Pop Quiz

Lines from songs you ought to know.
5 points for the song title, 2 points for any recognisable band that sang it.
Please put your answers in a 'spolier' so others can't see them.

I'll post the answers late on Sunday
No cheating now

Answers below. The artists are less important than the song title as I'm sure all of these wil have been covered by valid groups or artists at some point
If there's any interest, I'll do another pop related quiz next week.

I'll second that despite my poor showing!!

[myglaren]

Not too disappointed. Of those I passed there was only one I should have known, the Money For Nothing one.
As it mentions drums I would have ignored it. Drums are boring.

[bobins]

Might be varying formats on subsequent quizzes :
Name the year of the Number 1.
All the same band, but name the song.
First lines.
etc, etc.
I'll see what takes my fancy

Worldle , Wordle, Nerdle,
Heardle

Worldle 531 km away....and a fail. Thought that was going to be an open goal for me but I had 6 shots and missed every time! The goal is gaping still for anyone else to tap it in , 3, 3, and heardle...got very close through a bit of creative thinking. Got the right letter for the artist, spelling was nearly the same and I had never heard of them but it was wrong song wrong artist but a good effort.

An average day on the rdles for me, 4, 5 (could have been 4 with more luck!), 4 (could have been 3 with more luck!!), and no hope which is average for my heardle!!

Worldle , Wordle, Nerdle,
Heardle

Worldle 654 km away....and a fail. Funny how tiny insignificant principalities look the size of Brazil on the "blot" , 3 on wordle, 5 on nerdle, and heardle...got it in 4 seconds. Again a song with hundreds of millions of views on you tube, from world wide big hitter artists so had a chance.


Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

My best combined score so far on the rdles today with a hatrick of 3's!! Usual miserable failure on the Heardle though but at least I've heard of him!!:

Worldle 382 km away....and a fail.
Wordle 5,
Nerdle 4
Heardle...a minor enquiry with the full 16 seconds at my disposal, and I picked the right song from the drop-down list, again a popular music big hitter.

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

Started the rdles with a bullseye and then a pair of bad golf shots to finish with my usual complete blow out on the heardle!!

Spoiler: show

Worldle,Wordle,Nerdle,Heardle

Worldle bullseye too...a very characteristic shape for the ink blot
Wordle 4,
Nerdle 4
Heardle...got it again with 16 seconds and sounds like Evanescence clue. Searched "bands like Evanescence", and at number 10 was the correct band. Put their name into the Heardle search box and a few of their songs came up, second one tried was the right one.
