Last week’s Band by Long Song Title quiz favoured younger contestants – King Clover narrowly beat Jprobichaud for bragging rights.
This week’s quiz possibly has a similar demographic skew. You need to link lyrics to a song by a 1990s one-hit wonder. You only need to know five songs, so it’s not too tough.

I scored 15/15 with 2:16 remaining – can you beat my time? Do you have a favourite 1990s one-hit wonder?

12/15. Way better than I would have expected.
Good job.
12/15 with :30 left (ran out of guesses) I didn’t know ANY but reasoned out what Barbie would say and then did the same with the rest. This was fun!
That’s good guessing. I think we’ve talked about Barbie Girl before?
Thanks, Graham. You probably have but my grey matter isn’t what it used to be.
It’s fortunate you don’t know it…. although it’s very clever on some levels.
15/15 with 2:26 left
Ooh, you’re the fastest so far.
15/15 with 1:17 left. I think my favorite 1990s one-hit wonder would be “You Get What You Give” by The New Radicals
Great work – I like that tune too. It was used in an ad here, which is mainly how I know it.
15/15 with just 3 seconds left. But I cheated by getting my wife involved.
I think involving your wife is legal.
Alright. This “old” guy of 56 got 15/15. I took my time so ended up with 1:03 left on the clock. My lyrical recall isn’t what it used to be. As for those five one-hit wonders, I like (and still own those CDs by) Deep Blue Something and Tal Bachman.
This “old” Kamerman
He scored 15
He scored 15 and didn’t mismean
12/15. I knew the songs, just not the lyrics.
But 12 is good anyway.
I ain’t gonna be the winner 2 weeks in a row cuz I really screwed up on this one. I didn’t know that song about Breakfast at Tiffany’s and that kept fucking me up. I got 10/15.
You might enjoy that song – I kind of liked it. If you do, that’s one thing we got.
I was lucky to score
Incomplete message?
No just terrible a that particular quiz. Carry on 🙂
Think I’m square in the middle of that demographic. That bloody Barbie Girl was inescapable during my first year in sixth form there so leant me a hand – 15/15 with 2:30 remaining
It was either my last year at school or first at University.
I could probably lyric match too many songs of that period thanks to killing time during frees in the sixth form block. It’s alarming how many years ago that was now
I don’t think we were allowed music in our free periods. I mainly remember playing battleships rather than studying….
Oh well, not very good. 11/15. Maybe next time.
Not knowing Barbie Girl is a positive thing.
I would think that is a plus
SCORE
10/15…. I did not know Barbie Girl…at all… well after I listened to it I did remember it unfortunately. it’s been a long time but not long enough.
It’s on this line between super-annoying and actually-quite-clever, for me.
Yea you can’t take it seriously…it fits among the misfits on the White Album
But it would have been cool if I won two weeks in a row.
Yes, it would have been!
