Jane's "79 Lines from 80's Songs"
(The Alterno-Version)
"Tonight we're gonna party like it's1699"
I'm going to give you a line in an alternative song from the 80's
and you get to figure out the song (and the artist, if yer a real keener).
This is purely for your entertainment (i.e. You don't win Turtle Wax or Rice-a-Roni)
but can be copied and shared amongst your friends, if you really have
nothing better to do with your time.
