I actually ended up getting “Batdance” in an act of desperation, but also wasted a lot of time on ones I thought were sure things like “Purple Rain.”

Nice quiz.

I did awful.
Only got “Kiss” and “When Doves Cry”. Everything else I could think of wasn’t there. – Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret, Manic Monday, Most Beautiful Girl In the World…

Add me to the list of Batdance fist-shakers. I also thought I was so smrt for getting Nothing Compares 2 U. Dangit.

Thanks – glad you’re all enjoying it. This was the original quiz idea I sent to Jason that led to the weeklong gig.

“Manic Monday” peaked at #2. The #1 song that week was “Kiss.”

Batdance got me, too! Crap! I thought for sure I had this one in the bag. Stupid Batman soundtrack. I even tried Manic Monday. He wrote it for The Bangles because he was all about some Susanna Hoffs. (What man wasn’t back then?) Did that ever hit #1?

And sadly, Holly, I remember exactly what Batdance sounded like.

recaptcha: laxative first

Lovely.

Ok, does anybody know how Batdance even sounds?
Because I sure don’t.
Who knew that was a “hit?”

Awesome quiz… I’m in Minnesota, so maybe I had an advantage? My wife and I worked together and got all but Cream. Surprised that Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette, 1999 and others didn’t get to #1.

I figured one of them would be something I didn’t expect, but I never expected Sinead O’Connor’s catalog to come into this. Good quiz!

I thought I was so smart knowing “Nothing Compares 2 U,” but BATDANCE!?I?!

Well played, Mr. Law.
