The now legendary 90s music quiz! This was forwarded to me in Excel format a couple of years back, and provided hours of frustrating entertainment. Of course, being an Excel spreadsheet, in the end it wasn't too hard to rip out all the answers and check them. I recently had the idea of teaching myself PHP and mySQL, and decided that porting this quiz from Excel would be a good way to learn. However, getting the quiz to operate in the way I wanted to meant that I had to introduce Javascript into the equation, in order to provide a somewhat more dynamic webpage. And for the budding answer hackers out there, the answers are all MD5 encrypted, which should make it a touch more difficult for you :-) Simply enter your answers in the text boxes provided - they will be checked as you go. Spaces, capitalisation and punctuation will be ignored. New! Due to popular demand, I've included a save function. Simply click on the "Save answers" button at the bottom of the quiz and all your hard work will be stored on your computer ready to pick up where you left off. You must have cookies enabled in your browser for this feature to work. Good luck! |

| 1 | I owe a debt here to Edgar Wallace who edited the transcript... |  |
|
||
| 2 | Is there some karma true love thing happening here baby or what? | |
|
||
| 3 | She's looking at you, Uh, I don't think so she's looking at me. | |
|
||
| 4 | 22-22-222 I gotta answering machine that can talk to you | |
|
||
| 5 | 25 years ago, they spoke out and they broke out | |
|
||
| 6 | A friend in need's a friend indeed, a friend with weed is better | |
|
||
| 7 | A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees | |
|
||
| 8 | A world that's ugly and a lie, hard to even want to try | |
|
||
| 9 | Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name | |
|
||
| 10 | All day long I can hear people talking out loud | |
|
||
| 11 | Am I sexual? Yeah-eah | |
|
||
| 12 | And all I can do is just pour some tea for two | |
|
||
| 13 | And by Candlelight, make love to me through the night | |
|
||
| 14 | And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues | |
|
||
| 15 | And I feel, like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore | |
|
||
| 16 | And I just can't contain this feeling that remains | |
|
||
| 17 | And I won't stop until I'm done | |
|
||
| 18 | And I'd give up forever to touch you | |
|
||
| 19 | And singing, illuminate the main streets and the cinema aisles | |
|
||
| 20 | And when I get that feeling, I can no longer slide | |
|
||
| 21 | And when they went to their Church they shook and lurched all over the Church floor | |
|
||
| 22 | Are we like you? I can't be sure | |
|
||
| 23 | Baby we ain't sure that we like your attitude | |
|
||
| 24 | Before I get to going I gotta say | |
|
||
| 25 | Before I make you mine, you have to be sure. | |
|
||
| 26 | Boy you got me blinded | |
|
||
| 27 | Build up your confidence so you can be on top for once | |
|
||
| 28 | Can you squeeze me in to an empty page of your diary | |
|
||
| 29 | Cascading down, golden rays above | |
|
||
| 30 | Clean your act up and don't be a slob | |
|
||
| 31 | Cos I miss you baby and I've got those feelings again | |
|
||
| 32 | Cos inside out It's wiggity wiggity wiggity wack | |
|
||
| 33 | Cos you know I ain't nothin' but a user of your love | |
|
||
| 34 | Could have been easier on you, I coul have changed though I wanted to | |
|
||
| 35 | Dear, I fear we're facing a problem | |
|
||
| 36 | Did you say no this can't happen to me | |
|
||
| 37 | DJ Soul was on a roll, I've been told, he can't be sold | |
|
||
| 38 | Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard, or do I sing like a bird released | |
|
||
| 39 | Don't believe in anything that you can't break | |
|
||
| 40 | Don't cry for me, next door neighbour | |
|
||
| 41 | Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel | |
|
||
| 42 | Don't think 'cos I'm talking, we're friends | |
|
||
| 43 | Don't you tell me to smile, you stick around I'll make it worth your while | |
|
||
| 44 | Don't you think I know exactly where I stand | |
|
||
| 45 | Down in North Hollywood there's a guy with long hair | |
|
||
| 46 | Even her smile looks like a frown | |
|
||
| 47 | Exit: Light, Enter: Night | |
|
||
| 48 | Fall in love with everything that you would love to love | |
|
||
| 49 | Fingernails are pretty, fingernails are good | |
|
||
| 50 | First class, fancy free, she's high society | |
|
||
| 51 | First time that I saw you girl I knew that I just had to make you mine | |
|
||
| 52 | Freezing, rests his head on a pillow made of concrete | |
|
||
| 53 | Get raw with the fever on the dancefloor | |
|
||
| 54 | Gonna send you back to wherever the hell it was you came | |
