Awesome quiz

Unfortunately, I can't find any I can answer! A few look familiar, but I'm blank right now.

So for now I'll offer my compliments without my answers ;)

I only recognize 3 of them  :\'(

#7 is Awake the Giant by Lawrence Gowan.  This song was written about The Sleeping Giant, an island off the coast of Thunder Bay, Ontario that looks like an actual Sleeping Giant.  If ever you go to Thunder Bay, be sure to check it out. It's quite a sight 8)

#12 is Sunny Days by Lighthouse.  I had this one (differnt lyric choice) in one of the quizzes I did so I'd have to slap myself if I didn't know it ;D

#16 is Not in Love by Platinum Blonde

Awesome quiz

The song would be correct, and the artist is a good one, however, I was thinking of another artist that did the same song

Good job 8)

I am amazed at your awareness of these Canadian Artists and Songs
because I even had to look up a few to make sure I had them right!
You should go on Music Jeopardy!!

Excellent job!!! 8)

6. On The Radio - Nelly Furtado


I wasn't sure about this one, but when you said that she "got her freak on" with Missy Elliott, that's when I knew I was right.

I have a knack for obscure music knowledge.  I know a lot of useless crap.

That would be the one!

I hope you're not expecting any from me... 'cause I haven't got a clue. Any answer from me would be a stab in the dark - even the Jeff Healey and Nickelback songs... :-\\

It's all good Henk! ;)

I know your heart is in the right place!
And I appreciate your honesty! 8)

#2 - I sadly don't know many Blue Rodeo songs by their lyrics, so a guess .. 'Til I Am Myself Again'?
#13 - I don't know much about Moxy Fruvous other than the song 'King of Spain'
#26 - David Usher was the lead singer for Moist.  This is just a guess, but is the song 'Push'?  That's the only song I know by them (i wasn't a big fan LOL)

hmmm...

2. incorrect

13. Correct!

26. Moist is correct but song isnt

Finally some hits!!! Thanks Jas!


I'll give another guess for #2 . "Lost Together"?

Sorry Jas - again you are wrong. :(

I'm just gonna fill it all out and call it a day!
Obviously, it was harder than I thought!

2. Bad Timing
5. Blunt
9. Basketball
10. Tiny Thing
