7. In the early 80's Teena Marie justed wanted yo be "Your ____girl".

Answer: Lover

"I just want to be your lovergirl! I just want to rock your world!"
As far as I know, the song "Lovergirl" was pretty popular in the 80s. Either that or it was just my house!

8. Teena Marie sang about something being 'behind the groove'; what was it?

Answer: Another side inside of you

"Get behind the groove! and find there's another side inside of you!"
To me behind the groove means that you should let down your guard, and let yourself be free.

Answer: Fire and Desire

The correct answer is "Fire and Desire". That song was popular circa 1970, and it's still getting a lot of radio play today.

10. Can you name the song that goes with this lyric? "You got me tilted, like a pin ball machine".

Answer: It Must Be Magic

The correct answer is "It Must Be Magic". If you like really fun love songs instead of all that mushy, lovie, dovie, "oh baby I want to spend my whole life you" kind of songs, this is the song for you!

11. "I'd quote a _____ on a verse That I read when I was small And write your name out Across the sky in letters ten feet tall

This is the full and correct line. Now this song is a little bit mushy, but it's also very lovely.

12. Name the song that goes with this lyric: "I'm for the real, and for you I'm true blue".

Answer: Lovergirl

The song is "Lovergirl". If you clicked "I Want You", that's actually a Marvin Gaye song.

13. "All These things that I feel, if only you'd come real!"

Answer: Work It

The answer is "Work It". As you know from the info from question 1 Teena Marie was introduced to us via Rick James, and I'm sure many of you know who Rick James is (he sang "Super Freak"). Well anyway, sometime in the late 70's and early 80's he was heavily into drugs, and also had a rape charge against him, but somehow through it all Teena Marie was never associated with all the negative press Rick James received.

14. Which one of these is a line from the song "Casanova Brown"?

Answer: "Who are you to say what he does when I'm not around"

"Who are you to say what he does when I'm not around. Just because I fell in love with Casanova Brown." During the time Rick and Teena were working together, it has been rumored that they had an affair. Teena has confirmed that affair on VH1's "Where Are They Now?". Hmmmm, wonder if she was singing about him in this song? ;)

15. Teena Marie sang about rubbing this to get the love back to how it was.

Answer: Aladdin's Lamp

I wish I had Aladdin's Lamp.
