Boys Vs. Girls: Guess The 80s Song From The Lyrics!

[@oddeda]

0:43 He's totally right, many times you give the points just for the song title!!

[@emmabe]

I liked all of the pairings today, wanna see more of them. Corey and Sharon where such a match!

[@vcentlee-theunexpectedone]

Keith and Sharon were too hilarious here. Got me laughing and cracking up so much.

[@BMcCauley6]

Love Alex and Slyvias accidental few notes of harmony on Girls just Wanna Have Fun.

[@bjf-lt3rg]

Sharon channeling her inner Johnny Bravo 😜😂😂💙

[@iamb_4u908]

How did Keith lose on a Michael Jackson song?! He's obsessed with MJ!

[@JBags0203]

Exactly!!!

[@IceMetalPunk]

THIS!

[@furkanbozdag8198]

How do you know he is obsessed

[@juanita_rocksteady2761]

​@@furkanbozdag8198He has literally said "I'm obsessed with Micheal Jackson" in other videos.

[@ItsDaUkeGrl]

I really thought he had it in the bag on Clue 2 😭

[@salmineo4132]

I like this producer,hes always bubbly and chill with everyone

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

He's hilarious too!

[@Jenyrae]

Joe beretta is hilarious!!! I first saw him playing cards against humanity with source fed nerd!!

[@wondercoton]

Alex's absolute dysfunction at 2:40 is why he's the most relatable millenial on the cast. We older millenials need no other competition or outside force in order to lose and destruct.

[@venadacent7696]

The harmonies that Alex and Sylvia have singing Total Eclipse Of The Heart...fab-u-lous!!

[@byronabrahams871]

Erin's the GOAT in these lyric battles, across multiple genres.

[@btetschner]

15:36 "It's Tricky" by Run DMC is on the soundtrack of the film Can't Hardly Wait (1998). Since my first concert was Third Eye Blind with Eve 6 and I went to a G-Love concert later, I have heard six songs on that soundtrack in concert.

[@btetschner]

6:27 In the song "Girls Just Want To Have Fun," Cyndi Lauper "flipped the script" (wikipedia) in regards to gender norms and expectations. It is similar to what pickup artists often do when approaching, they "flip the script" with gender roles in order to be charmingly disarming. For example, a male pickup artist might approach a girl and say "I am all about commitment and I hope you like me for who I am."

[@deeowpee]

Make a REACT singing contest, you have a lot of good singers. Corey, Izzy, Jillian and many more.

[@atx0025]

Corey and Sharon made my Tuesday. Those two are fun together 😆 🤣.

[@ronniflores2973]

Keith “I can’t take my soul out Joe” 😂😂

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

“Hey Alexa? Corey lightbulb go off?” 😂😂😂😂I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe

[@Eeveeismypatronas]

(My mom & I are on the same team, she's helping me. XD) 0:43 Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners 1:53 Maneater by Haul & Oats 3:17 Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham 5:42 Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson 6:29 Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper 7:42 Material Girl by Madonna 9:18 Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler 11:23 Take On Me by Aha (My dad's secret favorite song)

[@btetschner]

13:22 "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" by Tears for Fears "won Best Single at the Brit Awards" in 1986 (wikipedia) It was covered by "New Zealand singer Lorde for the soundtrack to the movie adaptation of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." (wikipedia).

[@susannahsaurus]

The longer Alex spends with another Reactor, the better he sings with them. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not, but I love seeing him meeting them where they are and maintaining his thumbtack-eating self 💜

[@nathanwilliams9866]

I'm just tired of React getting folks from all these other places on KZbin. He was never entertaining when I saw him on the Try Guys either.

[@mysam4504]

"Alexa, Corey light bulb off." -Sharon (that one took me out.

[@williambanks2223]

15:17 Fun fact: it was rumored that the movie was based on the students at MIT. They supposedly pulled the same pranks on the college campus.

[@henrywilloughby2327]

The irony at 11:30 - he has an A-Ha moment, but doesn't.

[@btetschner]

Good one!

[@DaRozeman]

Alex and Sylvia had some good harmonizing going on there.

[@Nellywoman197602]

I would like to see a video of TV Theme Song lyric battle of shows from the 1950’s-1990’s! That would be awesome!

[@btetschner]

9:19 "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler is part of the beginning of the film Urban Legend (1998). Ironically it is raining in the scene (Joe mentioned that it was the #1 song for people to sing in their showers in the UK).

[@mariecarbonell5298]

Tip for everyone: Don’t watch the video with the volume on max… when Sharon asked Alexa to “turn Corey’s lightbulb off”…. MY Alexa asked me if I wanted my front lights turned off!!!! FREAKED me out! Bonkers! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paulvinco7185]

Real Genius, very underrated movie. Definitely worth a watch.

