Level 32

Dec 30, 2012

More people got Whitney Houston than Ray Bradbury or Davy Jones. I'm sad.

Level 48

May 7, 2014

Bradbury was old. Houston was young.

Level 85

Nov 24, 2014

The Monkees were fun, but let's be honest: Whitney Houston was a thousand times more famous than Davy Jones. No reason to be upset over that one.

I'll give you that Bradbury was very influential though.

Level 23

i missed 4 due to spelling :(

Level 29

Dec 28, 2014

Really? Of all the Donna Summer songs? MacArthur Park?

Level 83

Jun 15, 2015

The disco era was all about drugs, and nothing screams "drugs" louder than that song. (Though it was written long before her version became popular.)

Level 61

The Bee Gees question is a bit easy. You only have to know the tiniest amount about the group to know that they were brothers with the surname Gibb. You don't even have to know which one died; you just type in "Gibb" and you get it.
