Test Yourself With Our Scooter Music Lyric Quiz • Diary of a Detour

Lyric Music Quiz

I originally created this quiz for Warmwell 2019, in those heady days when we could go on scooter rallies!Do you remember that kind of socialising?Meeting friends and drinking and dancing and all that kind of normal stuff?Oh how we took all that for granted…

Anyway, now that we are in the car crash year of 2020 it occurred to me though that this quiz might alleviate a few minutes of boredom for you, or maybe even challenge your family or friends (by Zoom!).

So, this is my music lyric quiz, loosely based around ‘scooter music’ (whatever that is!) which I thought could be popular among more than just my close mates.

Before you start the quiz, if you’re into the kinds of tunes mentioned below, then have a listen to Nigel Ellis’s Mixcloud show for some quality music.

The answers are underneath the last lyric.
