The Walkman on the Bus Trivia Quiz


On the bus I travel home on in the evenings, there's usually an annoying man listening to a Sony Walkman. Occasionally he joins in, singing along with a tuneless voice which everyone but him can hear. Can you identify what songs he's singing?

A multiple-choice quiz by Islingtonian. Estimated time: 5 mins.
