Music Quiz: Music Jokes
Last week’s first and last song quiz created a logjam. The highest score was 13/16, and Michael Jackson seemingly tricked everyone since his early albums are relatively obscure. Congratulations to Rich, Max, Bruce, and jprobichaud, who all made it to 13.
This week we’have some music jokes. Can you select the correct punch-line?

I scored 24/24 in 3:08 – can you beat my time?
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.
I did not beat your time but I matched your score. 2:12 was left on the clock. Most of them were fairly clever with a few groaners along the way.

If you have such a thing then yes, you have my vote. Also a possible new name for your blog.

English isn’t your first language, right? It’s probably more that than music knowledge.

Process of elimination on this one. They’re easier when a clue leads to only one possible answer and you’ve gotten the others through a combination of sleuth-work and dumb luck

That, and most here have a head start by following music for longer. I’m still in the discovery phase. Names like “Sharkey” & “Pellow” don’t ring a bell.

24/24 with 3:14 on the clock. The Fergal Sharkey joke made me chuckle. My wife told me she wanted to see a Monkees tribute act in Switzerland. I thought she was joking but now I’m in Geneva..
