I Love the 80s!

Hi and welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick an singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their lyrics. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked I Love the 80s!. The song titles from which we took the lyrics and band are in caps. Here's Rock 'n Roll Fridays!
