It would not accept "GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD"

Fixed. Thanks!

I got 14/20... not bad considering I last studied French about 10 years ago! The ones I missed, it was like OH DUH. Liked the quiz!

Level 58

Feb 5, 2016

LOL I never studied French but I got most of them from general knowledge :)

Level 38

Sep 25, 2013

damn....couldn't figure out "It was a good day!" 19/20

Level 70

Sep 11, 2019

dammit, I always knew it as Today was a Good Day, tune either way though

Level 74

Great Quiz. May I suggest to correct some minor french mistakes? I would write Tatre AméricainE, since tarte is a feminine word. Nous SommeS le Monde needs an S, Dimanche Sanglant Dimanche, without the E, and if everything must be said, I would advice to put Pluie before Pourpre (Pluie Pourpre) and spell Sauvez (in Dieu Sauver la Reine) with a "Z" as it is somewhat an order given to God through a prayer. Also, I would change "à" for "pour" or "vers" (Train de Minuit POUR la Géorgie/VERS la Géorgie). Otherwise, good job, especially if you are not french.

Level ∞

Sep 26, 2013

Thanks for the help! I took all your suggestions. I used Google Translate, which explains most of the mistakes. (Nous Somme was probably my fault - can't imagine Google would have screwed that one up).

Level 74

Feb 5, 2016

In French we address God with the 'tu' form like any father, so it would be Dieu sauve la reine (song titles only have the first word capitalized in French). Also you need "Les" in "Les grandes filles ne pleurent pas" and "de" to "des" in "Au revoir route des briques jaunes",

Level ∞

Feb 5, 2016

Those corrections have been made. Thanks.

Level 72

Feb 5, 2016

I actually disagree with the Yellow Brick Road comment. You should change it back to "de", which means that the road is actually made of yellow bricks. As opposed to "des", which sounds more like Yellow Brick is the name of the road (as in Cypress Road, or Sunset Road, or whatever).

Level 44

Feb 8, 2016

It doesn't really matter, because it works either way. It's name is the Yellow Brick Road, but it is also a road made of yellow bricks. So they both work!

Level 71

Jul 20, 2023

What about géorgie?

moi aussi .. sympathique petit quizz pour les francophones ;)

Level 28

Sep 26, 2013

Umm maybe you should allow answers with like prepositions because everything in French comes with a preposition.....

Level 84

Jun 11, 2014

Surely the translation of 'mo' in 'mo money mo problems' should be 'pl'.

Level 86

Nov 6, 2014

I don't think so, we never say that ;).

Level 67

Feb 5, 2016

It really, really shouldn't, no.

Level 86

Nov 6, 2014

The locution "plus de" is ambiguous. If you pronounce the s, it means "more", if you don't pronouce it, it means "no more". And if you read it, you never know (which is why I missed it the first time because I don't know that song).

Level 74

Feb 5, 2016

Which is why, when writing, editors in French will tell you to use "davantage de" for the "more" meaning of "plus".

Level 71

Feb 5, 2016

20/20 pretty chuffed with myself :)

Level 86

Feb 5, 2016

Funny, though some of the titles really don't sound well in French. I just have two more suggestions to make. "Big girls don't cry" needs an article in french, so "Les grandes filles ne pleurent pas". In French, "pourpre" is rather a purplish red color, the appropriate word would be "violet", so the title would be "Pluie violette".

Level 74

Feb 5, 2016

Tout à fait d'accord.

Level ∞

Feb 5, 2016

Merci pour votre aide. La quiz a été corrigé.

Level 84

Feb 5, 2016

For anyone seeking a challenge, I recommend taking quizzes on explorer. The ads break up typing and provides a fantastic obstacle to completing anything efficiently.

Level ∞

Feb 5, 2016

Yeah, sorry about that. Internet Explorer is a lost cause. It's nearly impossible to test and causes all sorts of problems that don't occur with other browsers. I think, maybe, the new Microsoft Edge browser might be okay.

Level ∞

Feb 5, 2016

And also, sorry if the ads are disruptive. We really do keep them down to a minimum. We have two ads on the page. Some sites have more than 20! We also barely make any money off the site as is.

Level 55

Feb 5, 2016

Two ads aren't bad at all! I only ever have a problem with them when it's one of those that plays a video; it does make the cursor lag a bit, but it's certainly a minor thing. Thanks for all you do for the site--I know we all appreciate it!

Level 67

Jan 16, 2019

I have no problems at all with the ads on my laptop. On my phone however it often overlaps the quiz (like 10% of the time) so the first 3 or four questions I cant read.

