some of these '80s songs. - Cool.
Probably not gonna be successful.
- I hope I do well. (laughing)
I think I'm gonna do okay.
- I like coming here and sitting down and listening to '80s music
because I always get introduced to some new stuff.
- I grew up around a lot of '80s music.
My parents played a lot.
I just didn't know the artist or the name.
- Hell yes!
Is it '80s pop or rock?
If it's rock, I will get every single one of them.
If it's not rock, it's up in the air.
- I think I'm gonna do good.
I always set the bar high for myself.

- "Lose Your Love," Rush?
- "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" by Mötley Crüe?
- "Lose Your Love" by... it sounds like Sting's voice,
but not with The Police backing the music.
- (FBE) This is called "Your Love" by The Outfield.
- By The Outfield.
"Your Love" by The Outfield.
I've never heard of that band.
- Yeah, I've never heard of The Outfield.

so I'll hear it blasting in the kitchen for eight days in a row,

- "I Need a Hero."
No clue on the name.
- "Hero" by Tina Turner?
- "I Need a Hero" by Madonna?
- "Holding Out For..."-- something with "Hero."
I want to say Cyndi Lauper, but I feel like that's incorrect.
- (FBE) This is "Holding Out For a Hero"
by Bonnie Tyler. - Is it really?
It doesn't sound like her.
- My mom is gonna kill me!
Oh my god.
- Don't get upset.
The reason I know this song is because of Shrek 2.
- (FBE) This song was originally written
and released for the soundtrack of Footloose in 1984.
It can also be heard as a cover song in Shrek 2.
- I'm more disappointed that I didn't know that
than that I didn't know the artist.
- That's probably where I know it from,
to be honest.
- Yep! (laughing)
I think he's riding Donkey when he's a horse,
and then the giant gingerbread man falls into the moat.
Oh, that scene broke my heart.
Oh man, see, the '80s had some good shit.

I don't think I've ever heard this song.
I don't know-- the only band that comes to mind is Foreigner.
- They sound kinda like KISS.
I don't ever remember hearing this.
I'm gonna guess it's KISS, though.
- (FBE) This is "Lick It Up" by KISS.
- Okay, I know KISS.
I don't think I've ever heard this song, though.
- My KISS knowledge is not extensive.
I don't think this is one of the few songs
that I know.
- KISS is [bleep] awesome.
I can't remember a lot of their song names,
but they're sick.
- (FBE) Here are two photos of KISS,
with and without their signature makeup.
In 1983 with the release of "Lick It Up,"
KISS did their first music video without makeup to prove
that they could cut it on music alone.
- I mean, they look like rock stars both ways.
- They belong this way.
This is what KISS is.
- That's so cool.
I feel like I've only seen them with their makeup on.
- That's kinda cool because, I mean, when you think of KISS,
you think of these guys right here with all their makeup
and stuff like that.
- Gimmicks are one thing, but music is what
you're really going for, so that's what you want to have
most important-- when I think of KISS, I think of the face makeup
and all wacky stuff.
They would want me to be like, "Yeah, I love their music."

It's by Belinda Carlisle.
She was originally the lead singer of The Go-Go's.

And I've heard this song before.
I just didn't know who it was.
- That song is classic.
I've heard it all the time.
I totally thought that song came out of the '90s, though.
- I love it and it has that kind of beat
that just makes you want to salsa.
It makes you want to dance.

the highest amount ever won by one person in a single year.

That guy-- musical genius, he is.
- When he died, he died being the King of Pop
for a reason, because he was so good at what he did.
