Good quiz, but it shoud accept more options for the "business" one and the last one. White Christmas should be enough...

Very funny. Maybe "Initiating the exothermic chemical process of combustion is not our fault"? As to not give away the first three words...

Still wondering why I'm (seemingly) the only one in whose quiz the "a place of suffering for the damned" is a 'curse' word that blocks the quiz from being released with that particular word... Come on censor, cough up the answer! (As I asked, QM washed hands by "it wasn't me"-statement.) :D

I got really stuck on the celestial clue because I kept ready it as diet-y and trying to think of food songs. Then I realized it was meant to be DEITY! GOT IT!

For some reason once I got down to the Single Ladies one it had already been filled in - any idea which of the previous answers had given it?

"SL" fills in single ladies. I was guessing something else that started with sl, and it filled in.

I didn’t even know “Cake by the Ocean” was a song, but I almost got it through placing the cake adjacent to seas, rivers, and lakes. So close.

It was either cake by the ocean or cake by the sea. I didn't enter either one because I've never heard of the song. I should have typed it in.

"There is no business" should be allowed as a type in, unless I'm mistaken

I think the walrus one should either accept "a" in the song title or change the clue to specify it's "the", because as written "a" makes more sense

More should be accepted for "show business"... I tried without the contraction and wrote "there is..." instead of "there's" and didn't get it.

Good quiz, but there are plenty of adults with y chromosomes who aren't men and plenty of men without y chromosomes, so that part of the prompt is inaccurate.
