Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Which Song Is It
That cant be the title can it Part 1 game quiz
"The titles of most popular songs can often be guessed from the repeated words of the chorus - not these! Do you know which not-so-obvious titles go with these lyrics?"

15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  



1. A Creedence Clearwater Revival classic from 1969, many might identify it as "Rolling on the River". What is its title, actually?
    Big Ship
    Loud Gracie
    Red Fire
    Proud Mary


2. Released by the R&B band "War" in 1975, this song shot to #1 on the Billboard R&B charts. Its catchy lyrics, "Take a little trip, Take a little trip, Take a little trip and see" are nothing like its title. What is the song's correct title?
    High Rider
    Red Rider
    Slow Rider
    Low Rider


3. Probably one of the most recognizable of the mis-identified songs, this 1971 hit by "The Who" had the line "Teenage wasteland" repeated many times. Of course, the title is something entirely different. What is it?
    Green Onions
    Baba O'Riley
    Green Earrings
    Baby O'Keefe


4. Dire Straits released this song in 1985 and it went on to be their biggest hit. Sting added the very catchy background vocals, singing, "I want my, I want my, I want my MTV" but the title is something completely different. What is it?
    All For Free
    Lazy Man
    Money for Nothing
    No Sweat


5. This song was incorrectly identified so often that it was literally renamed, adding the subtitle of "The Piņa Colada Song". What is its original title?
    Escape
    The Breakup
    Rain
    With Me


6. In 1969, rumored to coincide with the launch of Apollo 11, David Bowie released a song about a fictional astronaut. "Ground Control to Major Tom" was heard several times through out the song, but the title is not to be found anywhere in the lyrics. What is the name of this song?
    Space Oddity
    Orbiting Dream
    Rocket Man
    Lift Off


7. The lines

"I love the flower girl"
"I knew - I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew - she could make me happy - happy, happy"

are often cited as the title of this 1967 song by the "The Cowsills", but that's not the case. What is this song's true title?
    The Rain, the Park, and Other Things
    She Seemed So Sweet and Kind
    She Simply Caught My Eye
    She Crept Into My Mind


8. Here's a well known chorus from a 1968 song:

"Someone left the cake out in the rain.
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again!"

Unfortunately, the title has nothing to do with cake. What's the correct title?
    MacArthur Airport
    Islip MacArthur
    MacArthur Park
    Islip Park


9. The band, "Emerson, Lake and Palmer", were quite popular, especially in the early 1970s and probably one of their best known lyrics was:

We're so glad you could attend!
Come inside! Come inside!"

What song were those lyrics from?
    From the Beginning
    Karn Evil 9
    Lucky Man
    Take a Pebble


10. In 1977, Billy Joel released a song with the following opening lyrics:

"A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I, face to face."

What was this song's title?
    Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
    Brenda and Eddie
    Chianti on the Table
    Old Jeans and Boots
