Music Quiz: Song Title Mistaken for its Refrain

This week, you need to name the hit song from the key line in the chorus.

  1. 29/35. And even though I pretty much blew it, that’s the kind of quiz I like best. I do that all the time with friends. Throw out a quote from a song and see how long it takes them to guess it. I text a friend in Philly. Sometimes he comes back with it the next day. No context at all so he has to try to hear the song.

  2. As to the Joel artwork, I had two guesses in my head. The first was Joni Mitchell but the second was Christie Brinkley. So, one of those?? I know Joni paints but….

    • You were in the lead for a while there. I was down to educated guessing by the time I got to Sister Christian.

  3. 34/35 Can you believe I got the same one wrong as you did? The other ones that I had to guess at I got right.

    • I was down to educated guesses leading into that, but that last one felt like a 50/50 stab in the dark.