|
||
| 55 | Got myself into some trouble tonight | |
|
||
| 56 | Got to teach and everything you learn will point to the fact that time is eternal | |
|
||
| 57 | He wanted twenty two bucks but I talked him down to seventeen | |
|
||
| 58 | Here and now, will we ever be the same | |
|
||
| 59 | Here comes Johnny Elegant | |
|
||
| 60 | Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove | |
|
||
| 61 | Hey you, stare at the sun. You're not going to see anyone | |
|
||
| 62 | How can you have a day without a night | |
|
||
| 63 | Hug me, till you drug me honey | |
|
||
| 64 | I can't believe you're here, but I know that you're real | |
|
||
| 65 | I do my little turn on the catwalk | |
|
||
| 66 | I don't wanna be your stool pigeon | |
|
||
| 67 | I don't want nobody else, I love you (she's lying) | |
|
||
| 68 | I feel stupid and contagious | |
|
||
| 69 | I forget myself I want you to remind me | |
|
||
| 70 | I got my head shaved by a jumbo jet | |
|
||
| 71 | I guess I'm doing fine, doing fine | |
|
||
| 72 | I had a dream I was your hero | |
|
||
| 73 | I had a vision of a very calming place where we fall like lovers into embrace | |
|
||
| 74 | I just stand by and let you fight your secret war | |
|
||
| 75 | I know what I want and I want it now | |
|
||
| 76 | I must have died and gone to heaven 'cos it was quarter past eleven | |
|
||
| 77 | I smoke like an iron lung | |
|
||
| 78 | I talk talk, I talk to you | |
|
||
| 79 | I think his name is Bill or Mack or Buddy | |
|
||
| 80 | I took her to a supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere | |
|
||
| 81 | I try to keep her on a short leash, I try to calm her down | |
|
||
| 82 | I wanna roll inside your soul | |
|
||
| 83 | I wanna see bluebirds flying over the mountains again | |
|
||
| 84 | I want to know right what will it be | |
|
||
| 85 | I'll be your whatever you want, the bong in this reggae song | |
|
||
| 86 | I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want | |
|
||
| 87 | I'll wait till the end of time for you | |
|
||
| 88 | I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24? | |
|
||
| 89 | I'm a burning effigy of everything I used to be | |
|
||
| 90 | I'm hooked and I can't stop starin' | |
|
||
| 91 | I'm never going to know you now, but I'm going to love you anyhow | |
|
||
| 92 | I'm sitting here in the boring room | |
|
||
| 93 | I'm so tired of playing, playing with this bow and arrow | |
|
||
| 94 | I'm such a baby, yeah the dolphin made me cry | |
|
||
| 95 | I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt | |
|
||
| 96 | I'm the lyrical Jesse James | |
|
||
| 97 | I'm watchin' you and Fidel Castro in the sand | |
|
||
| 98 | I'm your average white suburbanite slob | |
|
||
| 99 | I've never had to knock on wood, but I know someone who has | |
|
||
| 100 | If I open my heart there'd be no space for air, cos I wanted you | |
|
||
| 101 | In my heart I feel it, I'm that special kind of girl | |
|
||
| 102 | In the headlights, of a stretch car, you're a star | |
|
||
| 103 | It was lucky for us I turned the radio on | |
|
||
| 104 | It's a turf war on a global scale, I'd rather her both sides of the tale | |
|
||
| 105 | It's gotta be big | |
|
||
| 106 | It's kind of hard when she's ready to go | |
|
||
| 107 | It's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew | |
|
||
| 108 | It's years since you've been there and now you've dissappeared somewhere | |
|
||
| 109 | Jesus and his lawyer are coming back | |
|
||
| 110 | Just a stranger on the bus tryin' to make his way home | |
|
||
| 111 | Lakes are green, and skies are blue | |
|
||
| 112 | Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be | |
|
||
| 113 | Life in plastic, it's fantastic | |
|
||
| 114 | Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire | |
|
||
| 115 | Looking for some affirmation, made my way into the sun | |
|
||
| 116 | Mr Play It Safe was afraid to fly | |
|
||
| 117 | My boot scootin' baby is driving me crazy | |
|
||
| 118 | My music hits me so hard, makes me say 'Oh my Lord' | |
|
||
| 119 | My teas gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all | |
|
||
| 120 | My whole exsistence is flawed | |
|
||
| 121 | My words get tangled up in good intentions | |
|
||
| 122 | Nature's candy in my hand or can or pie | |
|
||
| 123 | Near and far, Closer together | |
|
||
| 124 | Never changes a thing, the week ends the week begins | |
|
||
| 125 | Now I'm fully grown and I know where it's at | |
|
||
| 126 | Once step forward, two steps backward | |
|
||
| 127 | Party people come on | |
|
||
| 128 | People always talk about reputation | |
|
||
| 129 | People livin' their lives for you on TV, they say they're better than you, and you agree | |
