I was almost certain the Monkey thing must be something else starting with S.

I cry out in despairing disbelief, on behalf of all of Generation X.

But do check out the video. It was pretty revolutionary at the time, and is still a glorious example of the fun wackiness that is stop-motion animation.

Surprised there was no 'Stand By Me' or 'Lean On Me'. Maybe for part 2.

Although the forms are identical, 'Fly Like an Eagle' is not an imperative but infinitive, because it is preceded by 'I want to...' in the lyrics.

Same with Shake it Off. It's always "I shake it off" in the lyrics.

I probably could've gotten a lot more if I had realized they are in alphabetical order before hitting "Give Up"...

Once I realized that the answers were in alphabetical order, and the answer was between "shake" and "stop", it could totally have been "spank".

I didn't even realize that they were in alphabetical order until I read the comments after finishing the quiz.

Got them all except the Doors, which I would have had if I had a little patience and thought about it for five seconds.

Besides "Beat it", "Eat it" by Weird Al Yankovic should have been there as well.

I really think the description of the quiz is incorrect. The imperative verb does not form a request rather than give a command. The interrogative form is the request.

The imperative mood is a grammatical mood that forms a demand, a command, an instruction or a request.

The only time it can really be interpreted as a request is when adding please to the sentence, but even then it's really just a polite command. keithflow is right. I'm not sure why someone would choose the most subtle and misleading part of the definition as your explanation and not even include that it is a command form of the verb.

Even so, joez is not incorrect. The description is accurate enough. If you google 'imperative mood' it almost unerringly states a version of the following:

"The imperative mood (often referred to simply as a command) is used to express demands, instructions or requests".

No please required.

The interrogative form (or mood) is a question (which usually requires an answer) rather than a request.

Just a pet peeve, you accidentally put The Beach Boys as "The Beachboys"

"Can you fill in these song titles...?" This is one time they should have told us to instead of asking.

Now there's an interrogative. But it could indeed have been an imperative (if it weren't phrased as a question).
