Music Quiz: Artist to Badly Drawn Songs 1970s

45 Comments

1. 17/20. Just couldn’t wrap my head around them all.

   • I connected Butter and Popcorn, whcih was helpful for my score.

2. PS. Blob and Hump, good band name. Funny to see kids today doing projects online. I’m so old we used slide rules to measure and notebooks from the stationery store. And #2 pencils. Cute story.

   • Thanks for reading! It’s certainly a much better era to have a school lockdown, since there are lots of resources online. We don’t have a slide rule at home, so that would be out of the question – and I don’t even know how to use one.

     • If we’d had this lockdown 20 years ago, businesses and schools would have been screwed, no question.

       • I guess coronavirus wouldn’t have spread so quickly without modern technology (like aeroplanes) either.

         • Well, yes and no. The 1918 flu killed at least 50 million people worldwide with no real air travel. The trenches in WWI were carriers in port towns like Boston. Coronavirus spreads exponentially.

         • Yeah, it’s crazy that it spread so far. That flu killed lots of otherwise healthy 20-somethings.

         • You guys certainly handled this one better than most of the rest of the world

         • Luckily our left wing government is in at the moment – don’t think the right wing guys would have done so well. Although our right isn’t very right by American standards – more comparable to Democrats than Republicans. The Republican-type parties are weird little fringe groups that don’t get into parliament.

   • Don’t forget plastic protractors to measure angles and pointed compasses with pencils in them to draw circles.

     • Graham doesn’t know what he missed.

     • I still had those when I went to school! I think they still might be around.

3. These are always fun and surprisingly challenging. Happy to get a perfect score with 3:12 remaining.

   • Great work!

4. 19 – missed the popcorn, alas!

   • I figured Butter and Popcorn would go together in music like they do in real life.

5. 15/20 with 2:05 left. I also check out your family choose-your-own adventure. Very neat! That had to have taken some time to put together. So creative and also has teaching moments in it.

   • Thanks for reading the adventure, and good score!

     • You’re welcome.

6. I got 20/20 with 3:15 left. And your daughters’ pick-a-path story is quite charming.

   • Good score! I will pass on your feedback.

7. I felt like I did pretty well with 16/20. Interesting that of all those bands you found obscure that the Bosstones were one of them. They weren’t a big hit on your side of the world?

   • I feel like Bosstones were big at the time, but they haven’t really had any attention for years. They are kind of in a niche genre though, so maybe they’re still big in their circle.

8. perfect score with 1:44 left – I didn’t know who sang ku fu fighting or car wash but guessed right.

   • Great work!

9. Neat pick a path story – first time through I ended up on planet marshmallow. Second time in the NZ bush. I think I preferred the first option. Cool creature names too!

   • Thanks for playing – I will let the girls know.

10. The bad news is that I only got 11/20. The good news is that Blob and Hump lived happily ever after!…but, sadly, they never saw their friends and family again. More bad news.

    • Funny!

11. I did terrible compared many lol

    • You got them all right though.

12. 17/20 – I’m probably too young to know Hot Butter, Curtis Mayfield and Tony Orlando and Dawn.

    • Curtis Mayfield is worth checking out imo. One of the best live albums I’ve heard.

13. 18/20. I got Lennon and Fleetwood Mac mixed up – dreaming and imagining.

    • Imagine there’s no thunder / Not even when it’s raining.

      • Indeed.

14. I stink at these badly drawn ones. Maybe I’ll do better next week.

    • Would you prefer well drawn?

      • I’d prefer the answers!! LOL!!

15. 14/20 with 1:55 I was guessing at the end, I don’t know some of those artists. But hey, thanks for the chance to shine!

    • You obviously need to keep a look out for Carl Douglas records in the op shop. I don’t know any other songs of his except Kung Fu Fighting.

      • Can’t say I’ve ever seen one, but that means now I will!

    The story was pretty nice. I ended up being helped by the Marshmallows. I knew there was a reason I liked marshmallows.

    • They normally help me put on weight.
