Last week’s competition could perhaps be described as the Falklands War of Music Quizzes, with Bruce (https://vinylconnection.com.au/) just pipping Rich by the thinnest of hairs (3 seconds).
This week’s quiz requires you to match the song to the decade.

It’s a bit of a speed contest, although it can get tricky when a song is near the cusp of a decade. I scored 24/24 in 0:55 – can you join me on 100%? Can you beat my time?

This follically-challenged contestant enjoyed your introduction this week. And I matched you exactly at 24/24 with 3:05 left on the clock. That was intense.
Did you get both hair jokes. The Falklands one might have been too obscure…
22/24: 2:48. The quiz was kind enough to say, “Nice, solid effort. We are so proud of you right now.”
And I’m proud of you too Jim!
23/24. Stumbled on Del Shannon
Almost perfect!
22/24 – Survivor & Del Shannon!
I actually would have put Shannon in the 1950s if I could.
24/24 but 1:02
Great effort though!
Oooft. 18 for me.
And great to have you on board sir!
22/24 with 2:50 left.
Great effort!
I’ve never participated before, but I got 24/24 with 3:08 left on the clock on this!
Wow, great effort and great to have you on board.
22/24 with 3:02 left.
Great effort!
24/24 with 3:14 left on the clock 😀
I liked the snide “I bet you fill out the crossword puzzles in pen” verdict on my result
Looks like you’re in the lead.
Falkland’s? I’m thinking ‘Shipbuilding’, I’m thinking Harrier Jump Jets, er…
Although my time was good, I got one wrong. Someone I’ve never listened to at all named Celine Dion. Was she big or something?
Huge voice, little soul. I do like It’s All Coming Back To Me, which has Jim Steinman and Todd Rundgren.
And there’s a famous quote about the war being like two bald men fighting over a comb?
Ah. That’s good.
Now, where’s my hairbrush?
22/24 – one misclick and I missed Celine Dion
Celine Dion was all over the radio in my teens, so I find it pretty easy to match her to the 1990s.
