That is correct.

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

Sorry. For 1978 songs, it was more of a challenge not to come up with the correct answers.

Graduating from high school, combined with a growing interest in the punk scene, apparently meant I wasn't paying much attention to top hits.

Not complaining... But why wouldn't you give (at least) some credit to the one who came up with seven of ten before the perfect score? But I do like your pun.

Better late than never--1979

Each answer made Billboard Magazine's year end list of the Hot 100 songs of 1979. If you need a clue, the spoiler space contains the artist that sang the song.

1979

1. This organization was founded in London by George Williams exactly 100 years before D-Day to promote a healthy body, mind and spirit.
Spoiler
Village People
2. Divided by Wilshire Boulevard, this place has a lake, a bandshell, soccer fields and a playground, but apparently not a refrigerator or storage cabinets.
Spoiler
Donna Summer
3. Possible reason given by a romantic to break up a relationship.
Spoiler
Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand
4. Jimmy the Greek for example
Spoiler
Kenny Rogers
5. Possible Tea Party periodical headline reporting on an Obama campaign trip to Atlanta.
Spoiler
Charlie Daniels Band
6. Despite his name, soul singer Percy would not have fit in with this song and its singers, but a baseball team found success with it.
Spoiler
Sister Sledge
7. Mouse mascot from a restaurant (yes, I know that raises nasty board of health connotations) after being shot by Cupid's arrow.
Spoiler
Rickie Lee Jones
8. Dr. Who probably travels through here.
Spoiler
Al Stewart
9. Better see an eye doctor for this.
Spoiler
Foreigner
10. After writing 100 of these, I've reached the point of taking the advice of this No. 1 song title. I hope that you had joy, you had fun, you had seasons in the sun (no, that song is from 1974, it's not this one).
Spoiler
Michael Jackson

Funny, on my 1968 quiz I was going to include Richard Harris' original version, but dropped this clue at the last minute.
James, Douglas and a Foundation joined forces to build an outdoor recreation area.
3. You Don't Bring Me Flowers
4. The Gambler
5.
6. We Are Family
7. Chuck E's in Love
8. Time Passages

The only one I didn't know was
Spoiler
We Are Family
I blame it on being totally fed up with "popular" music by that point, despite only being partway through high school.

I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
