Hello

Writing my annual quiz for the family and I tought that this round would be fun.

Information we know from popular songs

EG  
According to ABBA how old was the dancing queen?

Whats the name of the couple from Bon Jovi’s ‘Living on a prayer’?

What part of George Michael are guilty and have no rhythm?

Must be thousands that would get people singing the lyrics in their heads, does anyone have any others?  
Ideally I need 10 good ones of varying difficulty

Many thanks - Answers to questions above to follow if required (but they are quite easy 🙂 )
