Some were easy; others were more obscure. Some good memories.

I got 7 out of 15.
Guess I’m not an 80s expert.
I grew up in the 2000s, but I’ve heard of a few 80s songs, I wish more of the ones I know and heard were in this quiz.
The easiest one to guess for me was Girls just wanna have fun.
Could never forget that opening line.
