Take That Gobbledygook Trivia Quiz

I'm no fan of Take That, and it seemed to me that some of their lyrics made no sense. So I looked more closely, and I was right. Some of their lyrics are meaningless gobbledygook. See if you can work out which song some of these daft lyrics come from.

6. In one of their songs Take That were apparently "Learning how to dance the rain", whatever that means! Which song?

Answer: The Flood

"The Flood", which must contain some of the most pretentious lyrics of any pop song, was the opening track on "Progress" (2010), the band's first album after the return of Robbie Williams.

7. "Been a lonely conversation to this photograph of you" is a rather odd line, and would sound better if "to" were "with". Which Take That song does it come from?

"Holding Back The Tears" (not to be confused with Simply Red's "Holding Back The Years"!) was on the band's 1996 album "Nobody Else"

Answer: Could It Be Magic

This was the band's 1992 cover version, on their debut album "Take That & Party", of Barry Manilow's song, which he took into the charts in 1975.

Answer: The Flood

I've always thought that Gary Barlow was capable all on his own of writing silly stuff, but on this track, from the album "Progress", he had Robbie Williams back in tow to help with the nonsense!

10. On which Take That track can you hear the meaningless line "You'll be right and understood"?

Answer: Back For Good

Another fine example of Take That's ability to stick any line into a song as long as it has the right number of syllables, whether or not it makes the slightest sense! Another track from the "Nobody Else" album (1995).
