The Nickel Quiz #20: Home

The Nickel QuizIt’s November and November is all about Homecoming. The titles in this week’s Nickel Quiz contain home-y words.

The year that each song was released is listed after the lyric as an extra clue. And, as usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Binging or Googling):

  • Correct Artist: 1 point
  • Correct Song Title: 1 point
  • Maximum Score: 10 points