[@JeffreyChadwell]

Real Genius has one of my favorite under-the-radar movie lines: (Professor Hathaway and Major Carnagle are arguing over when the secret weapon will be done) Hathaway: It's coming! Carnagle: Ha! It's not even breathing hard! I must have watch that movie a dozen times before I caught it.

[@lenniedavis1294]

Keith "My favorite Madonna song is Born This Way" lmfao god I love him!!

[@antoniomarin9061]

That's by Lady Gaga I think

[@isabelleeee7557]

@@antoniomarin9061yeah he was joking

[@btetschner]

4:36 "Man In The Mirror" by Michael Jackson was his tenth #1 hit.

[@robynparker9383]

Sylvia and Alex sound good together

[@IceMetalPunk]

Always love when Joe's in charge of a music react video 😁

[@mariacgamezz]

0:53 "Mom! dad! Stop fighting!" THAT TOOK ME OUT

[@Romial34]

I wish they would play the song afterward again like they used to.

[@scottwilson3741]

Joe is right. Real Genius is a classic. One of Val Kilmers earliest roles

[@princessp2119]

Erin and Keith were hilarious love them 😂😂

[@btetschner]

15:19 Real Genius (1985) is a great film!

[@kevinmorbidthelostcronin1984]

Kent ... this is God, Kent...

[@ctakitimu]

I didn't know 'It's Tricky' had samples from The Knack and Toni 'Bay'sil . Wow! Also, while I knew Izzy and Corey could sing, I did not know Sylvia could too! Incidentally, I called her house but got her mother on the phone who told me "Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone". Be cool if you guys got them to sing more. I think I'm leaving one of them out who can sing?

[@rachellevine9160]

“Who was the perve going around listening to people in the shower?” Lolol

[@GAMER3Productions]

Joe earned my respect for mentioning the film Real Genius!!! 😎👍🏽

[@lemondedetr]

This is TOP TIER battles and music involved. Dare to change my mind. It's just AMAZING the vibe.

[@rebyj]

Keith missing the Michael Jackson song shocked me! He's hilarious. And Alex and Sylvia should collab. Their voices meld well together.

[@_EmmyHardy]

Would pay for an Alex & Sylvia version of Total Eclipse of the Heart 11:03

[@sharonealleyne9839]

This episode was SO funny! Aerosmith? Hit the buzzer! NO!, Alexa, Corey lightbulb off! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@itsjenjen20]

Whenever Joe is the producer, it's always fun! He's sooo good ~

[@larocomel]

I'm glad Izzy is not there because most of those songs are standard Filipino karaoke hits, she would slay them.

[@erinburgess588]

Corey and Sharon are a duo I didn’t know I needed

[@pervysage4934]

Sylvia killed that Total Eclipse harmonizing

[@EdwinSemidey]

Erin CRUSHED , Everyone did so much better than myself

[@btetschner]

1:45 In this context, a Jaguar is a car. A Jaguar car is featured on an episode of the show Mad Men ("The Other Woman") where Don Draper and the crew strive for the Jaguar account. "The episode won the Writers Guild of America Award for Episodic Drama." (wikipedia)

[@princessleah_92]

Finally, we get to see Erin again! She's absolutely my favorite. I need her to be my best friend like yesterday, please

[@btetschner]

3:16 In the music video "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham they wear oversized t-shirts that say "CHOOSE LIFE" (which started a craze in real life). The song was the #1 hit on my 5th birthday.

[@worldrummer]

this was the most fun-spirited lyric battle yet. great teams who were just in it for a good time. well done everyone.

[@jessicaellefson4204]

This type of episode (including the old ones with the kids react) has made me realize how I can know a song so well but still have no idea who sings it. I've been trying to get better at that.

[@brentottoson6974]

Funny coincidence: My wife and I watched 'Real Genius' last night and learned it took six months to pop all the popcorn. It had to be coated so it wouldn't go bad. Then the crew had to keep birds from eating it. Love the 80s!

[@katstorm13]

Damn! Today it would be cgi popcorn

[@btetschner]

1:45 "Maneater" by Hall And Oates "is performed in a ballad version by actor Andrew Barth Feldman in the 2023 film No Hard Feelings, and appears on its soundtrack." (wikipedia) Jennifer Lawrence won The Comedy Movie Star of the Year at the People's Choice Awards for her role as Maddie in the film.

[@sockygaldamez9492]

Awesome episode 😃😊😄 loved the paring of Alex and Sylvia and I’m happy Alex won 🥇

[@latoyabailey576]

Keith you just lost your MJ card. I am shocked you didn't get that 😂😂😂😂

[@JetDom767]

Jackson would have crushed this! Well done Alex for keeping it real for the millenials!

[@wildwitchwest]

this series made me learn how REALLY into music trivia i am so thank you for that. will look forward to more of these

[@patrickadams7120]

Another great episode,can we have a 60's edition of lyric battle....please try The Beatles - I Wanna Hold Your Hand Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love Janis Joplin - Piece Of My Heart Ben E King - Stand By Me Roy Orbison - Oh Pretty Woman Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody The Doors - Light My Fire David Bowie - Space Oddity The Beach Boys - I Get Around Aretha Franklin - Respect Diana Ross and The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World Jackie Wilson - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher

[@alyssanicole2771]

I love Corey and Sharon together!

