Match Artist and Song Trivia Questions
1. Which band performs 'Fox on the Run'?

From Quiz Song and Artist Match

Answer: Sweet

Not many people have heard of the 70's band Sweet.

2. This artist was primarily most popular in the eighties era, but I still love him just as much today as I did then. Some of his most popular songs include "Don't Talk to Strangers," "Love Somebody," and "Human Touch" to name just a few. Who is he?

From Quiz Songs to Artists Match Quiz

Answer: Rick Springfield

Most known for his song, "Jessie's Girl," and his soap opera character, 'Dr. Noah Drake' from "General Hospital," Rick Springfield is indeed my teenage idol! I got to see Rick in concert three times back when I was a teenager and have seen him twice in my adulthood. In my opinion, Rick has only gotten better with age, and he's now able to interact with his audiences on a more personal level. For example, girls are now invited up on stage to help him sing the song "I Get Excited," and he also walks around within the crowd giving fans a rememberable high-five or hug, and sometimes some may even get to give Rick an occasional kiss on the cheek.

3. Which band performs 'Paranoid'?

Ozzy was a part of Black Sabbath when they performed that song.

"I Love Rock 'n' Roll" is probably Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' most known and remembered song. In 1982, it hit #1 on the Billboard charts and stayed there for a total of seven weeks. "I Hate Myself For Loving You" is another well-known remembered song that has been released onto six different albums of theirs. They include: "Up Your Alley," "Do You Wanna Touch Me," (of which also includes the song of the same name that is amongst another favorite loved by fans) "Great Hits," "Fit to be Tied: Great Hits," the "Striptease" movie soundtrack, and "USA." The song "Light of Day" is from the movie of the same name, released in 1987, that Joan Jett herself starred in along with Michael J. Fox. All the songs listed here can all be found together on Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "Fit to be Tied: Great Hits" album along with other such songs as "Crimson and Clover," "Bad Reputation," and a personal favorite of mine entitled "Little Liar."
