Songs of 2010 - Finish the Rhyme I Quiz | Music

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Bruno Mars sings about a girl: "Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she'd LET ME Her laugh, her laugh She hates but I think it's so ______"

Answer: sexy

"Just The Way You Are" was Bruno Mars' debut single. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The message of the song seems to be focusing on complimenting a girl's physical attributes in spite of her lack of self-confidence in said areas. To quote Mars (real name Peter Hernandez), "I wasn't thinking of anything deep or poetic. I was telling a story. Get ready to fall in love".

2. According to the Billboard Hot 100, this song was the top song of 2010. Ke$ha proudly sings in the chorus: "Don't stop, make it pop DJ, blow my speakers up Tonight, I'ma FIGHT 'Til we see the ______"

Answer: sunlight

"TiK ToK", Ke$ha's debut single from her debut album "Animal", stayed at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for nine straight weeks. Singing that she wants to see the sunlight implies partying throughout the night without stopping.

3. This inspirational song with an impressive music video filmed in Budapest boasts incredibly difficult vocal phrases...and some rather unusual metaphors, such as feeling like plastic bags and houses of cards. "Maybe the reason why all the doors are CLOSED So you could open one that leads you to the perfect ______"

Answer: road

"Firework" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. The music video, involving significant use of pyrotechnics, was shot at Buda Castle in Budapest. The song does require considerable vocal range.

About the incorrect answer(s): As a side note, an "abode" is a house, which would not make sense in this context.

4. The debut single from British rapper Tinie Tempah, this song peaked at number one on the UK singles charts. "Yeah yeah, we bring the stars out We bring the women and the cars and the cards out Let's have a toast, a celebration, get a GLASS OUT And we can do this until we ______"

Answer: pass out

"Pass Out" stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for two continuous weeks. The song, which features Labrinth's vocals, also reached number ten on the 2010 year-end chart.

About the incorrect answer(s): Even if we wished to talk about bass as in a bass guitar or a category of sounds, it should be pronounced more like the word 'base'. Rhyming it with 'glass' and pronouncing it appropriately would be hinting at the fish!

5. The music video for this song is featured in "Young Money World", where the Young Money stable of rappers seem to be enjoying themselves. Jae Millz raps: "Uh, she ain't got a man, but she's not ALONE Miss Independent, yeah, she got her ______"

Answer: own

"BedRock" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the UK Singles Chart. R&B singer Lloyd sings the hook and six rappers from Young Money rap individual lines for the song. Jae Millz is the last of the six rappers and while it may purely be coincidental, he seems to be referencing two Ne-Yo songs (the Grammy-winning "Miss Independent" and "She Got Her Own", the official remix to "Miss Independent").

About the incorrect answer(s): It certainly would be amusing to see a Miss Independent with her scones! Of course, "stone" could refer to diamonds and if she's rich she might have a "throne".

6. This song was not released in the US at all, but was one of only two songs in 2010 that topped the UK Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks! "I'm gonna leave the day BEHIND Don't you worry, cause I'm gonna have a real good ______"

Answer: time

"Good Times" topped the UK charts for three consecutive weeks in May 2010. While it may not be that clear that the song's about partying, it would seem that "time" would be a good guess!

The other song that topped the UK Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks was "The X Factor" winner Matt Cardle's release of "We Will Collide", a cover of Biffy Clyro's "Many of Horror".

7. Ludacris surprisingly is featured in Justin Bieber's hit "Baby", which was one of the most-watched videos on YouTube in 2010. He takes a much cleaner approach as compared to his other songs, though: "She had me going crazy, oh I was STARSTRUCK She woke me up daily, don't need no ______"

Answer: Starbucks

"Baby" peaked at number on the Billboard Hot 100 on 6th February 2010. The logic behind this line is evident as caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant, often helping people stay awake when tired. Starbucks refers to a chain of cafes serving primarily coffee.

