Music Puzzle Number 2
Round 2 for those interested.
How are your music memories from the 50s, 60s and 70?
I did a number of questions (they were for crosswords) of music of the 50s to the 70s for our 50 year class reunion in 2016.
These have been redone without the “crossword look” for the reunion and are just straight up snippets of lyrics from some of the songs of that era. Some are easy, some aren’t so easy. The idea is to name the song based on the “snippet” of the lyrics. It went over very well with the classmates.
These lyrics are from the most popular versions as there were “covers” by other singers or groups that may have changed a few words. So if you disagree with an answer, it may be that you remember a different artist’s rendition.
I have 15 of these sheets but don’t know whether to post the answers WITH the posts or wait a day or two to add them or don’t even know if anyone wants anymore. Let me know what you think in the comments.
It might be best to highlight then copy the questions for printing at your leisure, or to try them out on some friends not on DU.
Of course, you can always “cheat” a little by looking up the lyrics on bing or google to get an answer. But that does take the fun out of it.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little diversion from the seriousness of today.
