The Nickel Quiz #12: At the Zoo

The Nickel QuizWe’re taking you kids on a field trip this week to the zoo. The titles of each of these five songs in this week’s Nickel Quiz will contain the name of an animal. I’ve also added the year the song was released as an extra clue.

As usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Googling):

  • Correct Artist: 1 point
  • Correct Song Title: 1 point
  • Maximum Score: 10 points
