Weekly Music Quiz – Song by Two Word Hint
We had 3 competitors score 20/20 on last week’s quiz on naming an album from its first three songs – congratulations to frequent high scorers Geoff and Tony, and to new podium finisher (I think?) 2loud2oldmusic.
This week’s challenge requires to name a song from two distinctive words used in its lyrics – for example, for “alabaster, master”, the answer would be The Police’s ‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’.
I scored 18/20, although I struggled to recognise a relatively recent New Zealand hit (please don’t tell anyone or they might revoke my citizenship….).

Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
20/20 with 59 seconds on the clock – the one that got me stuck was probably the “flames, higher”… I’m willing to be it’s an obvious one for others. I must’ve gone through a dozen others that contain those and was trying every possible spelling of “Burning Love” before it clicked

Congrats! I do not know of this ‘Burning Love’, but I like to assume it’s about an STD.

Yeah, I think The Kings of Leon contracted it a few years back too

I stunk this one up. 15/20. Four of them I never would have gotten, the 1963 one I should have gotten.

15’s looking pretty solid at the moment.

Thanks, but I think Tony’s THE MAN on this one with 20/20.

Haha, I’ll take a spectacular tumble from the podium this week, a non-fridge-material 10/20!
As soon as the answers were revealed, I realized I should have got several of the others, perhaps I’ll blame insufficient coffee so far today!

Should I give you warning next time, so you can imbibe first?

A lowly 12 this time. Like Geoff, when the answers were revealed I thought “of course!” with a few more. I haven’t had coffee this morning.

I think 12’s looking pretty solid with this one.
