Graham Nash Songs for Beginners

Music Quiz: History in Song

Congratulations to Rich and Tony who both scored 25/25 in last week’s music video quiz.

This week’s quiz requires you to identify the song based on the historical event that it profiles.

I scored 19/25. The first few clues I got were all from my music collection, but then I ran into some tricky ones. I’m sure some of you can best me.

  1. Man, I sucked at this one, 12/25. I shouldn’t do these tests first thing in the morning, apparently! I loved the quiz’ backhanded positive encouragement though, “You are in the sweet spot between really awesome and not awesome.” Well, thanks! Haha

  2. Oooft. 12 for me. Certainly a couple I should have got when I got to the end and the reveal. Guess that’s what happens when you don’t utilise the ‘next’ button (though it would only have increased the score to 15).
