This book contains 24 fun, challenging music trivia puzzles that will test your knowledge of rock and pop songs and artists from the past fifty years. It includes Chained Melodies, Absurdist Lyrics, Scrambles, Classic Rock Blocks, and Musical Murder. Enjoy them on your own, or challenge your friends, family and coworkers!

A sample puzzle:

Don Puma, the host of radio station KILL’s popular “Classic Rock Mondays,” has been found murdered in his booth. Can you help Detective Tinear fit the facts together to catch the killer?

1. The murder weapon was found next to Puma’s body. It was the same as the one mentioned in the last verse of the Eagles classic “Hotel California.” What was the murder weapon?

2. The coroner has determined that the time of death occurred in the afternoon, at the same time as that mentioned in the first verse of the Golden Earring song “Radar Love.” When did Puma die?

3. A reliable witness overheard Puma talking to someone right before the time of death, and he called the killer by name. The killer’s first name is the same as the second name mentioned in Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing.” What is the killer’s first name?

4. There is well-known Pink Floyd song that has the exact same title as a well-known Bachman-Turner Overdrive song. Detective Tinear has discovered that the first letter of the second word in the title is the same as the killer’s last initial. What is the killer’s last initial?

5. It turns out Puma was a photography nut, and he managed to take a picture of his killer before he died. Unfortunately, he only got a shot of the killer’s eyes, which are the same color as the eyes in a song title from the 1971 album Who’s Next. What color are the killer’s eyes?

The suspects:

• Scott, the morning DJ, who has an extensive knife collection
• Hannah Green, director of advertising
• Mr. Harrison, promotions director, who was meeting with the station owners from 1 to 3 PM
• George York, the news director, who was meeting with the station owners from 3 to 5 PM
• Martha York, his wife, who has blue eyes
• Harry, the new security guard
• Jenny, the intern from Los Angeles, who has a license to carry a gun
• The cleaning lady, who has hazel eyes
