Great quiz!! Curious about the Madonna factoid... about the 3 "Like A" songs... I know "Like a Virgin" and "Like a Prayer" but what else is there? I think she has a song called "Like it or not" maybe... Anyway fun quiz!

Fun quiz. I got 23/26, but I thought I would have gotten all of them. I missed on E, N and X.
