The Quizness: Music Trivia

 So there are lots of quizzes to take on YouTube, including music trivia, but there's a new one that focuses only on music and Mark and I took because it was based on intro alone, no voice.

After helping our favorite neighbors and friends clean their apartment because they're moving into a house (so happy for them!), we sat down to steak and pineapple fajitas from Cinco De Mayo and saw this pop up in our feed and decided to play.

Lots of these only focus on the last 10 years or so, of which I get some right, but ever since we've moved to solo artist focus almost exclusively, over the last 10 years or so, rather than bands, I've sort of lost interest. 

This one was fairly easy  ...

 

I got 47/50 and Mark got 40 out of 50!

(I noticed neither of us were good with European bands after say 2010, but solo artists since then, I can mostly do and Mark just doesn't care 😂 .)

One of these intros was by my favorite band and artists of all time - The Police with Roxanne - and Mark didn't know it!

Mark: "Roxanne ... was like who sang that?  

 

Me: (Blinking twice in disbelief): "Are you ... kidding  me, right now? You're messing with me, right?"

 

Mark: "No, I really don't know lol!"  

 

Me:  *Fake gasp* -  "Sacrilege! Okay, so ... you are fired as my husband, right now ... because THAT is "Roxanne" and The Police and Sting, who has been my Fantasy Co-Husband in Chief since I was 14 years old! 😂" 

 

Mark: "OMG, I never realized that was The Police, too! I thought it was The Ramones or somebody else. OMG, I fire myself as your husband over that! 😂"   

 

Me: "The Ramones?!? Not even close, they never inappropriately appropriated ska or put reggae undertones like The Police did. 😂" 

"Gimme that queso dip, it's mine now ...ALL mine ... mwahahaha! 😉 😂" 

"Yep, Roxanne was their first mainstream hit, around 1978, I think?  Six years before the Synchronicity album, which is when everything Sting adorned my locker door 😂. Not their biggest hit or their best song, but yep."

Of course, we're joking - he is NOT fired as my husband and I still shared the queso dip - that's just how we play 😂
