The Nickel Quiz #17: Elvis

The Nickel QuizAre you lonesome tonight? Well, maybe this week’s Nickel Quiz will help. Each clue in this week’s quiz mentions the Hound Dog himself. So a little less conversation and a little more solving.

The year that each song was released is listed after the lyric as an extra clue. And, as usual, scoring is on the honor system (no Binging or Googling):

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