Twenty total points possible. You should name the artist if possible but if it is a correct song title you won't lose any points. For the first three questions, "Rainy" or "Raining" or some other form of "rain" is acceptable, but "rainbow" is not. For question #6, a compound word containing "thunder" as one of its parts is acceptable (which means I just gave a REALLY BIG CLUE). You shouldn't use your Google-fu, but how will I know if you do? I will post my answers in the comments on Sunday (so you have time to come up with good answers).
I'm really really bad at music trivia. I'll play next week. Because I'm really bad at music trivia
ReplyDeleteok. next week it is. i am trying to think up a topic -- it will probably be memorial day or summertime related.
ReplyDeleteI might have to Google the years of the songs, but I already have some in mind "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage is one. I think it was from the 90's but I'm sorry... I have to check.

I only got help with one answer, which is why the last one is incomplete. Sam gave me the Thundersruck answer.
ReplyDelete1. Laughter in the Rain – Neil Sedaka
Rainy Days and Mondays – The Carpenters
Fire And Rain – James Taylor
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head was from the 60's. I came up with that one too but googled it and saw the decade.
2. It’s Raining Men – The Weather Girls (Wikipedia says it was recorded in 1982, though written in 1979. I deserve credit).
Blame it on the Rain – Milli Vanilli
I With it Would Rain Down – Phil Collins
I Love a Rainy Night – Eddie Rabbitt (in case you disqualify Milli Vanilli)
Bonus: I Made It Through The Rain – Barry Manilow
3. November Rain – GNR
Only Happy When it Rains- Garbage
Rain King – Counting Crows
4. Stormy Weather
The Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful – Jimmy Buffett
5. Like a Hurricane – Neil Young

6. Thunder Road- Bruce Springsteen (see Thunder Rolls above?)
Thunderstruck – AC/DC
7. Lightning Crashes – Live
Greased Lightning
8. September
Let’s Groove Tonight
That’s all I got. I refuse to cheat and Google stuff, though I will say that I did Google the years on some of the songs, so I think I got the decades right.
Oops... For Number 2 above, I meant "I WISH It Would Rain Down". My typing must have had a lisp!
ReplyDeleteTina -- You are starting to frighten me. 13 of 20 of your answers match mine EXACTLY, and you have two answers I almost used. I will do "the big reveal" tomorrow in case Jaime wants to try.
ReplyDelete"The big reveal"... do you watch Ghosthunters by chance? Or did you get that from somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteonly EVERY SINGLE reality show ever made. why, no, i am NOT really using my writing for TV degree ...
ReplyDeleteWe did mean Thunder Rolls not Thunder Road...Thunder Rolls is a Tim McGraw song.
ReplyDeleteOoops... my bad! Knowing Rachel's large love of country music... I'm wondering if she knew that. I certainly didn't!
ReplyDeletei know a song called "thunder rolls" that is by garth brooks and it has a domestic violence theme. beyond that, if it isn't dolly parton or johnny cash or dixie chicks or nickel creek or the occasional emmylou harris or allison krause or maybe two linda ronstadt songs, then it probably isn't any country music i want anything to do with. sorry, but i am not much of a fan of goat-roping music.
