Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Freedom is just another word for 'nothing left to lose'"

Answer: 'Me and Bobby McGee' (Janis Joplin)

Janis Joplin's slightly different view of what 'Freedom' means. But, it was good enough for both Bobby McGee and Janis.
2. 'Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies'

Answer: 'Learning to Fly' (Pink Floyd)

Tom Petty's problem was that he didn't have wings. The Beatles did plenty of flying, but failed to put any words to their song, 'Flying'. The Steve Miller Band kept on 'slippin' slippin' slippin'. The only one out of these to stay air borne is Pink Floyd
3. 'There's a little black spot on the sun today'

Answer: 'King of Pain' (The Police)

There was Destruction, The Devil did it all, and shootings in self defense, but Sting was the King of Pain
4. 'What a field day for the heat! Thousands of people in the street.'

Answer: 'For What Its Worth' (Buffalo Springfield)

Out of the many songs written in the name of standing up in protest against certain parts of society, Buffolo Springfield put it quite nicely with the lyric: 'It starts when you're always afraid.'
5. 'Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, it's a mixed up world'

Answer: 'Lola' (The Kinks)

'Lola' it is. Just about the only song that isn't linked to any gender problem is 'Layla'.
6. 'Women seem wicked, when you're unwanted'

Answer: 'People Are Strange' (The Doors)

Oooh...those EEEVIL women!
7. When I see those guys these days, we just laugh and say, Remember when?

Answer: 'Cherry Bomb' (John Cougar Mellencamp)

Experience gives us the ability to recognize a mistake when we make it again.
8. 'One man betrayed with a kiss'

Answer: 'Pride' (U2)

This song was originally written for Martin Luther King, Jr.
9. 'Won't you lay me down in the tall grass'

Answer: 'Second Hand News' (Fleetwood Mac)

10. 'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy'

Answer: 'Love Bites' (Def Leppard)

11. 'Standin' on your mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait forever'

Answer: 'Summer of '69' (Bryan Adams)

'...and when I held your hand, I knew that it was now or never. Those were the BEST years of my life!'
12. 'He told me of a magic stream. His face was worn but his eyes were clear'

Answer: 'Steppin' In a Slide Zone' (The Moody Blues)

13. 'I pray every single day for a revolution'

Answer: 'What's Up' (4 Non Blondes)

Yep, considering 'Revolutionary' songs from the past, 4 Non Blondes sure came up with quite the original idea. 'Hey, let's write a song about a revolution!'
14. 'She's got something that moves my soul, and she knows, I'd love to love her'

Answer: 'Temptation Eyes' (The Grass Roots)

15. 'But now she sucks her thumb and wanders by the banks of her own lagoon'

Answer: 'She Came In Through the Bathroom Window' (The Beatles)

...part of your complete music lyrics quiz.
16. 'Run! Run! Run! Run!'

Answer: 'Run Like Hell' (Pink Floyd)

From the soundtrack 'Pink Floyd - The Wall'
17. 'You can stand me up at the gates of Hell'

Answer: 'I Won't Back Down' (Tom Petty)

18. 'It's hard to get by just upon a smile'

Answer: 'Wild World' (Cat Stevens)

Sorry, Cat, but smiling just don't pay the bills. :)
19. I decided I'd throw in two tricky ones. I'll understand if you don't get these next ones. 'He may have money and a brand new car. May even treat you like a movie star.'

Answer: 'Getchya Back' (The Beach Boys)

This one WAS kind of tough. Not a really well known single by the Beach Boys, but a good one, nonetheless. I still prefer 'Good Vibrations' to all their other hits.
20. 'She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes'

Answer: 'Let's Go' (The Cars)

Thanks for taking the quiz! Hope you had a small amount of fun!
