Smiths Lyrics Quiz

[schweinsteiger]

There is a good Smiths lyrics quiz on Sporcle.com for anyone who is interested.It is under yesterdays quizzes- Monday 30th November.Thought I would get them all right but only managed 36/40.Kicking myself for the ones I got wrong.

Less than 7 minutes. Come on challengers.

I ran out of time at 32 :(

I kept getting stuck on the proper title -

I've just learnt that it's The Headmaster Ritual - not Headmaster's Ritual - as I've always thought.

And I got cross that it wouldn't accept:
Stop Me If You Think THAT You've Heard This One Before

And I couldn't understand
There's a Light That Never Goes Out

I'd love to say it was fun, but it was bloody frustrating!

I had about 2:30 left at the end. I agree with Stop me - I kept trying to add 'that'. I thought it was fun!

[still ill life]

33/40.

I missed:

4 The Smiths songs
2 Meat is murder songs
1 The Queen is dead song

I just added a Morrissey Lyrics quiz to the same site. The longer titles will also accept the acronyms. :)

How do you get that screen print copied on to here? I just highlighted and did a copy and paste but it looks really weird. I got all 40 correct with 7:31 remaining. Would have probably done it faster if I realized earlier on that they were throwing them at me in a random order and not down the list and that I didn't have to capitalize words. Anyways, how do I get it to show on here? Thanks.

I didn't print screen mine. I finished with 9:18 left though, I think? Something like that. It was a while ago, I was gonna post but forgot. I'd have done better, too, but the titles! I was typoing all over the place. I'll try again...

The Morrissey lyrics quiz is kind of broken, no lyrics are showing up! And I wanted to take it. D:

A while ago I went insane and made TWO Morrissey Song quizzes on the same site, one just for the albums and one every not-cover song altogether. For my own purposes - I was never gonna make them public, but if you DON'T then you can't see the stats and I wanted to know what songs I was missing all the time.

As for the Smiths quiz...

Doesn't count for an official score or anything, though, considering this is, like, my third time taking it :P

GASP! The Morrissey Lyrics quiz works - I'm doing it now. :D

(I've got 35 out of 40 with 11 minutes left, but I honestly have no clue what the rest are and am just wildly guessing. This one's harder!)

[dailyalice]

I think it's fixed - try again.
I searched for Morrissey and didn't find your quizzes!

[jeff992]

There's a Morrissey one I see where no lyrics come up because you're just supposed to name every Morrissey song off the top of your head. I tried it without looking at any CD's, no cheating. Came up with 148 out of the 175 song titles in 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure most of the ones I missed were recent ones. I'm an old man and I can't remember every recent song as well as the old stuff.

That one's my fault entirely. :P My high score is 154 so far, or something like that, but then I took it five hundred times. Good waste of time. :P

Gave up on the Morrissey lyrics quiz with 35/40 and 7:29 left. Ugh, I gotta brush up. I missed THREE Viva Hate Songs (one of which I was absolutely convinced was from He Knows I'd Love To See Him, and the other two I thought were Maladjusted-era) and then two newer ones I had absolutely no idea on.

(And, on the subject of quizzes, here's (http://www.sporcle.com/games/Fuzzyy/morrissey) the "Please name all the tracks on all solo albums" quiz, if any of you care to see it~.)

I can't find the Morrissey one with lyrics.

[jeff992]

Finished the Morrissey lyric one with 8:59 remaining and got all of them right.

[dailyalice]

Dude, that's amazing.

[jeff992]

Been listening to Smiths/Morrissey since 1985 so I guess some of it just comes to me quickly. Had to think on some of them though. I still don't know how to get the screen showing the time left to show up on here though.

That was a really fun quiz. I got 36/40. A few that stumped me were some of my favourites! I almost didn't remember How soon is now?
I missed;

But to you I was faceless, I was fawning, I was boring, a child from those ugly new houses

No I've never had a job...

A double bed, and a stalwart lover for sure, these are the riches...

I just might die with a smile...

AUGHH I so knew those, all of them.
