'80s Song Quiz

u got the floor tom

 

My apologies! I meant to find something at work tonite, but was busier than normal. Now I gotta find an 80s tune...

 

Folks, I'm gonna bow out of this one. My frame of reference isn't necessarily ordered by decade, so I can't pull an 80's tune out like that. Rather than waste anyone else's time waiting for me to identify a proper tune, someone else can take the quiz.

My apologies for the delay.

 

Any 80's fans want to revive this quiz?

 

ok, try this:
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

 

It's definately familiar, but I can't place it. :-?

 

pink floyd with "learning to fly"

 

That's why it was familiar!

 

well, lets get this quiz going on can't wait forever to the conformation of Me262 (google gives me all the confermation i need )
try this one

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited till the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.


fans of nightwish have the advantache

 

Well, its 'Over the Hills and Far Away' by Gary Moore

 

The first bit fits exactly to what I remember of the tune of Whisky in the Jar, but I first heard it by Thin Lizzy

 

idd notmi, your on. :smok:

 

Now a bit harder...

Enses requirimus saevos nos,
nos ferrei reges servi fati,
morta ex terra mortiferra tela
in hostes bello ad moventes.
Equos frenamus furentes
Capi ta superba quatientes
mortem hostibus et luctem date
acrem di manes sternadis.
Ave Nevis, ave ferrum,
Ave tela, ave cruor
Ave pugna, ave moritur.
Skylon!

 

is there a priest in the house for the translating

i make a wild guess: Pope John Paul the 2nd, his greatest hits

 

a very wild guess: enigma

 

Nope. That 'song' can be found from soundtrack of one of 80's movies.

 

Main character was played by 'The Governator'.

 

Terminator? Wasn't Skylon the name of the company?

 

No, not Terminator. In terminator that company was Cyberdyne and computer was Skynet.

 

another famous arnold movie from the 80's was "Conan the barbarian" but i just can't find out what kind of songs they played in that movie. and who said that you can find anything on the net :-?
