1. Wow, you really flew threw this one. It’s hard to imagine anyone beating your time. I matched your perfect score but with 3:48 left on the clock. I probably knew 20 of them and the others were educated guesses.

   • It’s pretty fun doing the last ones and trying to fit them in each sentence!

2. Woo! 26 with 3 seconds remaining!

   • Cutting it fine!

3. 26/26, 5:02 left. I sailed through the first round, the second time through were educated it-can’t-be-anything-else guesses.

   • Saiiiilong, takes me awaaaay!

     • Your sense of humor must wow them at kids’ parties.

       • I cut down on the Christopher Cross references for those.

         • Jack up the Taylor Swift and Cardi B ones

         • Old Town Road was huge at my kids’ school disco last week.

         • I’m glad I’m past the stage in life where I’m exposed to music I don’t wanna hear. I suppose that will recur when/if I have grandkids.

4. Woo hoo
   SCORE
   26/26
   TIMER
   00:09

   • Max/Max.

5. 26! With 315 to go

   • Everyone’s on 100% so far – I didn’t think it was that easy!

     • I think I knew about half & relied on rhyming/logic the rest of the way

6. When I read the names of artists I’ve never even heard of, my heart sank. But by dint of a process of elimination and trusting the rules of grammar, ended up with the identical score and time to Geoff. 26 with 3:15 to go.

   • You guys may need to cut the prize in half this week.

7. 20/26 this time. Probably could have got a few more right as they were quite logical

   • Again English as second language probably doesn’t help, right? I did the same thing other people have mentioned – getting the ones I knew, then trying to fit the others into the sentence.

     • I can’t keep using that excuse 🙂 It’s ok not being the best.

8. Don’t worry, it wasn’t easy at least not for me. I struggled immensely and I am blaming it on it being too early. I am not posting my score as it won’t win unless we are going for lowest. If so, let me know as I might win that one.

   • I was amazed at all the 100%s. I wonder if you could make a Sporcle quiz where the aim’s to score as low as possible.

     • I am sure there is.

9. Nope. Complete fail. 18/26. Apparently, the words escaped ms

   • I don’t know if I’d call that a complete fail – more like an uncharacteristic under-performance.

10. 26/26 with a little over 5:10 left to go

    • Ooh, fast time!

      • Caffeine charged. Surprised myself and got lucky with a few guesses having left the unknowns to the end

11. 24 of 26 – couple of dumb mistakes kept me from perfect score.

    • A great way to honour Springsteen’s 70th.

12. Interesting quiz — got the first two wrong, but did much better after that — not familiar with many of these songs.
