Quiz #13
Welcome to the lucky 13th edition of
the Non-Madonna Lyrics Quiz of the Month.
Listed below, you'll find lyrics from 25 songs - your
challenge is to identify each of these tunes, and the
artists who performed them. The 25 songs are presented in
alphabetical order by the correct artist.
As is almost always the case, there's a theme that links
all 25 songs together - be sure to watch for it as you
identify the lyrics. I use correct identification of the
theme as the ultimate tie-breaker.
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 21st at 11:59 pm (eastern).
I'd appreciate if you didn't wait until the last minute -
that way I can get the entries scored and get the new
quiz out shortly after midnight.
I'm thinking about changing the
deadline and release time for these quizzes - if there's
any consensus about better times, I'd be happy to
consider it, so let me know.
Good luck!
