80 Questions about the 80s.

[NikDC]

I found a site with 80 questions about the 80s. How about something on topic again? I'll post 'em 5 at a time and when we get all five, the next five can go up.

1. What was the British equivalent of "We Are The World?"

2. Name six members of the Brat Back

3. What Liverpool band popularized the Doors' "People Are Strange?" in the 80's?

4. Who had the trademark saying "Nanoo Nanoo?"

5. What was the original name of Duran Duran?


Copyright 1995-2002, by Charles R. Grosvenor Jr.

[iggy]

1. Band Aid...Feed The World

[iggy]

2. Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall (or Robert Downey Jr.)

4. Mork

[NikDC]

Robert Downey, Jr., according to the key, not considered Brat Pack. Anyone else want to pick up the last two?

Yay on the others.

[MerrySunshine]

#3, I believe, was Echo and the Bunnymen . . . .

I can't believe that I can't remember Duran Duran's original name. :o This is going to drive me nuts until I remember!

[MerrySunshine]

How I wish a fellow Durannie would appear . . . . I seem to remember that Nick and John started the band/a band originally and that band's name was some initials. Let's face it, I didn't pay all that close attention to the articles in TigerBeat, only the photos. ;) :p

[vester]

2. Judd Nelson and Demi Moore?

[MerrySunshine]

I'm betting that v's right on those. St. Elmo's Fire.

[Diva4230]

2-Mare Winningham

[vester]

You know I also typed Judd Hirsch :rolleyes:

And this is what I found about Duran Duran:

Duran Duran's original name is Duran Duran. John and Nick allegedly performed under the moniker RAF (which means Royal Air Force), but this "band" did not include any of Duran Duran's first-album line-up. The name Duran Duran is taken from the film Barbarella starring Jane Fonda.

[MerrySunshine]

Fie! Ssssssss!

A trick question! ;)

[NikDC]

Excellent, V. Getting them both right.
And Mer for the Echo and the Bunnymen.

Next 5...

6. What was the name of ET's favorite candy?

7. What did people desperately tried to avoid getting on "Press Your Luck?"

8, Name any of the Newberry Award Winning books from the 80s.

9. Who was the leader of the Transformers?
and the Decepticons?

10. Where did the Superfriends congregate and watch the latest happenings on a big screen TV?

[MerrySunshine]

Hey, what about my Echo and the Bunnymen! :(

6. Reese's Pieces
7. "Big Money, No Whammies"
8. Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (this is just a guess)
10. The Hall of Justice

[NikDC]

6, 7, and 10 are worth a point. 8 not so much.

And of course, I wouldn't ignore that answer *thanks to the edit button*

[Short Chris]

#8 - The Polar Express?

[NikDC]

Chris, so very close. The Polar Express is indeed an award winner but it won the Caldecott Medal for children's picture book in 1986. The Newberry would be more young adult.

*Hint: at least two that I know of were made into movies--think Hallmark Hall of Fame*

[MerrySunshine]

Sarah Plain and Tall is the only Hallmark Hall of Fame movie I can think of, and I don't think that's a Newberry book. ;)

How about Are You There God It's Me Margaret? (Another guess, but hey! Even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. :p)

[kentuckychic]

Anne of Green Gables?

[MerrySunshine]

I just did the google search cheat on the Newberry Awards and I can't believe what I saw on that list! :o LOL!

[vester]

Sarah Plain and Tall was all I could think of too Mer.
With Glenn Close.

[iggy]

9. Optimus Prime was the Autobot leader and Megatron led the Decepticons

[NikDC]

And Sarah, Plain and Tall is a correct answer- 1986. Jacob Have I Loved was another that I remember seeing the movie of and reading the book. It was 1981. The Westing Game from '79 is also another GREAT book if you haven't read it. Oddly enough, Ky, Anne isn't on that list. I guess it was written before Newberrys started in the 40s?

And iggy is right on our non-literary question.

[NikDC]

11. What group did New Order evolve from?

12. What were the names of Kevin's best friend and girl friend on "The Wonder Years?"

13. What was the name of the mechanical animal (dog/bear)thingy on Battlestar Galactica?

14. What commercial was Michael Jackson singing for when his hair caught on fire?

15. Who was the 4th child on "Growing Pains?"

[MerrySunshine]

on # 1 I wanna say Joy Division . . . .

