Great quiz. I know it's song titles, so less flexibility with spelling but I wish it would accept things like:

Tie a yellow ribbon round the OLD oak tree. (in addition to ole) and GANGSTER'S paradise (in addition to gangsta's), and SURFING USA (in addition to surfin) I knew all of those but wasn't aware of the spellings, so didn't get them right.

Tweaked it, "Gangsters Paradise", "Surfing USA", and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree" should all work as alternate spellings
