Here is another music quiz. Below are 21 lines from songs.
For each song, name an artist which recorded the song, the album
on which it was released, the name of the song, and the writer
of the song, or as much of the above as you can manage. Some are
pretty obscure. At least one has been covered by a large number of
artists.
