Another week and another installment of The Nickel Quiz. This week were looking up to the sky and trying to figure out if that brightly-colored streak is an exotic bird or a scheduled Jet Blue flight. You’ll find the name of a superhero in each song’s lyrics or title.
As usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Googling):
- Correct Artist: 1 point
- Correct Song Title: 1 point
- Maximum Score: 10 points
- You don’t tug on Superman‘s cape / You don’t spit into the wind
- Heavy boots of lead / Fills his victims full of dread
- Hold it now and watch the hoodwink / As I make you stop, think / You’ll think you’re looking at Aquaman
- Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise / So Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes
- Captain America‘s been torn apart / Now he’s a court jester with a broken heart
[Difficulty: ♫ ♫ / Lyrics of steel]
