Quiz #12
Live, it's NMLQOTM #12!
Listed below are 25 new challenges to your name-that-tune
skill. As always, I've helped you along by ordering the
lyrics alphabetically by their respective artists.
All 25 of these songs are new to the NMLQOTM - one of our
rules stipulates that the same recording will not
reappear for at least 20 consecutive quizzes. You can
find an alphabetical list of all previously used
recordings in the Song Library.
There is a common theme underlying all 25 songs in this
quiz. If the outcome of this quiz were to end in a tie,
players who identified the theme would be ranked ahead of
any others who did not. Happy hunting.
If you are new to the NMLQOTM - or
even if you've played a while now - it's always helpful
to review the official rules. Note that
precision counts when it comes to scoring the submissions
- be sure to give the exact song title and the exact
artist attribution for each song; dot your "i"s
and cross your "t"s! Watch your p's, q's,
commas and "the"s!
The submission deadline for this
quiz will be Friday, April 7th at 11:59 pm (eastern).

And these are the arms
That long to lock you inside
Every day and every night

Would have been a major attraction
With no other thing
Offering a note of distraction
