Subject: David Bowie Lyrics Quiz [LAST ANSWERS REVEALED]
Written By: Henk on 01/14/16 at 3:08 pm
As a tribute to the late great David Bowie I've compiled this lyrics quiz for you.
Fifty-six songs that span nearly five decades (1967 - 2015)...
Some are covers, some are collaborations, some are well known, some are obscure...
Shouldn't be too hard (if you're a fan)! Limit = OFF to start with.
Enjoy, and please no cheating! :)
01 A plague I call a heartbeat
02 All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
03 And I, I'll drink all the time
04 And if you say hide, we'll hide
05 Be nice to the big blue sea
06 But the little green wheels are following me
07 Daddy, daddy, get me out of here.
08 Do we have to die for the 50 more?
09 Dropped my cell phone down below
10 Every child must be made to care
11 Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
12 For this could be the biggest sky
13 Hallo humans, can you feel me thinking?
14 He made him fly through a hole
15 He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
16 He's crashing out with Sylvian
17 I think she's dancing, what do I know?
18 I'd love to get a letter
19 If we can sparkle he may land tonight
20 I'll give you television
21 I'm stepping through the door
22 In the back of a dream car, twenty foot long
23 Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool?
24 It doesn't matter what you wear
25 It's just the power to charm
26 Just walking the dead
27 Life's a well-thumbed machine
28 Listen to me, don't listen to me
29 My friend don't listen to the crowd
30 No one moves, no one talks
31 Nothing prepared me for your smile
32 Nothing seems to make a dent
33 One day nothing meant nothing
34 Pale blinds drawn all day
35 See the mice in their million hordes
36 She asked me to stay and I stole her room
37 She got Latin roots
38 So I turned myself to face me
39 So long child, it's awful dark
40 Something happened on the day he died
41 Something tells me you're a devil's daughter
42 Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
43 Terror in a best laid plan
44 The European cannon is here
45 The gods forgot they made me
46 The rest can go to hell
47 Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
48 This chaos is killing me
49 This is our last dance
50 This mellow-thighed chick just put my spine out of place
51 Tits and Explosions
52 Unfurl the flag
53 We must have died alone, a long long time ago
54 When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
55 Who's been wearing Miranda's clothes?
56 You want more and you want it fast

Well, that's a bit disappointing... I can only give you two. :-\\ I'm afraid #44 is incorrect, and so is #52.

I was typing faster than my brain could throw out song names.
And....I'm sure that #44 is mentioned in the outro of TVC 15....
And....I see the error in #52. It's Boys Keep Swinging...wrong title.

Just to make sure I've had a listen, but I didn't hear it. :-\\ It's also not mentioned in the lyrics.
Could it be you're confused with another track from the same album...?
And....I see the error in #52. It's Boys Keep Swinging...wrong title.

Correct!
40. Blackstar - another new one (off his last album)
Also correct!
I was afraid people might be struggling with those, but I'm glad you proved me wrong. :)
34. The man who sold the world?
I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. I've used every song only once, and #53 is already taken from The Man Who Sold The World.
23. Fame
26. Sound and Vision
Dom! What a surprise to see you here! :)
I can give you #23, but not #26. (FYI: Sound And Vision is in this quiz somewhere... ::) )
48. Hallo Spaceboy
51. Little Wonder
Nice quiz, I miss Bowie already...
Glad you liked my quiz. And glad to say that you got those two correct. 8)

Okay, so it took me nearly a year... ::)
Here are the ones that you missed:
11 Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands - Real Cool World
13 Hallo humans, can you feel me thinking? - Baby Universal (by Tin Machine)
14 He made him fly through a hole - Time Will Crawl
17 I think she's dancing, what do I know? - DJ
18 I'd love to get a letter - Everyone Says "Hi"
26 Just walking the dead - Where Are We Now?
29 My friend don't listen to the crowd - Jump They Say
30 No one moves, no one talks - Tonight (duet with Tina Turner)
33 One day nothing meant nothing - One Shot (by Tin Machine)
39 So long child, it's awful dark - When The Wind Blows
42 Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake - Diamond Dogs
43 Terror in a best laid plan - Loving The Alien
44 The European cannon is here - Station To Station
45 The gods forgot they made me - Seven
46 The rest can go to hell - Absolute Beginners
...And that's it! This concludes my final quiz. There doesn't seem to be any interest anymore.
