Synopses & Reviews
The "Lyrics Game" is sweeping the nation. From bars to e-mail to web sites aplenty, people are challenging each other to relive the eighties -- especially the music.
Who Can It Be Now? is the book version of this popular phenomenon, complete with over 350 lyrics of the era from the sublime to the ridiculous, the sacred to the profane. It's a hilarious, interactive game filled with songs, bands, trivia, themes, jokes, ironies, nostalgia, and embarrassments that celebrates the decade everyone pretends they want to forget. Part music, part pop culture, and all entertainment, this tongue-in-cheek look at the eighties will be the perfect retro gift for the nineties. A must-have at parties, Who Can It Be Now? is for the millions of twenty-somethings who once wore parachute pants, drank New Coke, played Donkey. Kong, and, of course, were addicted to MTV.
Synopsis
For the generation that was raised on MTV, here's the book version of the game that's sweeping barrooms and living rooms across the country.
Who Can It Be Now? is fun, funny, and addictive -- and if you don't believe us, just try guessing 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, there's a book about Angela Lansbury in Aisle Four.
