ReplyDeleteI am way late for this game. But enjoyed reading the blog and many of these songs are 'my friends'.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean I don’t get a gold star? I really want a gold star – ok how about a silver star? Or red glittery one….

Dang I missed the game
ReplyDeleteMe too, bummer! But I did know numbers 4, 5, 6, 10, 13 and 17. Not very good, huh? lmao!
ReplyDeleteI adore Queen. I once got told off in a restaurant by a waiter for getting up on the table and dancing, and singing very loudly and drunkenly, to "Don't Stop Me Now", my favourite song of theirs. Luckily I was with a load of colleagues from work who were as drunk as I was, so I didn't embarrass anyone, hahaha! Ah, memories... :)
The world is a lesser place without Freddie Mercury. He was a total showman, through and through.
I've done a couple of music quizzes on my blog too, but not for ages. I'm tempted to do another now. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I do, I'll send you the link Vicci... see how well you do. ;)
Here you go Viccie! :D
