Welcome back to weekly music quiz. Congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti, who just pipped Jim for the fastest time in last week’s quiz.
This week you need to name the missing words in song title pairs.

I scored 22/24. The One Direction song was driving me crazy because I know their Sesame Street version but not the original. The kids loved Janelle Monae‘s Sesame Street song, and Youtube liked to play One Direction afterward. Can you beat my score?

21/24. The three I didn’t get – and still don’t recognize – I would never have gotten. No clue.
I got one just by putting in words that sounded plausible – probably how I got my extra 1.
20/24 right away, and then I gave up after trying to pound some random words in and hope for the best.
You made it to 20 anyway, so good effort.
I tied with Jim at 21/24. Can’t believe I missed the Zeppelin clue. FYI, your posts are not showing on my Wordpress Reader (or whatever that screen is called). Hope you get the kinks worked out with them soon.
Good score anyway. Thanks for letting me know about Reader – I seem to get some hits from it, but I don’t see my own posts in it so I don’t know what’s happening. I’ve tidied up most of the other jobs on the site that I needed to do, so I can get onto support about that. Thanks for dropping in anyway.
I got 24/24 with 2:53 remaining. I looked over all the clues before taking the quiz, which likely helped me.
Wow! Great score – not sure if anyone will beat you this week.
23/24 but that last one was pure luck.
Good effort though – you’re obviously more clued up on the pop hits than most of the contestants.
Not at all. Some of it was common sense, some was that I knew one of the two songs, and the last one was just plain luck.
23/24 – ‘Got…’ and ‘…on My Mind’ was the one I missed. I wanna ask if the website layout is still in redevelopment as it is a bit muddled for me.
Good score following on from last week’s win.
I need to work on the front page (it’s pretty weird on mobile especially atm), and I keep clearing the cache. What’s weird for you?
19 and four of those were linguistic guesses.
That’s some hot linguistic guessing!
22/24 here – I’ve not had my coffee yet but the two I missed I wouldn’t have got for all the beans in Colombia
22 is a good effort!
It’s the front page layout that is odd for me. Maybe it takes time to get used to.
I reworked it – still not very happy with it, but it should be more reliable on mobile.
Also when I reply to your comment, my comment is not placed under your comment and starts a new comment thread.
I noticed that too, I assume that’s the caching plugin doing that. I’ve mostly been focusing on having a fast site, then there are some other things to tidy up.
Missed some I shouldn’t have…. 20/24
You made it to 20 anyway.
Yea there was some I just didn’t know…obviously. It was fun though.
For some reason I can’t “like” the post. I got 16/24 and ran out of time. Even when answers popped up they didn’t look familiar.
Yup, the like button and the wordpress reader are both issues that I need to sort out.
19/24 and the ones I didn’t get I never would. Re: the new site I have to say I really like the look of it. Like others though I don’t think your posts are showing up in the Reader. However, you have trained me well to know that on Wednesday its quiz day and i look up your site (even if it takes til Friday. :)) and then many times stay a while checking out the other posts.
Thanks for checking in. I keep meaning to ask support about the reader, but there keep being other things to sort out.
Ok thanks. No problem. I also follow you on Twitter so gets alerts about new post that way as well.
21/24 on this one!
Good effort!
