80's Trivia Question O' Da Day
Kev and I were playing Totally 80's trivial pursuit during lunch (yes, I got thumped - but I was born in 78!! I think I should get a handicap!) and I missed a question that I totally should have gotten. Kev, the 80's trivia king, didn't even know the name of the show, so he had no idea what I was doing when I suddenly broke out into song in the middle of his store . . . . . I remembered the theme song but I absolutely could not come up with the name of the damn show! Then I thought I was getting the theme song confused with the theme from Flash Gordon so I second guessed myself and missed the answer. :(
I was so sure that I knew the theme song to this show, but I wasn't absolutely positive, so, naturally, I looked it up on the net when I got back from lunch. I still maintain that if you can sing the theme song to the TV show but you can't remember the name of the damn show, you should get a point anyway.
Moving on, I just wanted to see if any of you could guess the name of the TV show (from the 80's, obviously) that belongs to the lyrics:
Look at what's happened to me
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world
It should've been somebody else
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me!
Shorty, here's a hint: we had an argument over the theme song of the show at Brewsters one night. Oh, and BTW, I WAS RIGHT! HAH!

Um...I was in love with Ricky...now Rick Schroeder. He is still a sexy bitch and the name of the show of that theme song is SILVER SPOONS. :P
If I'm wrong...just shoot me. Then I won't have to finish microbiology this semester.
You have to shoot your friend.
That's the theme from "The Greatest American Hero".
I forgot to sign my name on that, so you'd know who the genius that solved your riddle was.
What anon said. I feel so dirty for knowing that. Thanks.
Hail the bullets...I suck at trivia apparently. Do you have any questions you'd like answered on pathogenic microorganisms by chance? I could probably do that.:P
What is this 'Greatest American Hero'? Isn't that a Bud Light salute commercial theme song?
Here's one for you...guess this one: Thursday, Friday, Happy Days...
I apparently suck at making up trivia questions, too. :(
Whit, I'm not going to shoot you, but I will sling poo in your general direction!
Scott, you are still my hero, on and off the softball field.
TFG, not only am I unsurprised that you know the answer to my trivia question, I am also not surprised that you feel dirty. However, don't blame that on my innocent trivia question. Your personal hygiene is your own problem - and I've seen what you can do to a pair of boxer shorts and a lab coat! You SHOULD feel dirty!
lindsay just missed a question of "who sang LOVE BITES"!!! holy moly, its DEF LEPPARD SILLY!!!!
First, let me just say that if I'm your hero, you've apparently forgotten which guy on the softball field I was.
Second, I'm deeply offended that you missed a Def Leppard question.
Um, could we try to be a little PC here, people? It's now 'Hearing Impaired Leppard'.