8. Despite failing to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart on any given week, this song had the overall number one ranking for 2010 on the UK year-end singles chart. "But you promised her, next time you'd show restraint You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo GAME But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window Guess that's why they call it ______"

Answer: window pane

"Love the Way You Lie" only peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, but this did not stop its overall first place in the year-end rankings. It topped the Billboard Hot 100, though it did not fare as well on the US year-end charts, clocking in at number seven.

9. Timbaland has been prolific as a producer, though he has taken on singing roles in some of his songs as well. In one of his collaborations with Katy Perry, he opens up what seems like a pick-up attempt with: "What's somebody like you, doing in a place like THIS? Say did you come alone or did you bring all your ______?"

Answer: friends

"If We Ever Meet Again" did modestly well in the US, peaking at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100. It did perform considerably better in the UK, however, peaking at number three and reaching number 37 on the year-end charts.

I know, "friends" is a rather forced rhyme for "this" - if we can even call it a rhyme. That's how the song goes, though...

10. In "Hard", Young Jeezy raps: "Go hard or go home, back to your RESIDENCE Soon the red dogs will give the block back to the ______"

Answer: presidents

"Hard" was a song by Rihanna featuring Young Jeezy and had a memorable music video involving what may be seen as a war-zone. It peaked at number eight on the Hot 100 chart on January 30th, 2010.

In Atlanta, the "red dog squad" refers to a police anti-narcotic task force; presumably, in this context the "presidents" refers to money (since American dollar bills have the faces of past presidents on them).

About the incorrect answer(s): "Severance" is typically used to describe the pay package one receives if one is laid off or retires from one's job.

11. In Taio Cruz's "Dynamite", he sings: "I'm gonna take it all out I'm gonna be the last one STANDING I'm alone and all I... I'm gonna be the last one ______"

Answer: landing

"Dynamite" was released in July and eventually peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, while topping the UK singles chart. This bridge is perhaps a relatively short and minor section of the song. Unfortunately, there aren't too many good rhymes for "standing" - I'm not too sure what the songwriters were trying to imply.

12. When Pitbull featured on "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love", he raps: "Honey got me swishin' like a DREADLOCK She don't wrestle, but I got her in a ______"

Answer: headlock

"DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" was the fourth single from Usher's "Raymond v. Raymond" album. It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. A headlock is a wrestling move.

About the incorrect answer(s): I think the proper expression would be "mental block", not "mind block". "Bedrock" is actually used in the line immediately after the blank.

13. Let's up the difficulty a bit. This collaboration between a British singer, an American rapper and a Jamaican rapper peaked at number ten. In attempting to re-ignite a relationship with presumably an ex-girlfriend, one of them sings: "If it's alright with you, then it's alright with ME Baby, let's take this time, let's make new ______"

Answer: memories

Jay Sean (British) featured Lil Jon (American) and Sean Paul (Jamaican) on the third single from his album "All or Nothing", "Do You Remember". Actually, quite a few hints as to "memories" were given in my introduction to the song - he probably would have been aware of their past, and thus would like to perhaps try to make up for the past when their relationship failed.

About the incorrect answer(s): "Histories" and "promises" don't quite rhyme (while being appropriate for the context).

14. This dance-pop song featured a car that seemed to be able to drive off by itself in the music video. "I gotta turn this car around, I never should have left you THERE Boy, this traffic is making me sick, boy, I can't wait to have you ______"

Answer: near

"Happiness" by Alexis Jordan reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and while it did not make the Billboard Hot 100, it did top the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

15. In this break-up song, Shantel sings: "Falling out of love is hard, falling for betrayal is WORST Broken trust and broken hearts, I know, I know Thinking all you need is there, building faith on love and ______ Empty promises will wear, I know, I know"

Answer: words

"Impossible" reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart as well as number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, eventually coming in at number 70 on the Billboard Year-End Chart. The song showcases Shantel's powerful vocals ,especially in the pre-chorus sections.

About the incorrect answer(s): Honestly, if not for the fourth line given, "trust" would probably be the most plausible answer - and it still is a very strong option! However, the mention of "empty promises" would hint more strongly at the blank being "words" rather than "trust".
