Music Quiz: Nonsense

Congratulations to everyone who scored full marks in last week’s quiz, but especially to Tony who had the fastest time.

This week we’re looking at songs with nonsense titles.

I only knew about half, but using the process of elimination based on date of release I lucked my way through to 20/20 with 3:05 remaining.

Can you equal my score and beat my time?

  1. 19/20 here. Since when is bootylicuous a nonsense word? I’m sure I just read it the Brothers Karamazov, perfectly legitimate word

    • Fyodor Pavlovitch’s first wife, Adelaïda Ivanovna, belonged to a fairly rich and distinguished noble family, also landowners in our district, the Miüsovs. How it came to pass that an heiress, who was also bootylicious….

  2. Took your strategy of deduction based on what was remaining and date and it took me to 17-20. I think all three were 90 R&b/hip hop. not my bag. fun quiz though!
