In this week’s Nickel Quiz, there should be no doubt that these are songs. Because “song” is in the title of each song. The year that the song was released is listed after each lyric 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
- Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical (1979)
- How soft your fields so green can whisper tales of gore of how we calmed the tides of war (1970)
- I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss (1970)
- We could make a record, sell a lot of copies. We could play Las Vegas and be very happy (1972)
- Then the band slowed the tempo and the music took me down. It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound. (1981)