[Red50]

12. Paul & Winnie(y?)

[NikDC]

Very nice to both Red and Mer. (and "ie" is right, Red.)

[MerrySunshine]

14 is Pepsi.

re: Sarah Plain and Tall -- I was just joking, trying to be flip and there I go with the correct answer. :o Heh.

[NikDC]

Yes, it was Pepsi.

I can't believe no one knows the name of the Cousin Oliver of Growing Pains...

[kentuckychic]

Chrissy

[NikDC]

And wham! ky nails it.

Last one in this set is the bear-dog from BS....anyone? Hint: the animal was called a dagget and it's name is close to what a rich woman might name her poodle.

[ellenmed]

Fifi :confused:

[MerrySunshine]

Buffy? Muffy? Sweetums?

No really, I think it's Buffy or Muffy . . . seems right, somehow. :o

[iggy]

Muffett not sure of spelling

[NikDC]

Muffett it is. Actually, Muffett 2 but who other than the BS people are counting...

Next round.

16. Name 3 Strawberry Shortcake characters and their pets (besides Strawberry Shortcake)

17. What, according to GI Joe, was "Half the battle"?

18. What was the name of the Bjork-fronted 80's band?

19. Who lamented about "No chocolate-covered candy hearts to give away and no wedding Saturday within the month of June"?

20. What famous Wham! frontman went on to record a multiplatinum record in 1987?

[MerrySunshine]

17. Knowing
18. the Sugarcubes
19. Stevie Wonder

[insearchofjason]

20. George Michael?

Nikki... I can't name Strawberry Shortcake's pets!

[MerrySunshine]

Yeah, that's killing me here too, ISOJ. PETS!?

I remember that the evil pie guy, whatever his name was, had a crow, I think.

My favorite was Blueberry Muffin. :D

[NikDC]

Okay, no pets. I'll take just characters.

[iggy]

Huckleberry Pie, Fig Boot, Sour Grapes

can't think of any others at all

[NikDC]

Rahaha. Fig boot.

Must not laugh at valiant attempts...

[NikDC]

I rescind my raucous laughter. There apparently is a little purple dinosaur named Fig Boots. Point iggy.

[iggy]

Fig Boot was most definitely a character...he was the little dinosaur thing that looked like it made big scary footprints but it was actually the shape of his tail and butt as he hopped around. Why do I retain such information?

[NikDC]

Among others, I would have also accepted: Strawberry Shortcake w/Custard Cat *
*2. Apple Dumplin w/ Tea Time Turtle *Originally had hard plastic turtle
*3. Huckleberry Pie w/ Pupcake *
*4. Blueberry Muffin w/ Cheesecake mouse *
*5. Raspberry Tart w/ Rhubarb monkey *

[ellenmed]

[iggy]

and too good, admit it

[vester]

23. The cousin's name was Balki wasn't it?

[NikDC]

Yes it was. Balky Bartokomous (my apologies to all Greeks; I just sounded it out.)

Still looking for 21.

[iggy]

was he Raymond or was that Tom Cruise?

[Red50]

Raymond

[ellenmed]

Nah, just fast.
:p

[Diva4230]

Dustin was indeed Raymond..

I never noticed how appropriate my avatar is for me until now.. I know I'm always a day late and a dollar short but dang, this thread really proves that I am indeed, Little Miss Late.. :p

[Cali_1]

Tom Cruise was Charlie........the Babbitt Brothers.

[NikDC]

And that's why it was chosen... ;)

[insearchofjason]

31. Shrinky Dinks! (LJ has them!)

[iggy]

sorry ISOJ...guess you didn't have time to go research all the answers via search engine

I don't think you're ready for this jelly

[insearchofjason]

32. Poison, Whitesnake, Def Leoppard?

What makes them "glam"?

[Diva4230]

31-Shrinky Dinks

34- Sean Astin played Mikey,Cory Feldman played Mouth and damnit.. Can't think of anyone else.

