	you shouldn't be able to type "a " and get the 4th answer

	Sorry don't know what you're talking about. Also Winslet has only one "t."

	Can someone post a massive spoiler about what the bonus answers are? I didn't get any of them and I'm not sure how I'd ever think of them. Also, I'd complain about so few people getting the Beatles song, but it looks like I made some serious oversights myself.

	SPORCLE WHEN WILL YOU LEARN? There is NO apostrophe before the S when writing a decade because it is a pluralization!! 1980s, 1960s, 2000s. Please correct.

	Ain't No Sunshine is one of the finest pop songs ever recorded, and Sunshine of Your Love is one of the finest rock songs ever recorded. I know they're old songs, being as they're both around 20 years older than me too, but it's a shame more Sporclers don't know them.

	I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad..... I thought that would be a bonus. Wonder what they were.

	Well... I may never get Steal My Sunshine out of my head again; Great quiz nonetheless, these common word quizzes are my fla-vor-it.

	can you please accept part of the Fifth dimension answer - I knew both separately, but didn't think to write it together...

	Too many songs on this quiz.

	alexhaz64:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 11:39 GMT	4 points
	this is creepy... I just happened to be listening to "Sunshine 60" by Flow when I took this quiz. Also, this could've used a little Gunther and the Sunshine Girls!

	JohnJF: I think most people know the songs, they just don't know who sung them. I know Ain't No Sunshine quite well but had a massive blank on the fact the Withers sung it. As for the John Denver song the only reason I got that was because of Super Troopers. "Sunshine on my goddamn shoulders John Denver".

	@maekd: Here's the clues for the bonus answers: Post-precipitation song title common to Berri (1995) & Elkie Brooks (1977) in top ten UK hits 1970 Supremes hit. Its title may come to you unconsciously or involuntarily. Gale Garnett laughed in the rain in this, her only US top ten record (1965) --- See why they're bonuses?

	that was interesting I got 17 including the bottom 6 in the percentage but I should have known the state song of Louisiana, darn!

	You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

	slew:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 18:07 GMT	2 points
	Even before reading any clue, I typed "sunshine superman" - not sure if it's because I love Donovan or just seemed like a likely answer.

	twist:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	3 points
	Aw, Bill Withers, my boyfriend sings Ain't no Sunshine to me all the time, says it's about me. What a guy!

	I feel ashamed that I didn't get Little Miss Sunshine even though I list it as one of my favourite movies..

	You've confirmed my subconscious optimistic tendencies...also, love to see the occasional Canuck bonus slipped in. may the sun shine on you....

	Chocolatl:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 21:24 GMT	7 points
	zala--that's a possessive, not a plural, and it should be 1990s'. Even if the fact that people use the apostrophe incorrectly now means that it will be correct some day, it is not correct yet.

	rockgolf:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 23:05 GMT	0 points
	Maybe it will be correct by the 2010's.... ;)
