Great Lyrics Quiz
 

I received a link to this terrific lyrics quiz today.

Who knew that guessing a song would be so hard if you were given all the lyrics? They give you all the lyrics in alphabetical order, with no repeated words. Some are easier than others, depending on how unique the song's words are.

I got 23 out of 50; how did you do?

I started this, but realized I didn't have quite enough caffeine in my system when I missed the U2 song. I'll be back in a few cups.:coffee:

Made even harder if you're like me and are generally terrible with lyrics to begin with.

I can get some of the ones with stand-out words ("hedgerow" "colitas"), but generally suck.

I quit after 8 or so, when I was running 50/50.

Too frustrating for me. But it illuminated another facet of my brain. While I can reliably remember lyrics I've sung perhaps 3 times, as long as it's any time within the last 30 years .... I cannot reliably put them all together if they are re-arranged alphabetically.


Too bad it's not that that weird phenomena where, as long as there are correct consonents, you don't need the proper vowels to read words.

Well, I suck- only got 20. At least I knew all of the songs once identified.:rolleyes:

I got 14, but definitely could not identify most of the songs. Sorry :-\ (I mean, I knew of the artists and stuff as in I'd heard the name before, but not familiar with the song)

The Pop Candy blogger (who's extremely music-knowledgeable) said it was the hardest lyrics quiz she'd ever taken, and that she hardly got any right. I think 20 right is pretty great, wb...

I got the first one! :snap:

Now if ya wanna give me a similarly configured quiz with showtune lyrics, I may stand a chance.
