1984. Great lyrics but it was also the year that brought us Cisco Systems, Lenovo and Dell computers. 1984 also brought us the Javelin Software Corporation which may not mean a lot to most of you … but at the time they were trail-blazing the world of spreadsheets and even beat Microsoft’s Excel to a ‘Software Product of the Year’ award. 1984 also brought us some ‘memorable’ song lyrics including ” Working in the sun, drinking schnapps, having fun, that’s livin’ alright” from the TV series “Auf Wiedersehen, Pet”.
So begins our 1984 song lyrics quiz which some people have described as “hard”, “very difficult” and “impossible what is the point of it”. Well we weren’t just going to give the answers away because we’d owe you a lot of virtual points which commercially is not good practice. So you win 1 point for naming the song title and 1 point for naming the group or artist. There are 15 lyrics quiz questions below. Good luck!