[insearchofjason]

Search engines... bahhhh

Obviously I didn't have time for www.dictionary.com on that last one.

[NikDC]

Glam: "Hair metal" from the eighties, mainly due to image. While almost always razor-sharp in riffs and production, occasionally simplistic in musical format. Topics quite often top out with girls, sex, and money. Despite all of this (or perhaps because of it?), still given a bad rap--there is a lot of splendid metal that arose from this genre"

[insearchofjason]

Enough already... did I get it right?

[ellenmed]

Poison, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister

[NikDC]

I will accept all of those. Possible answers would also have been: Babylon A.D.
Bon Jovi
Lizzy Borden
Britny Fox
Bulletboys
Cinderella
Enuff Z'Nuff
Faster Pussycat
Motley Crue
Poison
Shark Island
Shotgun Messiah
Shy England
Slaughter
Stryper
Warrant
Winger
XYZ
Dokken
Ratt
Skid Row
Vinnie Vincent Invasion

[MerrySunshine]

Martha Plimpton was in Goonie, but I don't remember the name of her character . . . .

[Diva4230]

She played Stef.. I think that was her at least.

[NikDC]

Bingo. Other possible choices were:
Josh Brolin .... Brandon 'Brand' Walsh
Jeff Cohen .... Lawrence 'Chunk' Cohen
Kerri Green .... Andrea 'Andy' Carmichael
Jonathan Ke Quan .... Richard 'Data' Wang (as Ke Huy Quan)

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/2279/goonstuff/gooncast.jpg

40. What actor mouthed the line "Whatch you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

[MerrySunshine]

36. Inky, Blink, Pinky, and Spike?

[MerrySunshine]

39. The car was Kit . . . the boss was . . . er . . . . I got nuthin. :o

[NikDC]

One of those 4 is incorrect.

[Diva4230]

36-I can name 2 pinky and blinky..Oooh I think Clyde was one too..

37-The Littles

38-Mr.Robinsons Neighborhood

and 40-Well, Gary Coleman

[MerrySunshine]

Clyde! That's it! :D Good call!

[Red50]

39. KITT and Devan Miles

[NikDC]

All right, though anyone want to say what KITT stood for?

We'll do the other half tomorrow.

[Red50]

Knight Industries Two Thousand

[SummerB]

Where has this thread been all my life and how come today of all days I was away from my computer at work?

Anyone see the new Trivial Persuit that came out with new questions for our generation?

[Kevychick83]

Crap. A question about Duran Duran and I missed getting to answer it. Phooey.

[Diva4230]

How sad is it that in the 4 hours I took to go out with a friend do a little shopping and have some dinner, I was afraid I'd miss more questions..

Is there an LD 12 step program? Because I think I need it..

[NikDC]

Summer, that would be a heck of an idea. Someone needs to get that game so we can play one big game of Trivial Pursuit 80s style.

And Red was right on Knight Industries Two Thousand.

Next set:

41. Who played Axel Foley's best friend in Detroit?

42. What was the name of the funky van Scooby Doo and friends rode in?

43. To what does the obscure song "Turning Japanese" refer?

45. Which band had members Robert palmer, Andy and John Taylor, and Tony Thompson?

[Red50]

41. Paul Reiser
42. Mystery Machine

[iggy]

43. masturbation or smoking up...can't remember which
44. Tiffany
45. Power Station

[MerrySunshine]

I think Turning Japanese is a British euphemism for orgasm . . . .

[vester]

43. Celibacy?

[NikDC]

The correct answer for 43 is in fact masturbation, according to the answer key. News to me.

According to one article : "Over in the States, "Turning Japanese" was deciphered as a paen to masturbation - more specifically the Oriantal[sic] - looking facial distortions one pulls in the moment of climax (so I'm reliably informed). Fenton is characteristically reticent on such matters. "It means whatever you want it to mean," he says, before admitting: "I wrote it as a love song. But when I went to America everyone said to me, "Is it about wanking?" In interviews, I'd say alternatively, "Yes it is", and "No, it's not". It could be about a lot of things. I just woke up with that phrase in my head. It's just an image which captures what that song was all about. But, no it wasn't intended to be about wanking at the time. What surprised me was that the Americans thought it was an English phrase!""

