	I'm really really enjoying this quiz and with a few modifications would make it an Editor's choice. They are: 1) On the game info page, click the box that requires players to answer in order. That way the wrong lyric appears on top and we don't have to scroll up and down. 2) Use <u> and </u> around the part of the clue that you want replaced. Example: "When I needed sunshine on my brain" and only require the player to enter the correction for the underlined section. It takes too long to type the whole thing in, or even cut, paste & edit. 3) Redistribute the column widths 35%/35%/30%. For the most part, the band/title section is causing the most unnecessary line breaks. 4) Killing Me Softly can be credited to Roberta Flack or Fugees, but not Alicia Keys. 5) Add another 5:00 to the play time. I knew 90% of these but only had time to enter about half. 6) KEEP THE SUBTITLE! It was hilarious. I'll check back in a couple of hours.

	@rockgolf...1) Thank you so much for the tips on making the quiz more playable! 2) I think that I made all of the suggested changes 3) I am glad that you enjoyed it and I typically attach Electric Boogaloo to all things part 2.

	@Emsee: Appreciate that. You've been added as an Editor's Choice. Good stuff.

	nice quiz! i missed the ramones clue though, because you only underlined the second part of the misheard lyric which, in keeping with the way the other clues are given, would make the first part ("do you wanna wanna") a CORRECT part of the lyrics. does that make sense? i think the whole clue should be underlined to make it match the format of the other clues. good job!

	@cassavetes, I will correct it to try and make it less confusing. I saw that only about 4% were getting that one right, so it is probably more to confusion than lack of knowing the correct lyric. Thanks for the feedback

	Great quiz, just a few suggestions. For "Barbara Ann," you don't require the second part to be typed in, and it doesn't really make sense to have "Bob or Ann" anyway since you have the song title listed. Also, for the Bee Gees, "woman" is not underlined but you do require it to be typed.

	@LizawithaZ, I underlined Bob or Ann because people had indicated that they were getting confused where some lyrics were incorrect, but not underlined. They were taking it to mean that the lyric was correct as is. Because the title is offered, I saw no point to making people type it in, but didn't want to confuse anyone by leaving it as Bob or Ann. Good catch on more than a woman. I fixed that one. Thanks again to everyone for the feedback to make the game play better

	Awesome quiz, five orbs, but one glaring omission: "There's a bathroom on the right".

	@barnztormre...the one you request is in the first incarnation of this quiz. Check my other contributed games if you'd like.

	I stand corrected, and I've done the first installment too. +1 for including "Electric Boogaloo" in the title.

	Cool Hwip.

	Wow I didn't even know that some of these were ever missheard. Fun fact: "Blinded by the Light" was actually a Bruce Springsteen song before it was covered by Manfred Mann

	lalalala:	Jun 9th, 2010 at 05:18 GMT		1 point
	couldn't figure out what they wanted for the ramones one because it is in no way similar to the actual lyric. who thinks that?

	SuzyCreamcheeze:	Jul 2nd, 2010 at 15:00 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for tipping me off on some I've been singing wrong for a few years ;o) Not admitting which ones though...

	kagomeshuko:	Oct 7th, 2010 at 02:45 GMT		0 points
	Why do some of them only require part of the lyrics that are underlined to be typed while others require all the underlined lyrics to be typed as the correct lyrics?

	most of these are good some are a bit rubbish though
