easy 100%…maybe use some more obscure one hit wonders next time?

Jill: Yes, that’s true. However (from Wikipedia, among other sources): “Basil’s crush on actor and Monkee Micky Dolenz during her work as a choreographer/dancer on the set of the Monkees 1968 movie, “Head” prompted her to change the lyrics to “Mickey” to better suit her real-life experience, and the gender from female to male.”

Close enough for you?

Okay, given I knew all the songs (the aural analogue of) sight unseen, this was another 10/10. In fact the Shakespear’s Sister one on quiz #1 was the only one I wasn’t familiar with. And what’s with the accusation that _Mambo No. 5_ was Lou Bega’s one hit? What’s that thing I hear in the trailer to _Fool’s Gold_? (No it’s not a Tricky question.) I’ll wait for something hard like state license plates.

100% Again! Give us a challenge! :-) Anyone over the age of 30 should know these songs. Heck – most of them are on my MP3 player right now!

10/10. And 10/10 on the first one, too. My brain was very moldable during those years . . .

100% Whoo Hoo!

I am also embarrassed to admit that I was a roadie for Wild Cherry in the late 70′s. They taught me (accidentally) that getting a college degree was essential.

100%. Should I be ashamed that 6 of these are on my iPod?

100%. Again with the ridiculous ease! Of course, my brain is 76% crappy song lyrics, with the other 24% taken up with actual, useful knowledge. If I could just delete some of the song lyrics from my brain (do I really need to know all the words to Rick Astley songs? Wait – yes I do), I’d be all set.

I’ve never gotten a straight 100% on a mental_floss quiz before today…

No, wait, I got a perfect on the “We Didn’t Start The Fire” quiz too…

Keep bringing the rock music quizzes!
