Congratulations to Rich Kamerman, who just pipped Eclectic Music Lover for the fastest time in last week’s Cat Stevens titles quiz. Here’s a live version of my favourite song from the quiz, ‘Sad Lisa’, if you don’t know it already:
This week you need to complete the classic rock lyric. I scored 14/15, missing the Bowie song. I like Bowie but I don’t own ‘Young Americans’ so I don’t know that song as well as most of his other big hits.

I know Bowie’s whole catalog but not every lyric, and that’s the one that stumped me as well, so 14/15 for me.
I’ve heard that song plenty of times, but they aren’t the clearest lyrics on that song. Good work!
14/15. Blew it on AC/DC. Otherwise, world’s easiest quiz.
Great work!
SCORE
15/15

02:45 I guessed at the Bowie one and got it. You can hardly hear what he sings in that song anyway.
Way to go, Max! Remember the days when we had LPs and lyric sheets, we’d study each line? I had Young Americans in LP 🙂 Favorite song from that album: “Win”
Thanks Lisa! I knew all of them BUT the Bowie one…it sounded right so I picked it. If it wouldn’t have been a mulitple choice…I would have never got that one.
You’re welcome. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten some of the others without multiple choice. Were you singing the lines so you could remember like I did? lol. Some of these songs it’s been awhile.
I had to…along with the Beatles song. It’s like saying the alphabet to get to the right letter.
My sister used to quiz me on lyrics and said I couldn’t buy any more CDs until I memorised the lyrics from the CDs I already owned.
Your sister did well by you. You are really good at these quizzes.
I thought it was a bit too bossy actually!
🙂
Yep. I think Win is the best one on that album too besides Across the Universe, believe it or not. Which is really weird because I never really liked it on Let It Be or the way John Lennon sang it. But the one on Young Americans is fantastic. Bowie at his best. I also like Fame, but that’s about it. Hate the title song.
King, I pretty much like all of the songs on that one. Across the Universe is definitely in 2nd place or maybe tied with 1st. Bowie himself did not like this album. I sing Young Americans like I sing The Doobie Brothers’ Blackwater, almost like a mantra.
I don’t know how but I forgot about Somebody Up There Likes Me, which is another great one. My favorite Doobie Brothers song to sing is China Grove, although I love Blackwater too.
I wanna play that funky Dixieland
Young American take me by the hand
Perfect score! My main memory of the lyrics of ‘Fame’ is “FAME! mumble mumble mumble”
Yea that is all you can make out
13/15 missed Boston and AC/DC. Dangit!
Good work!

Perfect score, thanks for playing!
I got 11/15
Thanks for playing!
I got 6/15 with 0:25 left. This was very hard, but I had fun! Thanks for the quiz!
Thanks for playing!
No problem! I had fun!
12/15. Not that great, but not too bad either.
A solid B+.
14/15 – failed, once again, by my lack of familiarity with bloody Margaritaville
Not knowing Margaritaville is a blessing and a curse, but mostly a blessing.
It’s my pub quiz weakness. That and sports
I did this the other day but I can’t post on your site again. I got 15/15 with 3:17 time left. Did anybody beat me? I thought I did really good and no one would beat me. Lol
You can obviously post again now!
I don’t think I was ever the winner before on the quizzes so I really wanna win at least once!!! Ha ha
Looks like occasional competitor boppinsblog beat your time this week.
Lmao. I always questioned that line though cuz Dixieland music isn’t funky. Too old-timey sounding to be funky.
