of reference-book scanning may have gone into the
