I think my “permed hair” response could have gone into “big hair.”
Not that it would move me out of the middle of the pack.
ETA: Good theme, 42fish, and, as always, thanks for scoring/running, Dolores!

not really - perms were just curly, sometimes long, but not necessarily big.
“Big” hair was teased and backcombed and sprayed with what amounted to crazy glue in a pretty aerosol can and always looked (to me anyway) like straw
(Melanie Griffith and Joan Cusack in “Working Girl” wore Big Hair)
Ooh I didn’t get dead last!

I don’t know about the leggings v leg warmers issue, but “hyper color” was a type of clothing that changed color in repsonse to heat (so if you pressed your hand against someone’s tshirt, there’d be an outline of your hand in a different color). Unfortunately, the hypercolor effect tended to die off if you washed it at too high a temp.

Weird. I don’t remember that at all.
Great game, thanks!
Y’all answered all the stuff I had to look up! And I agree with anyrose, permed hair does not equal “big hair.”
I don’t remember hypercolor at all.
My personal worst showing! Woo hoo!
My worst score (20) so far, but still above average. I’ve NEVER heard “gag me with a spoon” before. What does that even mean?

which indicates you were likely born in the late 80s or early 90s - The Valley Girl Speech thing surged around '83-'84 and then slowly died off
Cool, fifth. I didn’t think I’d scored that high. I knew i should have gone with “Duran Duran” over “Depeche Mode” and “gag me with a spoon” over “fer sure,” though. “Flock of Seagulls” didn’t even occur to me, duh.
Yikes, down in the bottom ten again. 
Hey I know … maybe if we did a 50s or 60s centric feud? Heh, then there’d probably be too few people who even know the answers. LOL I don’t know … I think I’m going to start working on questions from the 50s and 60s.
Thanks again, Delores Reborn for putting these up and especially for scoring them … even though my scores lately have been in the toilet.

Y’all are very welcome. I really enjoy doing them!
Send me a list of questions, Tarr, or any of you. I only have 2 left.
Oh, and by the way, all you junkies are going to be jonesin’ - next Tuesday I have to have my gall bladder out, and I’ll be out of commission for 24 hours.
But I’ll run what I have until then, and I have an idea for one on Wednesday when I get home. If I feel ok, which I’m sure I’ll be fine. It’s laparoscopy after all. :eek:
Ooh, I call dibs on doing a 90s one!
Woot, #3!! My best showing ever!
Though I completely forgot about legwarmers…blocked 'em out, I suppose.
And FTR, Michael Jackson did not perform at Live Aid.

I suspect some people got confused between ‘Performed at Live Aid’ vs. ‘Sang on We Are the World’
Yay, I’m in the middle this time!

Only #1 answers count, right? In which case I propose that if there’s a #1 answer which is factually incorrect, it get thrown out…I don’t think the television let factually incorrect answers through either.
