Great fun, 10/10, a little easy to figure out the songs but I have heard those songs a lot but didn't know some of the lyrics. Keep them coming...

10/10 I remember when these songs came out. I guess that I'm getting old. However, they still bring back good memories!

I'm like a lot of you - I didn't know the knight song, either.
But, I kinda knew the other two, so like Paladin, I got those by default.
I got an A+! And I gave it BQE. That was fun. Thanks, Froggy!

Ray Stevens' "Guitarzan" is the more urbane and witty rejoinder.

10/10 I never really knew the words to Wooly Bully and I never heard of Kinight in Rusty Armor, but educated guesses helped. As for The Streak, oh, I remember that song VERY well. It's second only to Mississippi Squirrel Revival on my list of favorite Ray Stevens songs. A fun quiz!
