Strange there is a pic of Mick Jagger, but not a song of his.

Maybe in the sequel you can have some "as" similes.

Genuinely curious: is a phrase of the form "Smells like X" (or looks like, feels like, etc.) considered a simile? I know it has the word "like" in it, but it feels somehow different to me.

Perhaps not. I was going to pick a nit on that one because it's never a lyric, just a title.

Ed Sheeran couldn't even make the chorus grammatically correct. It's either "like magnets do" or "like a magnet does." And why would he and his love interest push and pull anyway?

What was he thinking?

"Smells like teen spirit" is never in the lyrics of the song. Maybe add titles to the description?

Cool idea, but I'm not sure all of these are actually similes. Yes, a simile is a comparison that uses "like" or "as", but similes usually compare two unlike things in a figurative way, not a literal way. The lead singer of Maroon 5 probably is saying that he literally dances/romances like Mick Jagger. Adam Levine literally moving like Jagger is as much a simile as this sentence... that is to say it's not. Swift's "next mistake" also strikes me as something to be taken literally, not figuratively. If I looked at a sandwich and said, "That looks like my lunch," I wouldn't think that is a simile.

How about Lionel Richie's "easy like a Sunday morning"?

Good quiz, but I think it'd be better to limit it to one artist per song. I doubt you'll get many Katy Perry fans on this site haha.

Can't believe only 40 or so per cent of people got magnet considering it's the most streamed song on Spotify and third most viewed YouTube song with a collective close to 9 billion views/streams on those two sites alone

My experience with this site has been that there is not much overlap between the Top 40 crowd and this site's users.
