– (singing along)
♪ Who you gonna call? ♪ – (singing along) ♪ Ghostbusters ♪ – This will forever be a classic. ♪ (upbeat intro) ♪ – (FBE) We have some awesome
’80s songs for you today. We’re gonna see
how well you know them. – Oh my god.
I’m so excited. I love these.
These are my favorite. – I’m excited. I did a “Do They Know It?”
to the ’80s music once before, and I did really well. – I know the songs,
but I don’t know anything about the songs. – (wryly) I’m so great at recalling
musicians and naming songs. That’s totally my strong suit. – Not very good with songs.
Not very good with artists. But I do my best,
and I have fun here. That’s what we do. ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪ – ♪ They can beg
and they can plead ♪ ♪ But they can’t see the light ♪
– – ♪ (humming beat) ♪ – ♪ That’s right ♪ – This sounds so familiar. – ♪ …cold hard cash
is always Mister Right ♪ – That’s true. – ♪ ‘Cause we are living… ♪ – (singing along)
♪ …in a material world ♪ – (singing along)
♪ And I am a material girl ♪ – Oh, I love this song! Yes. – (singing along)
♪ …material world ♪ – ♪ And I am a material girl ♪ – Oh! That is such a bop. – (FBE) So do you know this one? – Uh, “Material Girl” by… – “Material Girl.”
Um, artist, I have no idea. – Hmmm, “Material Girl,” Madonna. – “Material Girl” by Madonna? – “Material Girl” by Madonna. – It’s “Material Girl,”
and it’s Madonna. – “Material Girl” by Madonna. – (FBE) This is
“Material Girl” by Madonna. – [Bleep]. I know Madonna. – I love her so much.
She’s an icon in ’80s music. – I think that song’s just– hearing it, it just
sounds like a party. – (FBE) In this music video,
Madonna is dressed like Marilyn Monroe in the number “Diamonds
Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” She actually met
her future husband, Sean Penn, on the set of this music video shoot.
– Oh, that’s nice. She met her material boy. – I knew that but I didn’t know
how they met, so that’s cool. ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪ – ♪ All I know is that to me ♪ ♪ You look like you’re lots of fun ♪ – Oh, this song sounds familiar, too. – (singing along)
♪ Watch out, here I come ♪ – ♪ You spin me right… ♪

the original version of that song. – (FBE) Do you know this one?
– I’ve heard it, but I don’t think I know the title. – “Right ‘Round.”
“Baby You Spin Me.” Maybe one of those? – “You Spin Me Round.”
I don’t know the artist. – (FBE) This is “You Spin Me Round.”
It’s by Dead or Alive. – “Dead or Alive.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them. – I have not heard of that,
but I feel like I need to look them up because that was fun. – (FBE) This song was sampled by
rapper Flo Rida and Kesha on their 2009 number one
single, “Right Round.” – Which is a bop. And I feel like that song
even made this song more popular. – That’s why I’m really confused. The sounds in that original song
are just very different from the version that
I’ve been hearing on the radio. – Oh, wow. That’s a 10 year old song. I’m feeling old. ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪ – ♪ Standin’ on your mama’s porch ♪ ♪ You told me… ♪ – The voice definitely
sounds familiar. – I know I’ve heard it before. – ♪ Oh, and when you held my hand ♪

no idea what this is. – ♪ …it was now or never ♪ ♪ Those were… ♪ – (singing along)
♪ …the best days of my life ♪ Oh, [bleep].
My dad’s gonna get mad if I get this wrong.
Who is it? – ♪ …or never ♪ ♪ Back in the… ♪ – (singing along) ♪ …summer of ’69 ♪ Aah, I love that song! – (FBE) Do you know this song? – Little bits of it sound familiar,
but I don’t think I’ve ever heard this before. – “Summer of ’69,”
but I just can’t think of the artist. – “Summer of ’69.”
Is it The Boss? Is it Bruce Springsteen? – I think the title
of the song is “Summer of ’69.” Is it Bruce Springsteen? – “Summer of ’69” by Bryan Adams? – (FBE) This is
called “Summer of ’69.” It’s by Bryan Adams.
– I have no idea who that is, nor have I ever
heard that song before. – A-HA! I know a name!
I know a name! – I don’t know that I’ve
heard any of his other songs, but that song’s pretty good. ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪ – ♪ It’s not the things you do
that tease and hurt me bad ♪ – I’m picturing coconut shells. – (singing along)
♪ But it’s the way you do… ♪ This is from the Lizzie McGuire movie! – Oh, this song makes me so happy. – ♪ …who gives up just like that ♪ – This song is so familiar! – (singing along) ♪ The tide is high
but I’m holding on ♪ – ♪ I’m gonna be your number one ♪
– (lip syncing) – I feel like I haven’t heard this
since I was really little. – (singing along) ♪ …number one ♪ Aah, who are you?
Who are you? – (FBE) Do you know this song?
– (laughing) Nope! – I don’t know it. – I know I’ve heard it, but i just can’t think
of the title or the artist. – “The Tide is High.”
I don’t know the artist. – “The Tide is High” by Blondie. – (FBE) This is
“The Tide is High” by Blondie. – “Blondie,” okay. I’ve heard of Blondie. – That’s one of those songs
that gets stuck in your head and you’re just gonna be
singing and swaying the whole day. – It just makes me
want to cruise down the PCH along Malibu with
my non-existent convertible with the top down. – (FBE) This was actually
Blondie’s cover of the original song, recorded by the Jamaican group
The Paragons in 1966. The song gained attention
when Blondie’s version became a U.S. and U.K. number one hit.
– That’s interesting. Yeah, I kind of got the reggae
kind of vibe from it. – I like when artists do
their own version of a song and then that just brings
more recognition to the original version of the song
because they’re still two completely separate
different productions, but they’re both awesome. ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪ – ♪ Hello… ♪
– Oh, yes! ♪ Is it me you’re looking for? ♪ – Alex sings this all the time. – ♪ …in your eyes ♪ ♪ I can see it in your smile ♪ – (feigned sobbing) – ♪ You’re all I’ve ever wanted ♪
– Oh, this song is so good! – ♪ …my arms are open wide ♪ ♪ ‘Cause you know just what… ♪ – It’s times like I wish I knew
how to play the piano, so I could just sit down
dramatically and be like… – ♪ And I want to tell you so much ♪ – (singing along) ♪ I love you ♪ – I like it. It’s very slow and kind of romantic. – (FBE) Do you know it?
– No. (laughing) – I could not tell you. – It’s Lionel Richie.
I know that. “Is It Me”? – “Hello” by Lionel Richie. – “Hello” by Lionel Richie. – “Hello” by Lionel Richie? – (FBE) This is “Hello”
by Lionel Richie. – Oh, [bleep]! I like it a lot,
and I like Lionel Richie, too. I guess I don’t like him
as much as I thought I liked him. – My mom used to play this
all the time on car road trips, so I would hear it
over and over again. – I remember hearing this
when I was 10, you know, and just wanting to cry
and I didn’t have anything to cry about.
I didn’t have a broken heart. I was 10. But it’s a good cry,