The other answers are all correct.

[iggy]

wanking...does everything sound classy with a british accent?

[NikDC]

46. What were the names of all five Huxtable kids on "The Cosby Show?" and the actors who played them?

[kentuckychic]

49. Lean on Me

[insearchofjason]

46. Rudy, Theo, Vanessa, Denise, damn... who am I missing? I just saw a Cosby Show special on TV last night!

[kentuckychic]

Sonja.

The only actor names that I know are Tempest Bledsoe and Malcom Jamal Warner.

Lisa Bonet. What was Rudy's name?

[insearchofjason]

THANK YOU! I knew it started with an "S". She was never around.

Everyone in the 80's forum knows Tempest Bledsoe... ;)

[kentuckychic]

Keesha Knight Pulliam

[MerrySunshine]

Malcolm Jamaal Warner

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't read ky's post all the way through . . . Silly Mer. :rolleyes:

[insearchofjason]

Rudy has grown up to be quite the poster child for brains AND beauty. Wow.

[NikDC]

We're still missing the name of the oldest daughter and the actress who played her...ky was close but not quite there.

Also 50. The rest are correct!

[insearchofjason]

Dammit, KY was right... it's Sonja.

Nikki, I don't know WHERE you get YOUR information from... ;)

[insearchofjason]

OK, Sondra... and her name was Sabrina LeBeauf.

Moving right along.

(KY, I still think she was Sonja)

[NikDC]

Cheaters never prosper.

[iggy]

I didn't think it looked right, but I couldn't tell if I was mixing my Cosby and 227 trivia together.

[kentuckychic]

I knew that.....I was just seeing how close Nikki was paying attention to the answers. ;)

Why is it that I'm just now noticing that the winky smiley face is actually winking. Have I mentioned lately that I live under a rock? Okay, now I see that it only winks in the message icon and not in the actual post. Moving right along.....someone answer 50 so we can get some new questions. :D

[insearchofjason]

The new smiley faces on yahoo messenger are now animated. It's totally distracting.

[MerrySunshine]

I wasn't allowed to go see Alien back then. And have had no desire to since I started making my own rule. :o Someone else have more permissive parents than moi?

[iggy]

I saw it when I was young so I had to cheat:

Nostromo

[NikDC]

Once again, I do not endorse cheating.

I will now be looking for the name of the planet they landed on in Alien. :p

[insearchofjason]

Oh, OK miss "I'll be your lifeline because I have high-speed internet access"... :rolleyes:

[MerrySunshine]

Mars

Educational Note: All planets that are not Earth are henceforth known as "Mars." Of course, this still makes me wrong if the answer is, actually, "Earth."

[NikDC]

I qualify my statement. There's a time and place for cheating....like when you're the sole person responsible for an answer and money rides on it.

That said besides the fact that I was your lifeline because I know everything already :rolleyes:

[ellenmed]

ISOJ, I like the new yahoo messenger icon smiley face that does the kissing. Very cute and very distracting too.

More questions please.

[NikDC]

Anyone, planet?

Okay, I'll let people come back and get that one later.

51-Lea Thompson

52-Ok.. Let me see.. "Pretty In Pink", "Sixteen Candels", "Breakfast Club"," Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and I think "Uncle Buck"

54-Ima gonna say Pookie.. That just seems like a good name I guess..

[MerrySunshine]

Uncle Buck is a definite. Good call, Diva. :)

[NikDC]

57. Mushmouth

60. The General Lee

[Diva4230]

56-Mushmouth, or Mooshmouth or somthing mouth..

57-Gargamel or however the frick you spell it..

58-Wiffle ball

[NikDC]

All correct. No one wants to hazard a guess at the singer on Robotech?

[ellenmed]

Was it Gem? :p

[NikDC]

No, but valiant effort, Ellen. :p

[ellenmed]

This is something Mike can answer. I don't know boy cartoons.

[Kevychick83]

Isn't it like Ray or Roy?

[mikecheck]

I got off from work early and the prison is on lockdown... so I have time to answer some questions!

