This week, all the lyrics in The Nickel Quiz are by a single artist or band. We’re keeping the name of this artist or band a secret. If you can determine just one song’s original artist or band, that’s an automatic five points. Well, actually it’s six points. The year each song was released has been included in parenthesis as a bonus clue.
As usual, scoring is on the honor system (do not Ask Jeeves):
- Mystery Artist: 5 points
- Correct Song Title: 1 point
- Maximum Score: 10 points
