a little bass quiz from the folks at mental floss. http://www.mentalfloss.com/quiz/quiz.php?q=629
if one can't get 10 out of ten then ... well i dunno, maybe listen to more music
most should be pretty easy
( i got 10/10 )

Reason: read 'message in a bottle' but had 'walking on the moon' line going in my head

Got the first one wrong, for cultural differences — sorry, but my knowledge of '70s American tv show themes is limited being a Brazilian born in the '80s. Barney who?
And the Journey one. What's with the all-Journey question? I mean, an all-Beatles question could at least have four famous, possibly familiar songs to choose from. But Journey? 
The rest was easy.
All in all, not the most life-changing test, but a fun way to waste two minutes.

I missed the Message in a Bottle. Too simple of a line a guess.

Message in a Bottle was odd, I usually play it a little differently, but I also didn't learn it note-for-note. The December 1963 took me a little also, until I recognized the chord progression.
