“What's going on?” could also be Four Non Blondes.

And A Perfect Circle

Level 74
Oct 17, 2013
That's all I could think of as well, though I'm ashamed now that I didn't think of Marvin Gaye. I also couldn't get past Bruce Springsteen for 'War, what is it good for?', though I knew it was a cover.
+2
Level 50
Oct 17, 2013
But it is a mighty fine cover at that.

Level 62
Oct 17, 2013
agree with 4 Non Blondes

Level 29
Oct 17, 2013
Ditto, 4 Non Blondes!

Level 60
Oct 17, 2013
Yup, that was my guess too. Should have got Gaye, but it's a pretty common question, apparently

Level ∞
Oct 27, 2015
Four Non Blondes will work now
+2
Level 85
Apr 21, 2016
Yes, but in the song they ask "What's going on" even though the title is "What's Up?"
+1
Level 67
Apr 21, 2016
Agree with interopia. Most of these are just lyrics, not song titles, so Four Non Blondes should work.

Haha that's what I guessed

I'm shocked not to see "What is love?"
+1
Level 89
Apr 21, 2016
I'm guessing it was on here originally, but it was replaced by "What's new, pussycat?"

Frankie Goes to Hollywood did a cover of "War" back in 1983 which was pretty darn cool.
+1
Level 78
Apr 22, 2016
War, what is it good for? could also be Frankie Goes to Hollywood. For those in my generation.

While my generation is mostly familiar with the Springsteen version...

Springsteen was who I guessed, I was mad it wasn't there. Great version.
+2
Level 88
Jun 25, 2019
No.

Just no.

Absolutely everyone knows the original from 50 years ago. The version from 30ish years ago has not endured.

Little-known fact: War, what is it good for? was Tolstoy's original title's choice for War and Peace but his mistress convinced him to change it.

I'm definitely going to bring that up the next time I meet a famous Russian author so as to impress him. I hope he doesn't throw my phone out the car window.

Burt Bacharach should work for "What's New, Pussycat?"

Obscure, but a certain segment of the Gen X alternative-meets-artsy-fartsy music crowd will immediately recognize, “¿Que es mas macho, pineapple o knife?”

I greatly enjoyed this quiz. Bravo!

Not in my country. Never heard of the Creedence version, but very familiar with Tyler's.

Level 85

Absolutely! I guessed Tyler and had never known it was a cover.

Level 69
Jun 23, 2019
For some reason the Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” was registering in my nostalgic Gen X brain as Nik Kershaw’s “Wouldn’t It Be Good”.
+1
Level 53
Nov 24, 2019
Took me a while to get that one because my brain did the same thing!

Level 83
Jul 6, 2019
How about Peter, Paul and Mary for "how many roads"? With no evidence whatsover, I'd guess that gets more airplay today than the Dylan original.

Level 67

I'd guess you are very mistaken.

Nov 25, 2019
Their version did better on the charts when it was released, but I think Dylans version is the one I hear more often. Either way I think accepting the artist who covered the song is fair enough.
+1
Level 84
Dec 4, 2019
The PP&M version is the one I've heard FAR more often, and would've been my guess...had it not been for the photo of Bob Dylan at the top of the Quiz. So I quickly surmised which artist the quiz was looking for.

Level 60
Nov 23, 2019
It's are we human or are we denser, not dancer.

Level 57
Nov 23, 2019
no its 100% Dancer

Level 67
Nov 24, 2019
It's definitely "dancer." Brandon Flowers was ridiculed for that lyric when the song came out, and he defended it and explained why he thought "dancer" made sense. I remember reading it in Rolling Stone.

Around the time Elton John sang "Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza"?

Level 61
Nov 23, 2019
I didn't know Creedence had two E's in the first syllable, so I tried Fogerty, and then gave up. Whoops.
+2
Level 75
Nov 23, 2019
I put CCR. it worked.
+2
Level 65
Feb 24, 2020
I tried Baja Men and when that didn't work, Baja Boys.
+1
Level 59
Jul 15, 2021
Ha, same. I put Fogerty. Then Credence. I almost put CCR but thought I'd add another e to Creedence and it worked.

How about another quiz with the answers to these questions? I know the first one is 42.

When you play What's New Pussycat 21 times back to back on a diner jukebox, the first time the song repeats people don't automatically think "hey! someone is playing What's New Pussycat again," they think "hey! What's New Pussycat is a lot longer than I remembered."

War, what is it good for? I typed in Frankie, and that was enough. I've never heard of Edwin Starr, anyway.
+1
Level 66
Dec 21, 2021
At first I thought it had to be a group so I tried P,P&M for the first one. Surprised that is not accepted as an answer.
+2
Level 74
Dec 21, 2021
Temptations should work for War
+1
Level 62
Dec 21, 2021
Please accept Crazy Frog for "What's going on?"

Level 77

This definitely should just have a caveat asking for the highest-selling version.
