Music Quiz: Jim and James

1. 19/19. Phew! The pressure was on. It advised me that I, “Nailed it! Take a victory lap.” I will at least tie if not win the (rock) Tony award. I took a page from his book and not only guessed (on about 4) but really thought about my guesses. BTW, Jimmy Mack is one of the tunes. Not giving anything away by saying that. But boy, that is one of the great old tunes from the Motown era.

   • I think you’re the only 19 so far!

     • I’ve since been tied. Forgot to take note of my time so I can’t report it.

2. A lowly 17/19 for me this week. No excuses, although I should get bonus points for knowing the MMJ artwork (and Jim James reference).

   • You’re the only person to spot the MMJ so far, so good work!

3. 15-19, way back in the pack

   • I don’t know what the most common score is yet – we’ll see.

4. 17/19. Made some silly mistakes though.

   • Must be only two silly mistakes.

5. 17/19 for me.

   • Good solid score!

6. 18/19 pour moi

   • Puts you in second!

7. 19 with 2:56 left on the clock. Oh yeah.

   • There’s a band playing on the radio
     And it’s drowning the sound of my tears

8. 19/19 4:25 – I guessed right on a few.

   • 100%!

9. 19 though I was waiting in vain for a My Morning Jacket lyric to come up. Z sits in my all-time top ten

   • I don’t think Jim James is that self-referential.

10. 16 for me this week. I’ll take that!

    • Great!

11. 17/19… Should I be mortified I got the Nickelback one right??

    • I got it right too. I make fun of them too, but I don’t know that I’ve ever actually heard them.
