Another week and a new installment of The Nickel Quiz. This week we’re giving you lyrics to songs that feature a number in the title. Hint: If you add up the numbers contained in the titles of the five songs, the total will be 44.
As usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Googling):
- Correct Artist: 1 point
- Correct Song Title: 1 point
- Maximum Score: 10 points
- You and I have memories / Longer than the road / That stretches out ahead
- The valentines I never knew / The Friday night charades of youth / Were spent on one more beautiful
- Sweet things from Boston, so young and willing / Moved down to Scarsdale, where the hell am I?
- I poured it on and I poured it out / I tried to show you just how much I care
- It’s just no good anymore since you went away / Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
[Difficulty: ♫ ♫ / Four out of five dentists agree]