|
||
| 130 | Pillars turn to butter, butterflying low | |
|
||
| 131 | Pray to Sony my soul to keep | |
|
||
| 132 | Psychosomatic, addict, insane | |
|
||
| 133 | Pull down me pants, look up me bottom | |
|
||
| 134 | Right about now, the funk soul brother | |
|
||
| 135 | Right down to the bone I was a Rolling Stone | |
|
||
| 136 | Says she lives for me, ovation, her own motivation | |
|
||
| 137 | She only comes when she's on top | |
|
||
| 138 | She opened up her eyes and thought, 'Oh what a morning.' | |
|
||
| 139 | She said 'I think I remember that film' | |
|
||
| 140 | Shouting Lager, Lager, Lager, Lager | |
|
||
| 141 | Sixteen in the clip and one in the hold | |
|
||
| 142 | Smack, Crack, Push, Whack | |
|
||
| 143 | So here's your life, we'll find our way | |
|
||
| 144 | So I wake in the morning and I step outside | |
|
||
| 145 | Someday, somebody's gonna make you wanna turn around and say goodbye | |
|
||
| 146 | Sometimes the snow comes down in June | |
|
||
| 147 | Stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry | |
|
||
| 148 | Stealin' kisses from the leperous faces | |
|
||
| 149 | Stick or Twistâ the choice is yours, Hit or Missâ what's mine is yours | |
|
||
| 150 | Strange you never knew | |
|
||
| 151 | Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance | |
|
||
| 152 | Strumming my pain with his fingers (One Time) | |
|
||
| 153 | Sweet sugarpop, sugarpop, rocksypop, you don't stop | |
|
||
| 154 | The angel opens her eyes | |
|
||
| 155 | The camera pans a cocktail glass, behind the blind of plastic plants | |
|
||
| 156 | The fans get up and they get out of town | |
|
||
| 157 | the lights are blinking, I'm thinking, it's all over when I go out drinking | |
|
||
| 158 | The more I get of you the stranger it feels (Yeah-eh) | |
|
||
| 159 | The more I see, The more I know, The more I know the less I understand | |
|
||
| 160 | The water out of the tap is very hard to drink | |
|
||
| 161 | Then I saw your smile | |
|
||
| 162 | There is no divine intervention here, promises will never ever shape my dreams | |
|
||
| 163 | There was a girl that passed me by, she gave a smile but I was shy, I looked down, so down | |
|
||
| 164 | There were planes to catch and bills to pay | |
|
||
| 165 | There's a fire between us, so where is your god? | |
|
||
| 166 | There's nothing where he used to lie, my inspiration has run dry | |
|
||
| 167 | They were all in love with Diane, they were doin' it in Texas | |
|
||
| 168 | This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon | |
|
||
| 169 | Those pills you gave me for the pain | |
|
||
| 170 | Time to break free, nothin' can stop me | |
|
||
| 171 | To know you, is to love you | |
|
||
| 172 | Tomorrow comes to take me away | |
|
||
| 173 | Tomorrow we could drive around this town, let the cops chase us around | |
|
||
| 174 | Truth, Beauty and a picture of you | |
|
||
| 175 | Try to make ends meet, you're a slave to money, then you die | |
|
||
| 176 | Watching the world wake up from history | |
|
||
| 177 | We are gonna be together, you and me | |
|
||
| 178 | We can do it till we both wake up | |
|
||
| 179 | We used to walk along the river, and dream a way out of this town | |
|
||
| 180 | We're flat broke, but hey we do it in style | |
|
||
| 181 | We're so enchanted by how clever we are | |
|
||
| 182 | Well I been looking around for some kind of feeling, some kind of sensation | |
|
||
| 183 | Well I tried to tell you so (Yes I Did) But I guess you didn't know | |
|
||
| 184 | When you gonna take me out of this black hole | |
|
||
| 185 | Who's that casting devious stares in my direction | |
|
||
| 186 | Why I feel this way about our love and what I must do | |
|
||
| 187 | Will there be another race to come along and take a fur for us | |
|
||
| 188 | You better be ready to get confused | |
|
||
| 189 | You can get what you need, just get down on your knees | |
|
||
| 190 | You know you cannot hide from what's inside | |
|
||
| 191 | You let me change lanes while I was driving in my car | |
|
||
| 192 | You said your body was young but your mind was very old | |
|
||
| 193 | You took an instamatic camera, and pulled my sleeves around my heart | |
|
||
| 194 | You were born to dance with me | |
|
||
| 195 | You'd better hope and pray that you make it safe back to your own world | |
|
||
| 196 | You're always asking what it's all about, so listen to my reply | |
|
||
| 197 | You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry | |
|
||
| 198 | You've got me wrapped around your finger | |
|
||
| 199 | You've got the horn so why don't you blow it | |
|
||
| 200 | Your job's a joke, you're broke, your lovelife's D.O.A. | |
