  2. Split pea soup
  3. What goes up, must come down
  4. Greenhouse gasses
  5. Win with ease (win with "E"s)

@FL45H is our undisputed winner with a very impressive 8½ out of 10. Please accept a round of applause :clap::clap::clap::clap: and a shiny trophy!

:trophy:

Special :banana: to @Ian_Chimp for descriptive You Tube clips and also because I think a banana will make a healthier Tuesday breakfast than wine and Es! :rofl:

Thank you to everyone who had a go, I love you all and welcome to the quiz thread @M-Sfnb1 ! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Morning, just a relatively easy song/lyric quiz.

Artist and the name of the song. Bonus point will be added if you can give the next line so 3 points per question.

Hide your answers please :slight_smile:

1 There’s nothin’ where he use to lie

2 when we get tired of dancing and things start to getting slow

3 When you need me and you can’t see me in the middle of the night

4 she’s walking over to me this must be fake

5 no one can save me the damage is done

6 You can call it another lonely day another lonely day

7 Baby I know the story, I’ve seen the picture

8 there were nights of endless pleasure

9 When I look back on these days, I’ll look and see your face

10 Everytime the sun goes down I let you take control

I am so bad at Music quizzes! Love listening to it but so bad at remembering anything about it… and it turns out knowing lyrics too :rofl:. Pop Master - if I can get double figures I’m thrilled!

Anyway, I was very happy with the first one and it went downhill from there :see_no_evil:. I resent “relatively easy” :joy:

My very pitiful attempt...
  1. “The conversation has run dry” Torn - Natalie Imbrulia (sp?)
  2. Rings no bells
  3. Not a clue
  4. “My lip starts to shake” Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
  5. I think “Shot through the heart and you’re to blame” You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi
  6. Nope.
  7. Rings a vague bell but I can’t quite place it.
  8. I think it’s a Celine Dion song but I can’t get the next line and I can’t remember the title
  9. Nope.
  10. Not a clue.

Haha, not a bad try to be fair. Least you’ve had a go!

2778

Well this went down like a lead balloon :joy: I’ll post the answers later on but @Peitho if nobody else enters then you’re most likely the winner :partying_face:

2779

I’m sure this is really obvious when you know the answers but the whole lot has me stumped :rofl:

I’m a music trivia person and only nailed one of 10 (#5), that said I usually avoid pop music and prefer alternative or little known bands.

2781

These quizzes can be difficult and you end up kicking yourself once you realise what it is. Anyway, here’s the answers

1 Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

2 The drifters - come on over to my place

3 Luke Combs - even though I’m leaving

4 Wheatus- Teenage Dirtbag

5 Bon Jovi - you give love a bad name

6 Fleetwood Mac - go your own way

7 Westlife - fool again

8 Celine Dion - it’s all coming back to me now

9 Faith Hill - There you’ll be

10 Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits

@Peitho is the winner :medal_sports:

Well, I make my score 10 out of 30… I’m not sure that’s a pass but my vast knowledge was clearly too much for anyone else to take on! :joy:

To be honest, having seen the answers, I still wouldn’t have got 5 of them at all. Fleetwood Mac I can hear the song in my head now I’ve seen the answer but the other 5, still no clue without googling I’m afraid. Sticking with my statement of resenting, “relatively easy”, but I enjoyed it @M-Sfnb1 and thank you for setting it. Torn and Teenage Dirtbag brought back very happy memories from my formative years!

Haha, winning is winning. Next time I’ll do one that’s a bit more varied across genres and generations. Well done, 10 out of 30 isn’t bad!

I’m working on a general knowledge one so hopefully more people will have a go at that :slight_smile:
