Summary: Fun & Nostalgic Trip Back to the '80s
Review: If my review title makes you scratch your head and say to yourself, "hmmm, where do I know that from?", you should really buy this book. (It's from Styx.) Anyway, this book is a little tongue in cheek, obviously, but it does more than just make fun of Tommy Tutone, Bananarama, The Human League, songs like 867-5309 Jenny, etc. It has dozens of little quizzes, where you see the lines from songs on one page, and then when you flip to the next page you find out the names of the groups that sang them. Interspersed throughout the book are tons of little articles (blurbs, really) about various groups, which tell you, in all likelihood, more than any human would ever want to know about, say, Spandau Ballet. But it's still a good book. I recommend the living daylights out of this one, it's hilarious, especially at parties.

Summary: Great book. It has become a obsession.
Review: The book takes a witty, humorous, and unprecedented look at the "wishy-washy" Eighties. Not only will the lyrics intrigue you, but so will the lesser known side facts about some of the artists that Frank and Pete offer. For example, I did not realize that Courtney Cox was the girl on stage during the video for Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark". The book is a very easy read and fun for hours. I found myself obsessing over the lyric game. It's a definite "must have"!

Summary: A well-worth trip back to the 80's.
Review: This book brought back memories of some great times. I love the many references to "Proctor" from the Police Academy movies. I forgot what bumbling idiots those Police Academy characters were!!!
