Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Shattered Dreams'

Answer: Johnny Hates Jazz

2. 'She Blinded Me with Science'

Answer: Thomas Dolby

3. 'I'm Too Sexy'

Answer: Right Said Fred

Right Said Fred could have had more hits, but they were in a dispute with their manager about their name. He wanted it shortened to RSF, but the guys wouldn't budge. I guess they should have.

4. 'They Don't Know'

Answer: Tracy Ullman

Yes, this was sung by Tracy Ullman, the actress. It was her only hit.

5. 'Somebody's Watching Me'

Answer: Rockwell

Many people believed that this song was recorded by Michael Jackson. He did sing the chorus.

6. '99 Luftballons'

Answer: Nena

The English title of this song is '99 Red Balloons'.

7. 'Informer'

Answer: Snow

Only die hard reggae fans could interpret most of the words to this song. Snow was in jail at the time of this song's release.

8. 'Don't Wanna Fall in Love'

Answer: Jane Child

9. 'Mickey'

Answer: Toni Basil

This song was not supposed to appear on the album, but the producers children talked him into including it. It's a good thing because it was her only hit.

10. '867-5309(Jenny)'

Answer: Tommy Tutone

This was an actual phone number for a groupie named Jenny. She asked the lead singer to give the number to another band member, but instead he wrote this song. She changed her number after that.
