Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
From last week’s TV Jingles, we travel from boob tube to silver screen for this week’s soundbite quiz: Songs from the Movies. Think you know which songs were popularized by which movies? Prove it. And once you get your score, come on back and let us know how well you did.
Wow, I aced it! I knew I could do the TV jingles, but I’m not a movie buff. I must be better at pop culture than I thought.

100%, not bad for someone who has NOT seen all these movies!

100% — of course it helped that some of the titles were listed… “Theme from Rocky” hee hee

Got 100 percent, as well. But at least four of them have the movie title as a lable on the sound clip!

100%. The only time I broke a sweat was with Midnight Cowboy vs. Butch & Sundance. I guess I confise Harry and Engelbert(?).

100% - the song from Caddyshack was the only I didn’t recognize in the least. Now doing clips of movie scores - that would really be a challenge!

Sadly, 100%. I got Pretty in Pink by process of elimination. Now I’ll try the commercial jingles…anything to avoid cleaning and grocery shopping!
