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!
1. If you are the desert, I’ll be the sea 2. It’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand 3. We kiss altogether wrong, no intentions 4. I hear you when you laugh at me woman, I see you when you cry for me 5. I can lock all my doors 6. See the chameleon, lying there in the sun 7. Especially at night, I worry over situations 8. Watch out boy, she’ll chew you up 9. Looks like the whole world’s out of synch 10. And the lights are flashing on your windowsill 11. Chapter two, I think I fell in love with you 12. This doesn’t happen to me every day 13. You take my breath away, love thinks it’s here to stay 14. Storms are brewing in your eyes 15. Now everyone can see my true identity 16. Electric eyes are everywhere 17. Call up ring once hang up the phone 18. I walk along the avenue, I never thought I’d meet a girl like you 19. This is it that’s the end of the joke 20. And in her mouth an amethyst 21. People say, I’m obsessed 22. The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache 23. A simple thought, to occupy my time 24. Who’s gonna plug their ears when you scream? 25. Nations go to war over women like you 26. We always wish for money, we always wish for fame 27. That’s how my love goes 28. All you do is call me, I’ll be anything you need 29. ‘Cause we all have wings, but some of us don’t know why 30. Don’t leave it all behind you, it took so long to find you 31. And so the conversation turned, until the sun went down 32. We never lose a game 33. Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry 34. If it’s love you want from me, then take it away 35. Remember the one we made love to endlessly 36. I feel tragic like I’m Marlon Brando 37. For everything I long to do, no matter where or when or who 38. Another day goes by and all I do is cry 39. Once upon a time, once when you were mine 40. I don’t see any easy way to get out of this 41. Can’t you see I’m burnin’, burnin’ 42. Sucka MCs should call me sire 43.

Re: A challenging 80s music quiz!
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!
