5 out of 10. Well, the ones I guessed wrong were songs I wasn't familiar with. Besides, I'm old enough that these were songs I liked - not my dad! His music was the Big Band stuff from the 1940's -what he listened to as a teenager.

My dad was the same generation as yours (born in 1931). I still remember riding in the car and listening to Jerry Vale, Al Martino and Engelbert Humperdinck on the 8-teack player.

7 of 10. I though this was supposed to be about "Dad songs"... where are the Frank Zappa and Grateful Dead songs/questions? Real dads didn't listen to Earth, Wind & Fire, and most didn't listen to Billy Joel, either, although we eventually learned that Billy Joel was a pretty cool guy, 'cuz he's bigtime into motorcycles.

"You got 5 out of 10. Tough luck, kiddo!"

Oh yeah? Well do you guys know the lyrics to Bonanza? Then were summoned by Tim Meadows
from the audience to sing it at Second City in Chicago while the comics then improvised
new lyrics to it? So who needs Styx?

You got 10 out of 10 - Way to go, sport! Educated guess on #2 (never a big Steely Dan fan) and guessed correctly.

10 for 10. Certainly not my dad's songs. Some aren't even my songs!

That’s kind of what I was thinking, about my dad’s songs. Where was Willie Nelson? Freddie Fender? Marty Robbins? 😆

You got 7 out of 10. The 3 I got wrong were songs I've never heard or even heard of. I never listen to EWF. I just hate horns.

Same-my dad liked Jazz and swing. I listened to many of these bands in my youth so I have no excuses I got 6/10. But it has been a long time.
