Music Quiz: Complete the Lyrics (Classic Rock)

38 Comments

1. 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!

2. 14/15. Blew it on AC/DC. Otherwise, world’s easiest quiz.

   • Great work!

3. SCORE
   15/15
   TIMER
   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

4. 13/15 missed Boston and AC/DC. Dangit!

   • Good work!

5. 15. 4:04 left

   • Perfect score, thanks for playing!

6. I got 11/15

   • Thanks for playing!

7. 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!

8. 12/15. Not that great, but not too bad either.

   • A solid B+.

9. 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

10. 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!

11. 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.

12. Lmao. I always questioned that line though cuz Dixieland music isn’t funky. Too old-timey sounding to be funky.
