OK, I'm taking the '80s lyric test that is making the rounds, and there are a few problems.

Like a whole slew of songs from the 1970s.

"Hotel California", "Walk This Way". and "Rock The Casbah", to name a few.

Havn't seen the meme, but...

"Rock the Casbah" was on the Combat Rock album, which came out in 1982.

And of course, "Walk This Way" was a big hit twice, first for Aerosmith in 1975, but again for Run DMC (with Aerosmith) in 1986.

Hotel California I have no excuse for.

Clash Geek. The British single for "Rock the Casbah" came out on an EP in 1979. I found it in the import bin at Tower Records the next year.

(Anybody else remember EPs?)

Not to mention some of the lyrics in the test are wrong, to boot..
