What's Your Music IQ

This is just for fun. Some random questions off the top of my head while I try to recover from post-vaccine fever/chills. See how you do! I tried to make sure there were a bunch of "freebies" in there, in addition to some totally silly ones, and just a few that would be super impressive if you knew the answer to. So go ahead and take it...I dare ya! 😄

(Wuh-oh, it's telling me I have to write another long paragraph or else. Well I really don't know what else to say! Hmmm....a very difficult task. I mean, why is this necessary? Okay let me see if this is enough words now ...
