You really threw me there, so I had to look it up as I know the Neverending Story was much older than Kiss from a Rose. It was in fact in Neverending Story 3! But the song was a VERY big one-hit wonder in the 90s.
The dancing plague was a likely mass hysteria event where people believed they were compelled to dance because of their sins or some such reason. It’s not well documented and the number of deaths varies wildly from hundreds to… none. There’s a neat episode of Puppet History on YouTube about it. I recommend it for immature history enthusiasts.
Also recommend Florence + The Machine's song "Choreomania", inspired by the event. You won't learn much about the history, but it's a great song, and the only reason that I got that question right.
Based on the stats, yesterday's seems to have been on the harder-than-average side, the day before maybe on the easier side, and still too early to tell today
9/10 again today, this time it was the Yellowstone one that got me. Only myself to blame, I saw bison and decided that must be the answer before reading past B. Speed kills, folks 😅
Again with this Brussels thing... Brussels is the executive capital of the European Union. Strasbourg is the legislative capital, and Luxembourg is the judiciary capital. Can't we just call Brussels what is it, the "executive capital" (de jure and de facto), instead of completely making up a nonsensical category?
Journalists and newsreaders often use a capital city to refer to an entire national entity, eg: “While Washington is concerned about the climate talks, Paris have issued strong reassurances”
When referring to the EU, this city is always Brussels.
Super fun and easy until the last two. I guessed duels killed people because who would've thought it was dancing, and then I had to rule some out and take a lucky guess on Bellagio, because the only Bellagio I know is on the Strip. And they do have a lake.
“Crazy” and “Killer” mainly.
Album was big.
Not a one hit wonder, even in the US where Crazy hit the top ten.
But hey, don't jinx it 👀😂
When referring to the EU, this city is always Brussels.
It also comes up frequently in wikipedia rabbit holes, or when the topic of shared hysteria gets brought up.
Kind of like ergot poisoning
