1980s One-Hit Wonder Lyrics, Part 1 - Random Trivia Questions

The '80s were my formative years, so the music of that decade has been permanently etched in my brain. Although I listen to a broad range of genres (rock, jazz, new age, and classical for starters), I've always been a sucker for upbeat, shallow pop songs (think "Gloria", "Obsession", and "The Warrior").

To make things easier, these lyrics come from the beginnings of the songs, the songs are by one-hit wonders, and the chart dates are from 1980 to 1984 in chronological order. (Disclaimer: leave this page right now if you don't want any of these tunes stuck in your head for the rest of the day). Scoring: one point for each correct song title and one point for each correct artist.
