Not sure the lyrics count as general knowledge so much as obscure and detailed knowledge. I suggest you remove the dates for pre-history, as it varies depending on the place, and can be as recent as the 20th century.

Thanks for the feedback 😊 The lyrics and quotes have sort of accidentally become a staple as the last question and I try to use as generally known or currently relevant lyrics and quotes as possible (with some exceptions, sure). To be fair, the running theme of these quizzes is that the questions are random, as the title suggests.

Huh, good point about the dates! I'll remove them, thank you!
