Subject: A Bunch of B.S. Quiz (Boy this Sure went by fast!)

Written By: ChrisBodilyTM on 02/12/05 at 4:53 pm

The title of this quiz refers to the fact that the original artists/bands have the initials B.S. in their name. For example, if the lyric were "She packed my bags..... Last night..... Pre...flight," the answer would be Bill Shatner (in this case covering Elton John) "Rocketman."

If that artist wasn't the original artist, name the artist who did it with the initials "B.S." Good luck!

1| Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Bob Seger "Old Time Rock and Roll"

2| Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Black Sabbath "Iron Man"

3|  I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain

When I was seventeen
William (Bill) Shatner "It Was a Very Good Year"

5| You are my fire
The one desire

6| As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Bruce Springsteen "Thunder Road"

7| Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Bob Seger "Night Moves"

8| Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
Britney Spears "Toxic"

9| Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Bruce Sprigsteen "Born to Run"

10| Well it's one for the money, two for the show,
Three to get ready now go cat go
Elvis Presley "Blue Suede Shoes"

Original was by Frank Sinatra, if even him! In the 1940s or 50s, I think. The sing came out when Robbie Williams's grandparents were his age; his parents -- let alone Robbie himself -- hadn't even been conceived yet!

Never attatch Robbie Williams as the original author of a song that was a hit decades before he was even born. That's like saying that Britney Spears originally performed "Purple Haze", 'cept I wouldn't complain if she did.

It sure did. I didn't get a chance to answer 1 question, and I consider myself an expert in B.S.  ;D ;)
