Great music videos. Interesting choices on the FredFlix clip.
I'd never heard of Dalida. She could speak many languages. Born in Egypt by Italian parents but I think she was a French citizen.
Dalida sold several million records around the world. Her best known songs are "Bambino", "Gondolier", "Les enfants du Pirée", "Le temps des fleurs", "Darla dirladada", "J'attendrai", "Le jour où la pluie viendra", "Gigi l'amoroso", "Salama ya salama", and "Paroles, paroles" featuring spoken word by Alain Delon. Out of all that I only know Alain Delon. Don't know if she ever made it to The States. Popular abroad.

Yes Alain Delon dated a bunch of the hot French babes back in the day.

I got 10/10 correct.
10/10
10/10. This is what happens to those of us 80's kids who grew up listening to the music their parents liked when they were kids.
I have sang house of the rising sun in a cover band so many times in a cover band since the sixties I could do it in my sleep.still never get tired of it
8/10
6 out of 10
9/10, and I was born in '64.
10/10 and No way us old timers need to look up the answers! That's some of the music we grew up on.
# 8 is a trick question, Dusty had the big hit on Bacharach/David's Wishin' and Hopin' but Nancy Sinatra did an excellent version of that song as well! It may not have been a single,but it should have been! ( 10/10) not bad because I was born in 68'
You followers that boast 10/10 must have looked up the answers online. I didn't, and I got three out of 10.
Are you kidding??! I LIVED through that time - I was 14 years old and listening to the radio was my LIFE! I heard every tune as I read the title - no way did I have to look ANYTHING up!!😝
I still listen to those songs. I have CDs of them and tune the oldies station on the radio.
And I also listen to them on YouTube.
10/10. Most of them I breezed right through. The only one I hesitated with was Under The Boardwalk. Was it the Coasters or Drifters? I chose wisely....... Drifters.
I've been listening to oldies radio ever since I was a child and got 10/10 ( I was born in 68') !
Well said, Splenderella9!!! 👏🫶👍🎶😁
I really don't think us kids here in the MeTV playground are looking up answers while taking these fun quizzes to get a "10/10 score", what would be the point of that? Anyone could just not take the quizzes & just post, or as you say "boast" they got a perfect score every single time.
Half the fun of taking these quizzes is owning up to & posting a terrible score with a fun or witty comment in the comment section! And on the *rare* occasion I personally get a 10/10 score, I certainly don't boast about it & neither do most all the folks on here, it just feels like a fun tiny little victory catching that elusive perfect score. 😁😁😁
