You know when you’re so tired that the alarm clock goes off at 6AM and you’d swear you only just closed your eyes? The answers to this week’s Nickel Quiz all revolve around that drowsy feeling. How many will you get right before the Sandman sprinkles his beach dirt in your eye sockets?
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
