The Nickel Quiz #28: Time Out

The Nickel Quiz

In this final Nickel Quiz of 2016, we could have quizzed you on songs from the previous twenty-seven weeks. Instead, this one’s simply about time.

You’ll find the word time in each song title. 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
