Quiz, lets work the brain

Postby Holly » Fri Mar 01, 2024 9:52 am

Find the SONG TITLE and the ARTIST.
No googling please, that's cheating.


1. I got my first real six string. Bought it at the 5 and dime.

2. It's 9 o clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in.

3. Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.

4. Sitting in the morning sun, I'll be sitting when the evening comes.

5. Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy.

6. The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling way down in the valley tonight.

7. I work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay. Aint it sad.

8. Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy.

9. Turn around. Every now and then I get a little bit lonely.

10. And he drove the fastest milk cart in the West.

11. People try to put us down, just because we get around.

12. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair.

13. I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.

14. All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey.

15. Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today.

My baby don’t call me…

Politicians hide themselves away…

Come fill me again…

Sha la la lala lala lala…

Picks up the rice in the church…

Non non non regret…

Is this the real life…