Now... the answer to Nik's Robotech question:

The singer was Min-Mei... but I don't think she died! She was Rick Hunter's fling. All I remember was that Rick's step-brother died. His name is Roy Folker... and his girlfriend was Claudia (the first interracial couple I've seen in Japanese Animation). Does that answe the question?

[NikDC]

Min-Mei WAS what I was looking for, we'll just ignore the fact that she apparently didn't die! Well done, Mike! And YAY for coming around.

Something for the night folks...

61. Name 3 of the original 5 MTV VeeJays

63. Name the 4th original member of Depeche Mode who left the band, formed Yaz, and then went on form a more-lasting group. Vince Clarke

64. What group sang "Come On Eileen"? Dexy's Midnight Runners (blasted mothers...)

[Diva4230]

Just because I want to answer a question, I'll name the 2 VJ's that haven't been named, just to make them feel special.. Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman..

[NikDC]

I'm mightily impressed that y'all came up with the vjs so quickly. :eek:

And the others are right. In fact, "Vince Clarke, after Yaz broke up, went to form The Assembly, which was supposed to have a new guest each time (sort of like the founder of the group The The) The Assembly only had one minor hit titled "Never Never" which starred Fergal Sharkey. Vince Clarke then formed Erasure."


66. Name the two mega-popular bands which got their start on college-radio in Athens, Georgia?

67. What was the name of the two heroic boys in "The Never Ending Story? (one being the warrior and one being the normal boy)

68. So, who shot JR?

66 REM & the B-52's

[Red50]

71. Orko

[iggy]

68. Sue Ellen's siter Kristen
69. lightning/enery sword...not sure of exact term

[NikDC]

Correct on 66, 68, and 70. I'm looking for a more specific name on the sword, and we still need the Never-ending story question.

[MerrySunshine]

67. Normal one was Bastian

[NikDC]

You are correct. Non-normal one?

[MerrySunshine]

Herman. :rolleyes: Just kidding.

Can't remember . . . don't know how Bastian came to me. Just did.

[NikDC]

You didn't hear the Princess calling out "Bastian. Give me a name! BASTIAAAAANNNNNN! I need a name. Bastian, please!"

No, I don't have the entire movie memorized... :rolleyes:

[MerrySunshine]

Oy! Cut us some slack, already! ;) :p

[NikDC]

Okay, clearly we're stumped on this set, so I'll finish it up so we can move along, having given the night crowd a shot at it. Atreyu was the warrior in the Never Ending Story and the Sun Sword was Thundar's sword.

71. What band sang the theme song to "The Breakfast Club?"

72. Name the 4 girls from the "Facts of Life" and their chaperone.

75. Name Buck Rodgers' pal

[iggy]

72. Blair, Tootie, Natalie, Jo, Edna Garrett
74. Mr. Rourke and Tattoo
75. Twiggy (but he wanted to pal around with Wilma)

[NikDC]

You've got 72 and 74 but I'm going to be picky on 75.

[iggy]

Then I'm guessing Twinky instead...I could never understand when he said his name.

[MerrySunshine]

71. Is this referring to Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds?

[NikDC]

Yes, Mer. That's considered to be the theme song.

And Oh, so close, iggy but not quite there. *insert the wmwmw wmwmw noise that the robot used to make*

[iggy]

then I change my anser to Nigel

[MerrySunshine]

73 -- Bauhaus?

[NikDC]

Bauhaus was apparently pre-T.O.T. I'm looking for post-T.O.T.

[MerrySunshine]

Love and Rockets?

[iggy]

Joy Division?

[MerrySunshine]

Joy Division was pre-New Order . . . .

[iggy]

Yeah, just a stab in the gothic dark.

[NikDC]

Love and Rockets it is.

[insearchofjason]

Nikki doesn't budge when it comes to letting things slide.

[iggy]

Great, now I have Alive by Love and Rockets in my head. What a somber tune.

[NikDC]

And I'll spot you Twiki just so we can move on.

76. What was the movie that starred the little furry creatures from "Return of the Jedi"?

77.What was Tom Skerritt's call sign in the movie "Top Gun"?

