The fact that no-one actually got it (although thistleingrey had an idea, but wasn't sure enough, because you DO have to know MOST of the songs!) points to, yeah, this one was too hard. There have been quizzes and people have come back with "SCREW YOU HIPPAY, THAT WAS WAAAAAY TOO HARD!!!" but someone has always gotten 'em, so they were just too hard for the people who DIDN'T GET them. Too hard for ALL of us (and I daresay your friends are cleverer than in generality) is probably too hard!

Not too hard... I feel silly that I didn't catch that, considering how many of the songs I knew.

I'd thought that was the case, but then rejected the idea for some reason.

And I'd thought it was but was too embarrassed to share my guess because I didn't know enough of the songs (as kid_lit_fan also commented) and figured I was wrong.
