Music Quiz: Christmas Songs in Emojis

28 Comments

1. Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day! I got 16 out of 18 as well with 19 seconds left. Also, great insight on Frozen II. Going to see Star Wars tomorrow…I think.

   • I saw Star Wars on Monday – I thought it did a good job of feeling like Star Wars and resolving unanswered questions. I see a lot of people hating the sequels (especially The Last Jedi) but I think they’ve done a good job. Much better than the prequels – those were hard to watch with the terrible scripts and some bad casting decisions. The sequels have had a really good cast – Adam Driver is great, Oscar Isaac oozes charisma, and Daisy Ridley does well at holding everything together.

2. 10 of 18 for me. I think I would have done better but I did not pay attention to the timer and suddenly realized I had, like, 8 seconds left. Warning to anyone taking this – you have to answer quickly. Anyway, I enjoyed the break from family duties. Don’t box over there too much or at least, wear gloves before you get in the ring!

   • Boxing Day isn’t a thing in the US right? Makes sense to have a lot of public holidays around this time in NZ, as it’s summer (although weather is often weird around this time, much more settled in February and March).

     • No it’s not. It’s a Brit thing, yes?

       • Yes and we are a colony.

         • God Save the Queen!

         • That fascist regime.

         • Heh!

3. Happy Boxing Day! I got perfect score with 5 seconds to spare. I had done one of these at a office Christmas party so had the general concept although this was a bit easier with the matching aspect of it. Thanks for doing these each week – really enjoy them! Looking forward to 2020.

   • Great – looks like you’re in the lead so far. Hope you’re having a great Christmas!

4. Oh yeah, great insight into Frozen/Star Wars parallel – hadn’t thought of that before!

   • I had a search on the web and couldn’t see much discussion on it, although I didn’t look very hard.

5. SCORE
   18/18 SCORE with 2 seconds to go. It took Christmas for me to get a perfect score again lol. Have a great Christmas

   • Perfect score, and second fastest time so far. It’s already the 26th here, but have a great rest of Christmas!

     • Thanks!

6. Wow! Got them all with one second to spare!

   • Sounds like the most exciting Christmas since Die Hard! I’ve been listening to the Peanuts album by the way….

7. Oh and merry belated Christmas.

8. 18/18 with 1:03 left, I just looked at the last emoji and word to match. The ‘Mele Kalikimaka’ one is difficult though.

   • Wow – that’s a crazy fast time!

9. 18/18 with 1:03 left, I just linked up the last emoji and word up
   The Mele Kalikimaka one is difficult though.

10. No way! I topped a quiz week! Magic.
    I’ve never seen any of the Frozen flicks, though it wasn’t possible to escape the song a few years ago.
    Anyhoo, I scored 16 there before the time ran out.

    • Also, happy Boxing Day. I hope you had a great Christmas.

      • Yup it was good thank you – pretty low key with family. My wife’s family and my family all hang out together, which is nice.

    • I like the movie a whole lot better than the ‘Let It Go’ song. Some of the other songs are pretty funny, that one’s just a boring torch song.

11. If only I had an extra 15 seconds. If only I hadn’t driven nearly 10 hours yesterday from New York to North Carolina. If only this quiz had 14 clues instead of 18. Oh well, I will settle for 14/18. Hope you & your loved ones had a Merry Christmas. Happy New Year too.

    • Yup we are good, only a few hours of 2019 left to go.
