Today's quiz has a mystery theme which should be fairly obvious if you get enough songs. Then, you will need to pair up the songs according to the theme.

1. And I was here to please
I'm even on knees
Makin' love to whoever I please

2. Break my body with the back of your hand
Doesn't make sense from where I stand
Baby, baby, why you wanna mess it up?

3. I see no harm or danger in escaping
If the method suits the style
We put the mind on idle
And let the others take it for awhile

4. Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch

5. There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm

6. Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands

7. There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt

8. Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry, boy, but I've been hit by purple rain

9. Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about

10. You took me in, and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

Bonus: Identify today's theme. (Try to be specific.)

Double Bonus: Using the theme, match the songs into five pairs. (4 points each.)

Final Bonus: What was the title of song #9 referring to?

Today's quiz has a mystery theme which should be fairly obvious if you get enough songs. Then, you will need to pair up the songs according to the theme.

1. And I was here to please
I'm even on knees
Makin' love to whoever I please
I wish I had time to figure this one out because it's drving me nuts!

2. Break my body with the back of your hand
Doesn't make sense from where I stand
Baby, baby, why you wanna mess it up?

3. I see no harm or danger in escaping
If the method suits the style
We put the mind on idle
And let the others take it for awhile

4. Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Blue on Black - Kenny Wayne Sheppard

5. There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
See #1... ARRRGGHHH!!!

6. Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane

7. There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
King of Pain - Police

8. Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry, boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Ventura Highway - America

9. Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about Back in Black - AC/DC

10. You took me in, and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
Sounds familiar...

Bonus: Identify today's theme. (Try to be specific.) - Well, it looks like same words in different songs (2 Highway songs, 2 Black songs)

Double Bonus: Using the theme, match the songs into five pairs. (4 points each.) - 4-9 and 6-8... guessing a the others: 1-7, 2-10, 3-5

Final Bonus: What was the title of song #9 referring to? - Back in Black was AC/DC's first album after Bon Scott's death, so I'd say it referenced their return...
