I had to laugh at bit at Himey, who insisted that every other song was Great White. There was no Great White as correct answers. And half the ones he gave, Great White wasn't even a choice. But good try though. I have to admit that I should have put a "Rock Me" in amongst the questions somewhere. I know Himey very well, so I can rib.
NancyGracey, forgive me, but do not buy your answers or rather lack of....if your son is my age, certainly he sang along to these songs. And I know you probably did too. How could you not? I know you "felt the noise". Believe me, your secret is safe with me that after you put the kids down to bed you tuned in to at least one episode of Monster's Ball? (Smile)
Troll missed only one answer! Don't be saying that he lives under a bridge somewhere. He knows his hair! Good job!
But it was only one person that had a perfect score on their test. I can only wonder if they are still perming, teasing and panamining in front of the mirror with their hairbrush. Ok, enough about me.... I am impressed with her hair knowledge.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Hair Band Award goes to Kristy!
Wear your award proud!

12. Can you name the song title of said song above? It was right before you, "Paradise". Man, this song ROCKS! What a love song, if there ever was one. Such emotion and intensity. YOu can just feel the torn heart of Jeff as he rips through this one. Most impressive "ballad". But what I like about it, it is a ballad that jams. If you don't know it, watch it and be impressed.
13. "Here I am , Rock you like a Hurricane"Answer:Scorpions
Footloose- I thought Willard (Chris Penn) was the sweetest thing, wanting to learn to dance all for his woman. At the end, with the prom scene has me off my couch dancing every time. 
Grease- The original. I so wanted to be Sandy (both good and bad girl), if not her then Patty Simcox. I loved that movie. Much of my childhood revolved around that movie. I remember Mrs. Morave dropping me, Michelle, and Debby off at the theater. We would watch it twice. We paid once then ducked in our seats for a second viewing, as instructed my Mrs Morave who was a nurse and worked all night and thus would take us to the movie during the day to occupy us. For real, I counted how many times I saw it, at the theater alone...40 something. Yes. I owe the Theater that was once at Brookwood Mall some cash.
The Wizard of Oz- This came on annually around Halloween. I couldn't wait. One year I was devastated because it came on Halloween night and I didn't get to watch it. This was before the days of VCR's. If you missed, you had to wait a whole year before it came on again. What did that movie teach me? Really, "There's no place like home!"
Stand by Me-The tag lone said it all: For some, it's the last real taste of innocence, and the first real taste of life. But for everyone, it's the time that memories are made of....This was a salty little movie for what was chalked up as a kids movie. But there were some deep lessons to be learned her. Like losing someone young, before their time, to stand up for yourself, and that no one is guaranteed a tomorrow-or even a good life. What a great movie. Has anyone seen Jerry O'Connell these days? He was the kid that was bullied in the movie for his weight. Today he is still a cutey, albeit much thinner, and married to another cutey, super model Rebecca Romaine.
Coal Miner's Daughter- This is probably my favorite movie of all time. I can still recite it word for word. And most of you know my obsession with Loretta Lynn, thanks to 
The Goonies- A movie about a band of kids from the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, hoping to save their homes from demolition, go on an adventure to find the buried treasure of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary pirate. I loved this movie because it was creative. It craftily had everything in it a kid would want to see or fantasize about: Pirates, scary monsters, genius inventions, kidnappers, treasures, young love, hide and seek. It was great. And many of the scenes were filmed a place that I have been, Haystack Rock. I went when I lived in Portland, Oregon. I recall sea lions covering that rock. I love the part where Chunk befriends Sloth. How touching!
The Outsiders_for a young girl, it was eye candy. It had almost all of the hot up and coming stars. There were fist fights, and attempts to save a girls honor. How romantic. Yes, I did say the Outsiders. For a girl like me, it was all I could ask for and more. Oh, how I cried when "Dally got knocked off my the fuzz".
Airplane-It was a spin off movie that was inspired by and includes various lines of dialogue and references to the 1957 Zero Hour. Wikepedia describes the plot: 
Rocky 1-3- LOOOVVVVEEEDDDD this movie. Great musical scores and who couldn't love at the Sly in this one. "Aide-Ri-Annnn!" Didn't you cry when Mickey died?
Jaws- It scared me outta the water as it did most Americans. Even today, when I go in to the ocean, which I love so dearly and passionately, I do confess to hear the Jaws music playing in my head. Clearly I need therapy. But I will bet that today, with the recent shark attacks and media frenzy, it goes through many people's head. Why did Roy Snider have to pass? I know he would know how to control this frenzy.
The Breakfast Club- If you missed this movie, clearly you didn't grow up in the 80's. Another classic (as all are on this list). This one was about five teenagers (each representing a different clique in high school) as they spend a Saturday in detention together and come to realize that they are all deeper than their respective stereotypes. 
Urban Cowboy- This was another movie that I could recite word for word. And it was cool, remember those little license plates of love in the back of that truck window. What Sissy and Bud had was real love, forget that she was a horrible housekeeper, that he slept with someone else to make her jealous, that she rode the mechanical bull to make him jealous...Sissy tries to go to bed with Wes, but stops before doing anything....it all came together at the end when they danced in the dance competition and Sissy and Bud made up and that plate went back up in the truck window. Every time I hear Johnny Lee's Lookin' for love and Mickey Gilley's Stand By Me, I can't help but think of Sissy and Bud and their luvvv.
Smokey and the Bandit- "Taking cover in the Rocking Chair, got a smokey on my tail"..... CB's were cool then. I remember when my mother got one and my friends and I would most certainly irritate many a trucker with the slang, "Breaker, breaker one nine? Come back?" It was the days when Burt Reynolds was cool-a real man (not weird and had a fake face as he does today), Sally Field was adorable, and Jerry Reed was the best (and still is, Big Daddy and I are H-U-G-E fans!!!)
