I know this thread was done for certain before... and I had the same notion to it.

 

Dunno if it was Cyggy though.

I can't remember if I posted this before, but I got the idea after seeing the stuff posted in "Song stuck in your head thread"

Well I found the U2 one pretty quickly, for what it's worth. The rest of the 80s is a little less relevant to me.

Saw one Beastie Boys lyric, went down past 45 and scrolled down to see how many lyrics.

Too many. TOO MANY!

Wow, excuse me for posting this if all you people are gonna do is bitch about it
