Music Quiz: History in Song

Congratulations to Rich and Tony who both scored 25/25 in last week’s music video quiz.
This week’s quiz requires you to identify the song based on the historical event that it profiles.

I scored 19/25. The first few clues I got were all from my music collection, but then I ran into some tricky ones. I’m sure some of you can best me.
I stunk that one. Not even going to give my score. 🙂

That was a tough one this week. A few I could use common sense to work out, but I still only scored 9/25

23. Some were lucky guesses.

Seems like a pretty good score – not sure if we’ll get any 100%s this week, as it’s a pretty diverse bunch of stuff.

23 and a bit of that was more luck than knowledge

Struggling to think of the last time you scored less than 100%….

I believe it was probably hip-hop related

23/25. I couldn’t suss out the two ‘sailing’ ones.

I actually knew the Knopfler one for some reason – never heard the song, but read about it somewhere.

Yeah I had no idea what it was about.

Good score – I think there are three of you tied on 23 now.

Started off well then it all fell apart. I’ve already forgotten my score it was was that bad.

Man, I sucked at this one, 12/25. I shouldn’t do these tests first thing in the morning, apparently! I loved the quiz’ backhanded positive encouragement though, “You are in the sweet spot between really awesome and not awesome.” Well, thanks! Haha

Scores have been all over the place this week – weird quiz.

Yes, but it taught me a few things I didn’t know too, so I take that as a win!

Oooft. 12 for me. Certainly a couple I should have got when I got to the end and the reveal. Guess that’s what happens when you don’t utilise the ‘next’ button (though it would only have increased the score to 15).

Yes, the next button is very helpful.

19 of 25 for me. I was out of town last week and haven’t listened to music (other than during my flights) since last Monday, so I’ll blame musical rustiness for my score.

I got 19 too, it’s not that bad.
