Answer: La Isla Bonita

Don't you remember this 1980's hit by "Madonna", it was from the "True Blue" album?!

12. "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls" they sung in:

Answer: Get The Party Started

"Get The Party Started" was the first released song from "Pink"'s album "Missundaztood", one of only three songs on the album that she did not either write, or co-write. "Diirty" is "Christina Aguilera", "Work It" is "Missy Elliott", and "Drinkin' in L.A" is actually by "Bran Van 3000", but its my favorite song so I chucked it in anyway!

14. "I'd like a doctor to take a picture so I can look at you from inside as well" was the strange line, from the equally strange song:

Answer: Turning Japanese

That song had us all slightly confused... but it still hauled in a fair bit of cash for "The Vapors"! It was recently used on the "Charlie's Angels" movie soundtrack.

15. And since this is the last question, I'll make it a wee bit harder. "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hon" was a line in which song?

Answer: Baby Got Back
