Tonight I created a pop quiz by mistake.
One thing I've found running quizzes before is that it's often hard to strip out the intonation from when you're quoting lyrics. The words either don't work any way other than the rhythm of the song, or just by accident you find you've accidentally said po-po-po-poker in a way that couldn't be Leonard Cohen. Posting lyrics on Twitter totally erases anything but the pure poetry that is the songs of Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
The answers are below, for anyone who played along:
1)I'm sorry son but we don't stock party gimmicks in this shop try X its quicker if you run this is a chemists
House of Fun by Madness
2)Like a river flows surely to the sea. Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Can't help falling in Love by Elvis Presley
3)The coffin bangers were about to arrive with their vocal group the crypt digger 5
Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Picker
4) He was reminded that Dr Oppenheimer's optimism fell at the first hurdle
Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards Lyrics by Billy Bragg
5)You are my daily meat
You've got the love by Candi Statton & the source
6)Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards. I don't want the weekend to end
Friday by Rebecca Black (Apparently, I've never heard it)
7)You gotta take your time. You gotta say what you say. Don't let anybody get in your way
Roll with it by Oasis
8)He waves to greet them. Maybe? You can never be sure
Postman Pat by Postman Pat
9)Hey you, what do you see? Something beautiful, something free? Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson
10)So I must go to las Vegas or Monaco. And win a fortune in a game
