10 questions 80s songs raised, but never answered

Aug 11 2009 Published by Joey Alarilla under Pop Culture

If you grew up on 80s music like I did, then you know most (if not all) of these songs, and might also be wondering about the questions their lyrics raised, but never quite answered.

Now, I just made up this list for fun, and I don’t know if somebody has already done this — heck, with all the stuff on the Net, probably someone has.

Here’s the list I made off the top of my head, along with clips of the songs that I found on YouTube.

10 Questions 80s Songs Raised, But Never Answered

1. Is there something I should know? Please, PLEASE tell me now.

2. What exactly are enveloped ideas?

3. Why doesn’t the first cut hurt at all?

4. Well, do you or don’t you?

5. Did Billy ever lose Phil’s number?

6. So who DID drive you home tonight?

7. Where can I find the place where the streets have no name?

8. Would you rather have blue or sugar kisses?

9. What’s so special about the B-O-P-G-I-R-L if she bop, he bop, a-we bop, I bop, you bop, a-they bop?

10. So, who’s his daddy?

    Nice list. I, too, always wondered who fathered Billy Jean’s son. My questions, literlly, at least for now —
    what’s love got to do with it?
    who can it be now? who can it be knocking at my door?
    what’s going on? (cyndi lauper’s)
    what is love anyway?
