Interlude – Quiz (Music)

After some back and forth in the comments to my last post, I thought it would be interesting to unearth a quiz I created around 15 years ago.

These are all lines from songs in the period 1970-2000.  Some are Australian, but the vast majority are from hit songs known worldwide at the time of their release.

Enjoy, and we’ll be back to Lone Wolf before you know it!
