Answer: Creep

"Creep" was the seventh track off STP's debut album, "Core". It went to number two in the US in 1994. No, it was not done by Nirvana, no matter what you find on the Internet. You can't believe everything you read on the web.

2. This lively song by the Spin Doctors, off their "Pocket Full of Kryptonite" album, had the following chorus: "Said, if you...want to call me baby (just go ahead, now) And if you... like to tell me maybe (just go ahead, now) If you... wanna buy me flowers (just go ahead, now) And if you... like to talk for hours (just go ahead, now)" What's this royal song's title?

Answer: Two Princes

Released in 1993, "Two Princes" was the Spin Doctors' most successful song, reaching number seven in the US and number two in Canada. The song opens with:

"One, two, princes kneel before you
(that's what I said, now)
Princes, princes who adore you
(just go ahead, now)"

3. This breakthrough song for Nirvana in early 1992 is credited with introducing much of the world to so-called alternative rock.

Answer: Smells Like Teen Spirit

Released in late 1991 off their album, "Nevermind", the song propelled Nirvana and their alternative "grunge" sound into the mainstream. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 1992.

The incorrect choices are all songs off the same album.

4. In the 1990s, Australian pop duo Savage Garden released a song that went like this: "I want to stand with you on a mountain. I want to bathe with you in the sea. I want to lay like this forever, Until the sky falls down on me..." What song was this 1997 hit?

Answer: Truly Madly Deeply

"Truly Madly Deeply" went to number one in January 1998 on Billboard's Hot 100. It was the third single released off of Savage Garden's first album, entitled "Savage Garden". It was released after "I Want You" and "To the Moon and Back". The other incorrect choice was also a single from the same album.

5. Hailing from Stockbridge, Georgia, USA, the band, Collective Soul, released a song with the following lyrics: "Don't scream about, don't think aloud Turn your head now baby just spit me out. Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt Turn your head now baby just spit me out." What 1995 hit was this?

Answer: December

"December" was written by Collective Soul's singer/guitarist Ed Roland for their second album, "Collective Soul" (sometimes called the "Blue Album") which went triple Platinum. The song peaked at number one on the Mainstream Hot Tracks chart.

6. Blessid Union Of Souls had a big hit with the following: "She don't care about my car She don't care about my money And that's real good because I don't got a lot to spend But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'" What's the song's titanic title?

Answer: Hey Leonardo

Released in 1999, from the band's third album, "Walking Off the Buzz", the song reached only number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100, though it seemed to get a lot of air play to me! A hint to the song's title is found in the lyrics:

"She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in 'Fargo'
I think his name is Steve."

7. Third Eye Blind had a hit with a song that went like this: "I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend. You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in And if you do not want to see me again I would understand I would understand I would understand..." What's the name of this hit?

Answer: Jumper

Third Eye Blind released "Jumper" in 1997 from their debut album, called "Third Eye Blind". It seems clear that the singer was trying talk a friend out of committing suicide. The writer of the song, Stephan Jenkins, had lost a friend to suicide earlier.

The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

8. In 1998, the Goo Goo Dolls released this song: "I don't want the world to see me 'cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. I just want you to know who I am..." Have you eyed the title of this song?

Answer: Iris

Originally written for the soundtrack of 1998's film "City of Angels", the song was later included on the band's sixth album "Dizzy Up the Girl". "Iris" achieved number one status on several Billboard charts, and received two nominations at the 41st Grammy Awards.

9. Green Day had a song in 1997 with the following lyrics: "Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test, and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life." The song was referred to by several different names - one of these names was "Time of your Life". What was the other name?

Answer: Good Riddance

"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", was also called "Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)" and more commonly the simple "Time of Your Life". Written in 1994 the song was not released until Green Day's third major-label album "Nimrod" in 1997.

The song's melancholy theme made it perfect for a poignant, season-four scene in the NBC series, ER, in which a young boy was dying. It was also used as the farewell music at the end of the final series episode of NBC's "Seinfeld".

10. The one-hit-wonder, 4 Non Blondes had their one hit in 1993 with this song: "And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath And I get real high And I scream at the top of my lungs What's going on? And I say, hey yay ya-ay-ay, hey yay yay I said hey, what's going on?" What's the name of the song, Doc?

Answer: What's Up?

The band avoided naming the song after the line, "What's Going On?" as they feared it would be confused with the 1971 R&B song and album "What's Going On", by Marvin Gaye.
