Book Description

If the SATs measured what Boomers really learned during high school, you’d find “A wop bop a loo bop, a lop bam boom” on the Foreign Language test, the Chemistry exam would be about love songs, and the Grammar quiz would include “Ain’t No Woman Like The One I Got.” These and many more tests-with-a-twist await readers of The Oldies Music Aptitude Test: Trivia Fun for Armchair Deejays. Not your run-of-the-mill Q&A trivia book, the 600 questions are grouped by irreverent musical categories such as nonsense lyrics, musical maladies, and repetitive titles, all capped off with a hilarious final score interpretation. A nostalgic delight, The Oldies Music Aptitude Test is the entertaining and informative book Boomers will embrace for reminiscing about the glory days of Rock ‘n Roll.
