Happy Valentines day (it’s already February 14 in New Zealand). Congratulations to hanspostcard from https://slicethelife.com/, who high scored with 27/30 in last week’s Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper.
This week’s quiz requires you to figure out whether 24 different songs are about running, jumping, or walking.

I scored 21/24. All the questions I got wrong were from the 1990s – I’m not really up with the play on Blues Traveler or Third Eye Blind. How did you score?

Terrible… 18/24… The newer ones I guessed and it showed.
We’ll see how everyone else gets on.
Well that sucked. 17/24. Never heard of a bunch of ’em, almost every guess was wrong.
Our highest score so far is 18, so we’ll see how it shakes out.
Well, for me it shakes out that I lose. 🙂
23/24. A lot of very very luck guesses though.
Great score! Thought you were going to top this week but looks like Geoff has topped you.
That darned Geoff!
You would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids.
17/24
Good effort.
16 – There’s a part of me that thinks I should know more about post-2000 pop. A tinsy-winsy part that I can happily ignore. Chris
I enjoy modern pop music but I suspect having two young daughters helps. It’s modern mainstream rock that’s totally out of steam IMO.
22 for me which was better than I thought I’d do. Some lucky guesses mind you.
Great effort!
24 – thanks to some fortunate 2000s guesses!
Imagine if there was a cycling category. You might have scored 120%
I would have at least known Queen’s contribution to that category!
21. 1/45 on the clock. Think maybe I got stuck on the same ones you did.
Sounds like it.
22 for me. Two bad guesses.
But still a great score – you beat me!
That doesn’t happen very often.
24/24 today, I like a good quick-fire one. Can’t help but think as his hips get as shot as his voice DLR might start singing “Walk”
Are you familiar with the Walk of Life Project?
Joining Geoff at the top. I wasn’t familiar with the walk of life project, but just looked it up now. It’s not my favourite Dire Straits song, but it is a very pretty and softly building intro, so I can see how it works.
It’s far from my favourite Dire Straits song but I love the idea
22/24 for me with a few lucky but educated guesses and a few unlucky & uneducated guesses.
You beat me, which is the most important thing.
21 of 24 – couple lucky guesses and several no idea. Respectable this week.
Good effort, doctor.
24/24/ 2:05 1 good guess
Another 24 – great work!
