Music Quiz: Songs by Secondary Colour

Noone scored 100% in last week’s Dead Before 30 quiz, but congratulations to everyone who scored 21. Both Avicii and Pigpen proved challenging.

This week, your challenge is to complete song titles with secondary colours.

I scored 14/15 – can you beat me?

I start working full time next week. At the moment my plan is to drop down to two posts per week and see how it goes.

Last week I neglected to reveal the answer to the previous week’s trivia question – the connection between David Crosby and Genesis. It’s mainly based on rumour, and never been officially confirmed, but it’s been reported that Phil Collins paid for David Crosby’s 1994 liver transplant. Crosby said in an interview that: “Phil Collins did help me enormously. I’m not going to get into the specifics about how; it’s nobody else’s business but mine and Phil’s, but he did help me tremendously, and he is a dear friend.” Crosby also provided backing vocals on Collin’s 1989 hit ‘Another Day in Paradise’.

For another CSN-related question, can you complete this Stephen Stills quote from 1976?

“I keep bass strings on my bass for two years at a time. Because I play bass so hard that I really thump it, when I get a new string, I buy some [XXXXX XXXXX] and sit and rub it in. This is because it’s got to get a little funky, rusty, and greasy in there so it will start to respond. And that’s something you can’t build on a machine.”

  1. Do you think they could squeeze more animated pop-up ads on that Sporcle site? It’s still useable. I’m sure they could whore out more. As the quiz, 14/15. Gogol Bordello? What is that? As to the Stills quote, I think it was something like chicken grease.

  2. 13/15 but I only remember getting one wrong (the Gogol Bordello one) with ~2:30 left. My guess for Stills (using the exact number of letters that you have X’s) : Silly Putty?

  3. 14/15
    TIMER
    01:48 I had to guess twice…and I was 50 percent right….Bordello is the one I got wrong
    I have read that Stills used BBQ sauce…which is funny as hell.
