There are still 3 songs to appear which didn’t make the last 80s poll. Would anyone want to do a guessing game on a separate thread?

Re: AMF Top songs of the 1980s!
I suppose it's odd seeing "About a Girl" shoot up high, probably because it only became really popular due to a live version from 1994.
Splish splash, I was raking in the cash
Re: AMF Top songs of the 1980s!
I also thought it was "country boy", but was surprised to consistently see "pantry boy" online. Then again, I'm horrible with lyrics, so these instances of knowing and hearing songs for decades and then finding I had the lyrics wrong is not rare.