[@chebabylon4]

Keith & Erin are such a vibe, love it

[@laura-maejames3424]

I'm with you Erin, I love the 80's too. Michael was far tooooooo easy for me.

[@josephpearce3650]

Corey with the perve remark made me lose it. Lol

[@logankerlee1988]

This was SO MUCH FUN to watch!!

[@oklaclarinet]

The inclusion of A-ha gives me an idea: James Bond songs lyric battle. You could have points for songs title, artist, movie name, and Bond actor.

[@RowanJR]

Ha, Sharon activated my Alexa when she tried to stop Corey.

[@btetschner]

7:41 The music video for "Material Girl by Madonna "pays homage to Marilyn Monroe's performance of the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (wikipedia)

[@samuelzonio5848]

I just know that if Jackson was in this episode, he would've crushed it and it has his fav song Take on me (A-ha)

[@MuzzikLvr]

How in the world did my man Keith Leak, Jr miss a Michael Jackson song. 😂

[@SpaceCattttt]

Because he's your woman?

[@XcelesteXmagixX]

I was born in 87....so thanks MTV for re-running lots of 80's videos. But I didn't know most of the band names 😂

[@btetschner]

9:19 According to one study, "Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, "Bille Jean" by Michael Jackson, and "Every Breath You Take" by The Police are the top three 80s Number 1 hits in the UK. All thing of them are from '83.

[@SavaFiend]

Yes, big thumbs up for thr Real Genius mention! That is a super underrated 80s movie gem! Val Kilmer was awesome in it!

[@adamhainsworth9602]

Please do guess the Disney song by lyrics

[@traviskomar1061]

Oh for sure def a very underrated movie of the era. The ending is great too

[@SushiBoii420]

0:16 i was born in the 90s.. the 80s was 20yrs ago, the 90s was 10yrs ago 00s was about 5yrs ago 10s is a total blur and 20s (and covid) was about 30yrs ago

[@jazz_meh]

Corey and Sharon were so good together 😂

[@jenniferwendt3193]

Real Genius is one of my top five all-time favorite movies! Love the shout-out!! =D

[@JustdifferentKr]

10:47 It is part of a vampire musical! The german musical "Tanz der Vampire" / "Dance of the vampires"

[@craigk.235]

Everyone was definitely having fun, it's hard to pick a favorite moment! Erin is funny and smart! I love 80s music.

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

The way Sylvia got a-ha's name was so was damn hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠

[@firesofkaladeshmtg369]

Genuinely your voices all were brilliant this episode Cheers for making me cry with laughter as ever!

[@btetschner]

Awesome music video playlist! Those videos really expressed the 80s culture well! That was the first time I have seen the music video for "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," that was fantastic!

[@livblanket2546]

One of the funniest I've seen. I laughed so much.

[@Eeveeismypatronas]

3:17 Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham!

[@kayla68779]

Silvia has a really pretty voice. The apart on total eclipse of the heart was so good.

[@Abscondita9]

I love the batch of reactors here! They're full of good vibes and fun! ☺️ Btw, I was shocked I did a lot better here than in the 90s lyric battle 🤣

[@vmunoz24able]

Joe totally agree one of the best movies. Val Kilmer... Excellent!

[@mcjes16]

Real Genius is amazing and one of my favorites.

[@argeliavazquez1726]

so @janetjackson tribute episode when? more people need to know about her contributions to music & pop culture

[@kmilli0313]

Born in 90 and absolutely love 80s music this would be so fun to do something like this. I’m constantly playing music quizzes from the 80s

[@indade]

To everyone who hasn’t realized it, lyrics out of context is fookin’ hard.

[@Wayneg420]

Bro Erin murdered this lol

[@Ruby-yn5fp]

A hundred thousand karaoke videos on react and finally in an eighties lyric battle, total eclipse takes the stage xD

[@vmunoz24able]

Love these reacts of the 80's draws me in as one of your older viewers. YAY!

[@PipiKristi]

I suck at lyrics. Would love to see a video when they have to guess the song from the melody. Also, i really wish to see more try not to sing or dance videos. 🤩

[@moranjackson7662]

As a 80's kid, born in the 70's, I love your 80's content.

[@lauren_sunshine]

Sylvia and Alex had some nice harmonies there

[@barcelona12ist]

Keith is killing me 😂PS. It's always fun having Joe around as a producer😊

[@a.westerberg6392]

Bonus point to Joe for "I would never put 2 Hall and Oates in the same video" More 80s music please!

[@linl.hendric1438]

Erin kicked ass, as always, in these lyric battles!

[@tracylin4812]

Sylvia: Mom & Dad stop fighting 😅
