Quiz: Can You Match the Original Song to the ’80s Movie?

Original songs from movies don’t always stay in the movie realm. The artists might release them on their own albums; they might get covered by other artists; they might become radio hits and even nab a Grammy or two.

After a while, you might forget—or maybe you never knew—which movies they came from in the first place. Unless you’re a movie or music buff who would never forget such an important detail.

Prepare to put that knowledge to the test. The quiz below features 15 original songs from 1980s movies. Can you match each song to the correct movie? It’s multiple-choice, so you have a one-in-three shot at guessing correctly.

One note: We give you the song title and the name of the artist(s) who performed it, but those artists aren’t necessarily the songs’ creators. For simplicity’s sake, we haven’t named all the lyricists and musicians involved in that process.
