- (FBE) Today, we're going to be playing you
some songs from the '80s, and we'll see how well you know them.
- Oh, okay.
I am not very familiar with the '80s.
- I have no concept of if I know '80s music or not.
Did The Pussycat Dolls exist? Are those '80s?
- When I think '80s, I think Michael Jackson Thriller.
That's about the extent of my knowledge,
so we'll see how this goes.
- Great, I'm going to fail again.
I'll know songs, but I won't know the name of it.
Or I might know the name of it, but I won't know the artist's name.
- Oh, shoot, okay.
I hope I know them.
I know more older things, like The Beatles
and stuff that my parents sort of had me grow up on.
- Yes, oh my gosh. Yes, I'm so excited.
I honestly feel like I belong in the '80s.
I used to wear suspenders and leg warmers
and, you know, windbreakers and neon colors,
so I'm excited.

- I know this song.
♪ (electric guitar solo) ♪
- ♪ I'm gonna watch you bleed ♪
- It's super rocky. I love it.
I love this kind of style of rock
because it just reminds me of all the old classic rock songs
with guitar riffs.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - No.
- "Welcome to the Jungle," but I just don't remember the band.
- "Welcome to the Jungle" by Black Sabbath?
- "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses.
- Guns N' Roses, "Welcome to the Jungle."
- "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses?
- (FBE) This is "Welcome to the Jungle"
by Guns N' Roses. - Guns N' Roses!
Ugggh!
- Yay, okay, I got one.
- It's such a good song. I listen to this a lot.
It just brings, you know, good feels,
good ol' rock n' roll, gool ol' '80s.
- (FBE) So "Welcome to the Jungle" is about Los Angeles.
The lyrics are about the dark side of the city
many people encounter when they are on the pursuit of fame.
- Really? I never knew that.
- I never even looked into the song.
I thought it was always just "welcome to the jungle,"
as like "welcome to some craziness"
but L.A. crazy, it makes sense.
- That makes the song a lot cooler to me.
The craziness that I think people encounter
when they're in L.A., trying to make it big
and that's such a cliche,
but the song kind of captures that chaos.

Artist, have no idea.
- "What's Love Got to Do With It."
I can't think of the artist.
- "What's Love Got to Do With It" by Tina Turner.
- I love this song!
"What's Love Got to Do With It" by Tina Turner.
My mom and my dad both love her.
- (FBE) So this is "What's Love Got to Do With it"
by Tina Turner. - Oh, okay.
I've heard of Tina Turner.
- She's one of those artists that paved the way
for a lot of female artists that we have now, so kudos to her.
- This song actually reminds me of road trips
I used to take when I was younger, just because my mom
would play it so much.
It's one of her favorite songs, and so I grew up listening to it
and it just brings back good feelings.

- No, I don't know this song.
- I do not know the artist, but song is "Maneater."
- It's called "Maneater." I don't know the artist.
- "Maneater" by... this is the part where it gets hard
because they don't say the name of the artist in the song.
- (FBE) So this is "Maneater" by Hall and Oates.
- By who? - Hall and Oates.
- Hall and Oates? Sounds like cereal.
- Hall and Oates?
I don't know what that is.
I never even heard of that name before.
- I love Hall and Oates. They make my dreams come true.
I'm really sad I didn't know this was by them.
It's a very distinct sound that kind of comes from the '80s.
I really like that. I'm digging it.

Either Cyndi Lauper or Madonna?

- (FBE) This is "Love is a Battlefield"
by Pat Benatar. - No way!
- Yes, okay, finally! I got one.
I feel like I always guess songs are Pat Benatar,
and then it's someone else.
- It's one of those songs that pretty much everybody knows,
so when it comes on, it's sort of uniting
and everybody sings it, and it's sort of a power ballad.
- (FBE) So this song plays a big part
in the movie 13 Going on 30.
- Yes, I've definitely seen that before.
- (FBE) Jennifer Garner, who plays an '80s teen
who magically becomes an adult in the 2000's
sings it with some young girls when they are talking about love.
- Yes, I remember that scene vividly.
I remember I loved that they used that song.
- I'm really surprised I didn't recognize that,
but I remember that scene specifically.
- Yes, I love that movie!
They're at the sleepover, jumping on the bed.
Yes, I love that movie.

I've listened to that song over 300 times
and I've never thought to check who sings it.

- This song, I mean, I feel like it's a very legendary hip hop song.
Nowadays, hip hop has sort of an emphasis on the bass
and a beat, whereas hip hop back then in the '80s
was more like what they're speaking about.
- (FBE) So do you know it?
- Um, that's "Straight Outta Compton" by N.W.A.
- "Straight Outta Compton" by N.W.A.
- "Straight Outta Compton," N.W.A., baby!
- (FBE) So can you tell me how you know this song?
- From the movie, Straight Outta Compton.
- Any song that has anything to do with California
is played on our radio at least once a day.
- They were a really progressive rap group at the time.
They had Ice Cube, Dr. Dre.
- N.W.A.'s the best group of men to get together
and rap about some real shit. I love 'em.

I am getting emotional right now, actually, yeah.
