About This Quiz

You’ll play two ways. Mode A: a Wrong Lyric shows up; you pick the real line. Mode B: a line appears; you decide Real or Fake. two options each time. One truth. One troll. Same drill every round.

Use fast checks. Rhyme and stress first. Then decade and vibe. If a phrase breaks the groove, it’s likely wrong. Remember the classics people mess up, like “revved up like a deuce,” or “bad moon on the rise,” or “kiss the sky.” They train your ear.

Common bait: near-rhymes, too-clean classroom versions, and place names with the wrong feel. Tiny words matter. Of, to, no. Apostrophes too. Miss? Shrug. Next card. Build a streak.
