Music Quiz: Jim and James
Congratulations to Tony (https://mumblingabout.com), the only contestant to score 20/20 in last week’s quiz.
This week’s quiz requires you to complete song lyrics that reference Jim or James. I’m expecting Music Enthusiast to do well this week with a home ground advantage.

I scored 19/19 in 2 minutes and 34 seconds. Can you equal my score and beat my time? Bonus marks if you can explain my choice of feature image for this week’s post.
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.
19/19. Phew! The pressure was on. It advised me that I, “Nailed it! Take a victory lap.” I will at least tie if not win the (rock) Tony award. I took a page from his book and not only guessed (on about 4) but really thought about my guesses. BTW, Jimmy Mack is one of the tunes. Not giving anything away by saying that. But boy, that is one of the great old tunes from the Motown era.

I’ve since been tied. Forgot to take note of my time so I can’t report it.

A lowly 17/19 for me this week. No excuses, although I should get bonus points for knowing the MMJ artwork (and Jim James reference).

19 though I was waiting in vain for a My Morning Jacket lyric to come up. Z sits in my all-time top ten

I don’t think Jim James is that self-referential.

I got it right too. I make fun of them too, but I don’t know that I’ve ever actually heard them.
