18 out of 23. I don't know if thatvwas good.
Not great 17/23.
I could sing that song in my sleep. ;D
Ofc the trickiest one is "break/hurt" because first it's hurt, then later break (building up to a stronger word.)

I SURVIVED!
19/23 I got some of those correct thanks to Men in Black

*stupid "hurt me with goodbye"*
*stupid "hurt me with goodbye"*
Not bad at all trying to remember all the lines................19/23
22/23, I was sure it was "break me with good-bye".
I got that one wrong too. In one verse it's definitely break and in another it's hurt. That's a trick question!
17/23
17/23.I should have changed that stupid lock.I should have thrown away the key.Then I would have ended up with better then 17 out of 23!😋
You may not have gotten 100% on this quiz...but you definitely won with this comment!
21/23! Missed a few minor lyrics, but pretty good! Even if you never heard the song, the fact that the lines have to rhyme will get you some of the answers! I'm old enough to remember when it played every 20 minutes, so this was easy! 12 and 22 were my misses!
18/23, did not survive.

18/23, this is s long song!
I hate this song! The reason is, back in day when I used to listen to the radio, {specifically the oldies station;} this song, and Rod Stewart's Maggie May were THE MOST played songs. Even the dj's {at least one of them did,} made mention of this "fact." I remember people saying things like: "Oh, isn't [past] time for IWS/MM to be played?" "Gee, we haven't heard that song since at least an hour ago! Something like that. {I obviously, also don't like MM for the same reason.}
I think I've heard that Hotel California also fits into this category, but I still like that song. Think another reason I still don't like IWS/MM, is my luck. I seem to recall turning on the radio and one or the other will either just be starting, or be halfway finished. Or, another song would be on, but I wouldn't have the radio on all that long, before one or the other kicks off.
Kudos to those of you who still like the song, and who have been helped by it.

I felt that way about Maggie May and Hotel California, which to this day makes me feel a little carsick since it debuted during a long road trip I made in my early 20s — trapped in a VW Beetle with the Eagles for eight hours a day was not as much fun as it sounds!
Yeah, I hear ya! As much as I still like the Eagles, if I had to endure them as long as you had, {that must've been torture!} I probably would have wound up hating them as well.
You mind if I ask where you were going? Was wherever you ended up at least a pleasurable experience and helped you get through the "torture" you went through, listening to the Eagles all that time. Was it worth the long trip?

First of all I should not have to log in every time l make a comment.. that is directed to the METV's gods in their Ivory soap towers... but secondly Stephanie... I am a sort of a rock music historian and Maggie May was already an earworm back in 1971 after Stewart went solo after the Jeff Beck Group... so l would consider most disco songs of the mid 70's far more abrasive to the eardrums and synapses than Maggie May or HC or STH considering the quality of the musicianship employed in them...just my opinion for what it is worth
Stephanie, I LOVE this song! However, I agree with you that some songs should never be heard again! I actually considered not drinking Coke because of that "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" earwig!!
Funny, but what I remember most about that particular trip was the song! The trip was ok I guess, just a quick back and forth across a couple of states to visit a friend who had moved away, nothing spectacular.
OK, without all the rhetoric, what was your score?
My question is, if you hate the song THAT much, why did you even click on it? Not trying to be snide, but if there was a "Sweet Child of Mine" quiz, I wouldn't click anywhere near it.
