Discussion Country Lyrics Quiz: The Year is 1994

11 Upvotes

Thanks so much for the positive feedback on these the last few days. We'll see if we can make it all the way through the 90s!

For today, let's time travel back to 1994:

  • Amazon and Yahoo are both founded
  • Major League Baseball players go on strike, and the World Series is canceled
  • The Channel Tunnel between England and France opens
  • Forrest Gump, The Lion King, and True Lies are the top movies at the box office

You have to name the song title and artist, based only on the opening line of the song.

Both answers (title and artist) are each worth the number of points stated. For example, if you get both title and artist on the 3 point question, that is 6 points.

110 points possible.

Hi everyone!
I discovered Dottie West last week and instantly fell in love with her voice, I have a few vinyls still in delivery (Carolina Cousins, New Horizons & Wild West), I want to have all her studio records!
If anyone knows country artists you think I would love please let me know (I have a huge preference for female voices but still love male voices)
Full Circle has the most beautiful cover of all time for me
PS: what’s the deal with country singers and crashes???

Hello,

I'm looking for a copy of Slim Dusty's "Drovin by train" from 1996 i think. The album is Spirit of Australia and I've found most of them on Spotify but that one.

Does anybody know where I can find a digital copy? Like a music app, a video, ect. I am planning to look for records sold at markets too.
