I can take a stab and kinda guess some of them:

JJ Jackson
Nina somebody
that blonde guy
the brunette who just didn't seem cool
curly head guy.


How'd I do?

Uh...as far as names, you got 1 1/2. I guess that would be...30 points? 20 for the full one and 10 for the 1/2.

Plus 50 for the video question (although it's the Buggles...but I know what you meant )

 

[apirateslifeforme]

Oh, here, I'll put the answers in white...

Nina somebody - Blackwood
that blonde guy - Alan Hunter
the brunette who just didn't seem cool - Martha Quinn
curly head guy. - Mark Goodman

The '80's are a haze!

1980-1985 = 2 jobs & party
1985-early '87 = taking care of DMom, so work & home
1987-mid 1988 = newlywed & work Hmm...now what was it i was busy with?
1989 = DS born & work part time. Sleep deprived for the next 6 or so years


MTV? all I can remember is Downtown Julie Brown, Cheap Trick,Adam Ant, Twisted Sister & for videos 'Mickey', "I Can't Drive 55", "One Night In Bangkok", "Dance Hall Days"

That's entirely what I recall.

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she goin' be a star.
I don't know, but I've been told
Big legged woman ain't got no soul


Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah

All I ask for, all I pray,
Steady load of woman gonna come my way.
I need a woman gonna hold my hand
tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Ahhhhhh!

Ooooh-ahhhh

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel

-- Rob

 

[RobInBigKC]

Here he comes
Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.

He's gainin' on you so you better look alive.
He's busy revvin' up a powerful Mach 5.

And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer
Will see it through.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!

He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!

Nothin' says " the '80's" like the mullet:

 

[jonestavern]

Down by the Station
Down by the station, early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row
Hear the engine driver pull the little throttle
Chug chug, toot toot, off we go.
