The bomb maker got you The 1981 song by Soft Cell is actually a cover of one released in 1965 by Gloria Jones!

You were OK with Livin' on a Prayer since that was released in 1986. The other two you didn't want to snip were I Shot the Sheriff (another song where the best-known version is a cover, but the bomb would have gone off either way—Bob Marley did it in 1973 and Eric Clapton did it in 1974) and Can You Feel the Love Tonight (which Elton John didn't release until 1994).

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go was released in 1984 and Karma Chameleon was released in 1983.

You leave us with $50,000, and I leave all of you with thanks for playing. I've had fun doing this, and I'll see you next time around.
