A challenging 80s music quiz!

Original post by sweetadeline

A friend sent me a pretty difficult, but fun, 1980s music quiz! I know that you ladies and gents love the ‘80s. (How many pages is that ‘80s music game thread now?) So, I decided to forward this to you. The idea here is to identify songs and artists using the lyrical bits listed below.

I already know what the answers are, so I’m not going to play, but feel free to ask for help! Also, this is only the first half of the quiz. I’ll send the other half later in the week if anyone is interested. Have fun!

These two are still missing...

16. Electric eyes are everywhere

35. Remember the one we made love to endlessly

And yes, the first one is from Thriller. It's one of the slow songs.

The second one was sung by another member of the Jackson Five!
