One of my daughter's high school classes asked kids to work in partners and come up with another verse to follow a verse they were given. My daughter & her partner were called up first. Since they were both in the music department, not only did they come up with a credible verse...but they SANG it! Nobody wanted to follow them. (Side note: my daughter is now in college, majoring in vocal performance.)
I thought it was "trouble in the Silhouettes" a misunderstanding between group members. Thought "Tricky Dick" would be in the quiz. At least once.
Ten out of ten. In a few cases it helps that the correct answer was the one that fit the rhythm best.
10/10 Way to go a perfect score I only wish I could get them more. I didn't know the lyrics to the song but you can figure out the right answers just by the time period of each question, plus a little bit of guess work!🙂
8 of 10....any guy who could get Christy brinkley to marry him, I've got to be s fan of.
Well anyway, a bottle of white. A bottle of red. Perhaps a bottle of rose instead.