78. Who got his 100-meter dash gold medal stripped away due to his steroid use in the 1988 Olympics?

79. Who sang "Shattered Dreams" in 1987?

80. Who played Ming of Mongo in "Flash Gordon"?

[ellenmed]

76. Star Wars, Return of the Jedi :confused:

[vester]

78. Ben Johnson. Idiot.
79. Johnny Hates Jazz

[iggy]

80. Max von Sydow

[Cali_1]

77) Viper

[ellenmed]

Is the answer to 76 really supposed to be Gremlins?

[NikDC]

We're good on everything but 76. No, Ellen, not ROTJ or Gremlins. They did have another movie with just the fuzzy things.

[iggy]

Ewok Adventure...didn't even read the original answer.

[ellenmed]

I don't remember that movie. :rolleyes:

[iggy]

It was just on TV. ABC, I think.

[NikDC]

I gave you Twiki, but I will not accept Ewok Adventure. A girl's gotta have standards.

[vester]

The Battle For Endor. But I cheated. :(

And there was a movie called the Ewok Adventure.

[ellenmed]

This was an actual movie, Nik? I remember the book, but no movie about the Ewoks. Must have been a limited edition flick.

[Sinister]

Yep, it was a TV movie, I remember that.

[iggy]

The Battle for Endor seems like an Ewok Adventure. Can't blame an iggy for paraphrasing.

[NikDC]

Battle for Endor is correct and what I was looking for so we're done unless people want bonus questions.

[MerrySunshine]

Bring on the Bonus Round!

What's the prize? A honey-baked ham? Washer and dryer? Year's supply of Turtle Wax (which for me would be one can of Turtle Wax ;) )?

[iggy]

I would need many more turtles to make a year's supply cost effective.

[NikDC]

All of a sudden I feel like Monty Hall...

Will it be a trip for 2 to Acapulco, a box of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat, or whatever cash happens to be in the envelope in my hand?



Bonus questions:

1. What was Club Nouveu originally known as?

2. What Nena's very minor hit follow up?

3. The Assembly starred Fergal Sharkey, he was once the lead singer of what band? What solo hit did Fergal Sharkey have a couple years later?

4. On Dallas, what famous movie actor (actual name and his role) did Sue Ellen have an affair with one season?

5. What famous rock star is the leader of Simple Minds married to?

[db44]

Ewok Adventure was first, and these two kids were being helped by Wickett to find their parents, being held hostage by a midget witch and a giant spider.

Battle for Endor was against these big things that looked like the sand skiff guards. All the family was killed except the little cutusey "I wanna be Shirley Temple" girl. At the end she befriends an old dude and his speedy pet/friend and they adopt her and take her off Endor.

Scary, huh?

[MerrySunshine]

#5 Jim Kerr was married Crissy Hynde of the Pretenders, but I think they're divorced now . . . .

[vester]

They are.
Because then he married Patsy Kensit before she married Liam Gallagher, which she's now divorced/divorcing.
I'm a regular Mary Hart. ;)

[MerrySunshine]

Shot in the dark with #1, but how about Culture Club?

[iggy]

Mary Hart is very irregular.

[MerrySunshine]

She should eat more fibre.

[MerrySunshine]

Answers? Hmmm?

[vester]

I forgot about this.

1. Timex Social Club

Nena? Nena? I can't think ... was that 99 Luftballoons? Or was it that other spacey chick?

[NikDC]

5 is right.
Timex Social Club is right.
V, I'm looking for the followup to 99 Luftballoons

[Short Chris]

Was it 88 Volkswagons?

[vester]

bahahahaha, that was funny X.

I got it!!!! Feargal Sharkey's song was "A Good Heart" wasn't it? It's been driving me crazy.
A good heart these days is hard to find
something something something the lasting kind?

[iggy]

I so wanted to say Timex Social Club and sang Rumors outloud every time I read the question.

Be one with the truth, grasshopper.

[NikDC]

V is hot. Yes, it IS A Good Heart.

Chris, *makes loud buzzing sound a la Family Feud*

[insearchofjason]

Oh, are we still answering questions?

*looks at ceiling*
