Who Can It Be Now?: The Lyrics Game That Takes You Back to the '80S...One Line at a Time - Softcover

How much of your brain is wasted on memorized song lyrics? You're about to find out in this hysterical, irreverent romp through the decade that gave us Kajagoogoo and A Flock of Seagulls.

Can you guess who sang these immortal lines?

"Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken"

"Oh, Daddy, dear, you know you're still number one"

"I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar"

If you guessed Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper, and the Human League, buy this book now! Welcome to dinner conversation through the next millennium. If you're still scratching your head, do an Angela Lansbury search.

In WHO CAN IT BE NOW? we’ve taken over five hundred '80s lyrics ranging from the sublime ("I said to my reflection, 'Let’s get out of this place'") to the ridiculous ("You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day"), from the sacred ("No saints, no sinners, no devil as well") to the profane (insert your favorite Prince lyric here). Your task: to give the song and the artist for every lyric we throw at you.

In addition to the lyrics and answers, we’ve included an eclectic assortment of bizarre facts, useless trivia, and silly jokes about the artists who made the '80s such a . . . shall we say, "unique" decade for music.

So whether you still cherish your autographed copy of "Rio" or twitch uncontrollably every time someone plays "99 Luftballons" at a party, you’re sure to find the Lyrics Game addictive. Don’t believe us? Wait until you start playing.
