The Independence Day holiday is fast approaching. Fireworks, flags, and fun for all. This week’s installment of The Nickel Quiz features lyrics for songs that include “America” in the song’s title or the band’s name.
As usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Googling):
- Correct Artist: 1 point
- Correct Song Title: 1 point
- Maximum Score: 10 points
- Take a look at my girlfriend / She’s the only one I got
- She spent her twenties between the sheets / And life limped along at subsonic speeds
- I’ve been one poor correspondent / And I’ve been too, too hard to find / But it doesn’t mean you ain’t been on my mind
- You were the apple of the public’s eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall
- Hot-shot, give me no problems / Much later, baby, you’ll be saying never mind / You know life is cruel, life is never kind
[Difficulty: ♫ ♫ / Medium Rare]
Starting this week, answers will be posted at the end of the following week’s quiz.
