Intros Quiz: 1992 edition
We continue our five-yearly cycle of intros quizzes, arriving at 20 years ago: 1992. And it is timed for family-and-friends-fun at New Year’s Eve gatherings. I have also re-upped many of the previous quizzes, including the cycles 1964-89, 1965-85, 1966-86, special quizzes on Motown, ABBA, UK and US #1s, Disney songs, drums, love songs, Christmas, girls… All in one place HERE (all the answers are in the comments section).
So, 1992! It was the year Bosnia & Herzegovina declared independence, sparking off a civil war; Boutros Boutros-Ghali became UN secretary-general; President George Bush puked all over Japan’s prime minister; Mike Tyson was convicted of raping Desiree Washington; riots broke out in Los Angeles after four cops are acquitted of assaulting Rodney King; a fire in Windsor Castle added to Queen Elizabeth II’s annus horribilis; Paul “Victor Laszlo” Henreid, Marlene Dietrich, Benny Hill, Roger Miller, Willy Brandt and Menachem Begin died; and America didn’t stop to think about tomorrow
As always, twenty intros to hit songs from that year of 5-7 seconds in length. All were single releases and/or hits in 1992. The answers will be posted in the comments section by Monday. If the pesky number 17 bugs you, go to the Contact Me tab above for the answers, or better, message me on Facebook. If you”re not my FB friend, click here.
