[+1] - Casino Joe - 08/28/2006I got 90% on the 60's one with the comment "an elderly relative could do better!" Made me feel great it did! :lol:

[+1] - Letty - 08/28/2006hey, smorgs. Just wanted to make a comment. One of the answers was wrong concerning the Beatles. They did do: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Writer, lead vocal: Paul McCartney Just double checked...
[+1] - Lord Ellpus - 08/28/2006100% on the sixties, I'm afraid to say. Letty, "Marmalade" were the group to have a hit (in the UK, that is) with Ob la di, even though the Beatles may have written it. Maybe it was...
[+1] - sozobe - 08/28/2006Way too brit-centric! (I tried the 80's, got 40%. Phooey.)
[+1] - Letty - 08/28/2006Thanks, Ellpus. Although the test was designed for fun, like many of our standardized tests here, the choices are ambiguous. That's why I give them a jaundiced eye. (whatever that means) <smile>
[+1] - mac11 - 08/28/200660% for the 60s 70% for the 70s 70% for the 80s 60% for the 90s I did great on questions about movies the songs were in. Loved the Dante question. (What does that have to do with music?)

hey, smorgs. Just wanted to make a comment.

One of the answers was wrong concerning the Beatles. They did do:

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Writer, lead vocal: Paul McCartney

Just double checked it. Neat test, however.

100% on the sixties, I'm afraid to say.

Letty, "Marmalade" were the group to have a hit (in the UK, that is) with Ob la di, even though the Beatles may have written it. Maybe it was the Beatles that made a success with it in the States?

Not chart positions stuff - who knows/cares what was a hit where you're not.

And Animal Nitrate should have been Suede's biggest hit.

60s 85
70s 85
80s 55
80s 50

(guess which decade I stopped listening to pop?)

I sucked so bad at every decade but the sixties that I gave up on all the rest. Got 95% on the sixties though!
