Music Quiz: Jump, Run, or Walk
Happy Valentines day (it’s already February 14 in New Zealand). Congratulations to hanspostcard from https://slicethelife.com/, who high scored with 27/30 in last week’s Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper.
This week’s quiz requires you to figure out whether 24 different songs are about running, jumping, or walking.

I scored 21/24. All the questions I got wrong were from the 1990s – I’m not really up with the play on Blues Traveler or Third Eye Blind. How did you score?
Terrible… 18/24… The newer ones I guessed and it showed.

Well that sucked. 17/24. Never heard of a bunch of ’em, almost every guess was wrong.

16 – There’s a part of me that thinks I should know more about post-2000 pop. A tinsy-winsy part that I can happily ignore. Chris

I enjoy modern pop music but I suspect having two young daughters helps. It’s modern mainstream rock that’s totally out of steam IMO.

22 for me which was better than I thought I’d do. Some lucky guesses mind you.

Imagine if there was a cycling category. You might have scored 120%

I would have at least known Queen’s contribution to that category!

24/24 today, I like a good quick-fire one. Can’t help but think as his hips get as shot as his voice DLR might start singing “Walk”
Are you familiar with the Walk of Life Project?

Joining Geoff at the top. I wasn’t familiar with the walk of life project, but just looked it up now. It’s not my favourite Dire Straits song, but it is a very pretty and softly building intro, so I can see how it works.
