Some of you may recall my music podcast, Suitcase Full of Dimes, but I haven’t put a new episode out in a very long time. Initially, the intention of this blog was to continue the podcast. However, plans changed, time continued to move in a forward direction, and suddenly it was five years later.
Instead I’ll be using this blog to periodically post a music quiz of some sort. Periodically, because, besides my day job, I’m also working as the editor-in-chief of National Pasquinade (e)magazine, which can be very time-consuming. I need more sleep.
This first installment features five sets of lyrics that begin each song in question.
Scoring is on the honor system (no Googling):
- Correct Artist: 1 point
- Correct Song Title: 1 point
- Maximum Score: 10 points
- Home in the valley / Home in the city / Home isn’t pretty / Ain’t no home for me
- I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
- I never thought it would happen / With me and the girl from Clapham
- I was searchin’ on a one-way street / I was hopin’ for a chance to meet
- Here come Johnny singing oldies, goldies
