Sporcle: Variety of Canadian Songs

[Captain Bowie]

Some very obvious, some a little less known, some very obscure. I am ashamed I only got 30/60. A few a new the artist just couldn't get it out of my brain. Pretty comprehensive list though.

Moxy didn't make the cut . And how is Triumph so far down?

 

[Xelebes]

I got 40/60

There were a few that I could name the key band member but not the band like Moe Berg in Pursuit of Happiness

 

[Ceremony]

15/60

 

[Leafsdude7]

I got 37/60, though I'll admit I had to go through my music folder to get a few of them (didn't look for the individual songs, at least).

I missed a handful I should have gotten though: Signs, Snowbird, Sweet City Woman, 1234.

Moxy Fruvous never made it onto the Canadian charts.

25/60

I probably could have hummed or sung 40/60 just on the song titles alone. Blanked at a lot of the artist names though.

I'm talking about 70s Canadian rock band moxy

 

[Xelebes]

Moxy never made it onto Canadian charts either.

Same here. I could sing and play 80% of them from memory, but only got 23 of the names.

 

[Ol' Jase]

42/60

I rock. I'm on top of the world.

 

[Acadmus]

Non-Canadadian here

I got 7/10 in "I've Heard of Canadada", 8/10 in "I've seen a hockey game" though I know a 9th song, just can't think of who performed Spinning Wheel. And 4/10 in "Jim Carrey is my neighbour" - and know two other songs (kicking myself for forgetting the woman that sings Black Velvet, I only see it every other day on Sirius). I got 1/10 in "Hoser, eh?" and know one song in Honourary Canuck (and had to look up who performed it, because again, kicking myself that I can't recall who performs Sweet City Woman). So overall I got 20/60.

Time just ran out, of the ones I didn't know, I've heard of (oh, ****, Blood, Sweat and Tears never knew they were Canadian) 17 of the artists, but I'm not overly familiar with their catalogues, necessarily.

42//60..I'm glad they didn't care I forgot the s in payola$ is a dollar sign.

If the quiz didn't lag so much on my phone, I could've gotten a few more.

That Payolas tune was one where I sat there running the reggae-esque guitar riff and melody through my head, and picturing the bug-eyed singer, but couldn't get the frikkin band name. Good song.

Give me a "Play-From-Memory" test and I'll ace it. Names? I'm hopeless.

I just remember Bob Rock, the mega producer, was in the Payola$.

When I was younger, my boss used to listen to classic rock radio, which, by law had to overplay a lot of those songs.

 

[reckoning]

48/60. I got 29/30 on the top half, but struggled with the bottom part.

If anything, I wish it had been longer. There's dozens of artists they could've added to it.
