    Fun Fact: John Denver's song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is not about the state of West Virginia, but about the western part of the state of Virginia. Both the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River are in Virginia, not in WV.

    Yeah, most were easy, although it's amazing how much harder it can be when you just read the words instead of hearing them with music. Good thing I correctly figured out 3 of them based on what fit the song and/or process of elimination, though.

    The picture of the Bee Gees is not the members of the band that played on Staying Alive.
