Congratulations to JP Robichaud, who astounded us all with his musical instrument knowledge with a perfect 16/16.
This week you need to complete the song lyrics that contain a like.

Can you master the similes? I scored 26/26 in 02:33 – can you beat my time?

Wow, you really flew threw this one. It’s hard to imagine anyone beating your time. I matched your perfect score but with 3:48 left on the clock. I probably knew 20 of them and the others were educated guesses.
It’s pretty fun doing the last ones and trying to fit them in each sentence!
Woo! 26 with 3 seconds remaining!
Cutting it fine!
26/26, 5:02 left. I sailed through the first round, the second time through were educated it-can’t-be-anything-else guesses.
Saiiiilong, takes me awaaaay!
Your sense of humor must wow them at kids’ parties.
I cut down on the Christopher Cross references for those.
Jack up the Taylor Swift and Cardi B ones
Old Town Road was huge at my kids’ school disco last week.
I’m glad I’m past the stage in life where I’m exposed to music I don’t wanna hear. I suppose that will recur when/if I have grandkids.
Woo hoo
SCORE
26/26
TIMER

Max/Max.
26! With 315 to go
Everyone’s on 100% so far – I didn’t think it was that easy!
I think I knew about half & relied on rhyming/logic the rest of the way
When I read the names of artists I’ve never even heard of, my heart sank. But by dint of a process of elimination and trusting the rules of grammar, ended up with the identical score and time to Geoff. 26 with 3:15 to go.
You guys may need to cut the prize in half this week.
20/26 this time. Probably could have got a few more right as they were quite logical
Again English as second language probably doesn’t help, right? I did the same thing other people have mentioned – getting the ones I knew, then trying to fit the others into the sentence.
I can’t keep using that excuse 🙂 It’s ok not being the best.
Don’t worry, it wasn’t easy at least not for me. I struggled immensely and I am blaming it on it being too early. I am not posting my score as it won’t win unless we are going for lowest. If so, let me know as I might win that one.
I was amazed at all the 100%s. I wonder if you could make a Sporcle quiz where the aim’s to score as low as possible.
I am sure there is.
Nope. Complete fail. 18/26. Apparently, the words escaped ms
I don’t know if I’d call that a complete fail – more like an uncharacteristic under-performance.
26/26 with a little over 5:10 left to go
Ooh, fast time!
Caffeine charged. Surprised myself and got lucky with a few guesses having left the unknowns to the end
24 of 26 – couple of dumb mistakes kept me from perfect score.
A great way to honour Springsteen’s 70th.
Interesting quiz — got the first two wrong, but did much better after that — not familiar with many of these songs.