Level 55

Feb 5, 2016

@MrMagoo, I have found that to be quite a good challenge myself, which is why I almost always use Chrome. Microsoft Edge isn't too bad. Still has a weird thing where the screen refreshes every minute or so and clears the typing space, so that's also a good challenge if anyone wants one. It's especially challenging if you don't realize the cursor isn't in the box and keep typing for a good several seconds anyway, because then you get the fun of typing it all again!

Level 67

Jan 16, 2019

Often my cursor is not in the box, it takes nearly a minute of every quiz for me ( well not the small ones) But it "my own fault" because it happens when I scroll. It is very annoying though... And I dont allways realize the cursor isnt there...

Level 68

Feb 7, 2016

I hate those damn video ads!

Level ∞

Feb 7, 2016

Me too. It's annoying. I tried turning them off. But then our already meager earnings dropped by 50%. You'd be surprised how little JetPunk actually makes. It's more a labor of love than anything else since I can easily be spending my time more profitably elsewhere.

Level 44

Feb 8, 2016

I've never had ads on any quizzes while using ie

Level 89

We were just studying Internet Explorer in history class.

Level 65

Feb 5, 2016

I got 4 and I don't know any French at all.

Level 75

Feb 5, 2016

Same here. I recognized words here and there but couldn't get enough to make into a song - moon, black, etc.

Level 68

Feb 5, 2016

Well, at least one thing my BA in French is good for. I got 20/20 with 1:30 left. :D

Level 67

Feb 5, 2016

Fun quizz! And as a French speaker I can confirm that the French is good as it is now. Only remaining mistake that needs correcting: Georgia needs to be capitalized. Although that other poster was right about song titles only having the first word in capitals, proper nouns are of course an exception to that and need to retain their capital.

Level 56

Feb 5, 2016

Arrrg, I have never heard of Sunday bloody sunday so I kept typing Sunday bleeding Sunday. It makes sense now but that's the only one I missed. :/

Level 75

Feb 5, 2016

Never heard ? Maybe you are too young... Sunday bloody sunday is one of the most famous songs of the irish group U2. But this song is now 33 years old.

Level 55

Feb 5, 2016

Oh damn I feel old!

Level 89

Feb 5, 2016

Got 'em all. Now my French teacher won't be disappointed.

Level 31

Feb 8, 2016

Damn good idea for a quiz, i'd love a German one.

Level 73

Feb 17, 2016

Being French, I crave those quizzes about translations, it helps a whole lot. Those are the ones where I don't struggle to find what the answer can be in English, when I perfectly understand the question, but can't even...

Level 28

Oct 17, 2016

I just translated the page.

Level 89

Jul 3, 2018

Hope you walked away learning something.

American Tart?

American Slut?

American Whore?

I guess we know where my mind is.

Level 58

Jan 24, 2017

Typed Midnight Train to Georgia about eight times and it wouldn't take.

Level 67

Jan 16, 2019

I tried minute train and small train.. (the other meaning of minute)> Am I the only one?

Level 84

Feb 23, 2017

Got "Lapin Blanc" thanks to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, where Irina tells Ricky Tarr of that Victorov's (aka Polyakov) driver in the Russian Embassy in London goes by the code name "Lapin", which unbeknownst to him was French for rabbit. Other than that, I completely crashed and burned on this quiz.

Level 68

Apr 5, 2017

The problem with this on Google Chrome is that Chrome can translate the page

Level 67

Jan 16, 2019

You can also copy the text and translate it. Just dont. I dont see the problem

Level 64

Jul 26, 2023

Also Microsoft Edge

Level 93

Jan 9, 2019

shouldn't it be dimanche dimanche sanglant?

Level 67

Jan 16, 2019

Hmm.. another thing learned.. I thought it might be black whole sun, but it wasnt. Never knew it was hole instead of whole.. (mind you I was young when I first heard the song)

and i couldnt get passed journey for journée. Tried trip journey but gave up because thought there could be too many variations.. (I know jour is day, but didnt recognise journée)

and yea like I mentioned above, minuit made me think of minute or small (minúte)

Level 48

Dec 1, 2022

Have you never heard the phrase "Bonne Journee"?

Level 28

Jun 17, 2020

there's a bif spelling mistake where it says "mo money mo problems" instead of "no money no problems"

Level 59

Jul 6, 2020

Plus = more in French.

Level 71

Aug 29, 2022

Derrière. I couldn't think of any song with butt in the title.

Now I understand that it's just the polite word for it, like how you say 'behind' in English. Cause I always thought derrière just meant butt.

Level 48

Dec 1, 2022

It means butt, but more commonly means the direction.

Level 75

May 28, 2023

God Save the Queen should be changed to God Save the King
