Madonna Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

A Madonna quiz is really a dating game: hear a song and place it in the right reinvention. Guess the Madonna song from the 80s club-pop of 'Like a Virgin', 'Material Girl', 'Like a Prayer' and 'Vogue' to the William Orbit electronica of 1998's 'Ray of Light' and the ABBA-sampling disco of 2005's 'Hung Up'. Test your trivia on the era pivots and the deep cut 'Sorry' from 'Confessions on a Dance Floor', then see how well you really know Madonna when a round jumps from 1984 to 2005 between clips.

The 80s anthems everyone places

Start with the decade that made her: 'Like a Virgin', 'Material Girl', 'Papa Don't Preach', 'Like a Prayer' and 'Vogue'. These 80s and early-90s hits are the easy points in any Madonna quiz, the songs most players date correctly from the first bar.

Which reinvention is this?

The heart of a Madonna quiz is telling her eras apart. The lush electronica of 1998's 'Ray of Light' sounds nothing like the bubblegum club-pop of 1984 or the confessional disco of 2005. The trap is a song that does not match the Madonna you picture, because she rebuilt her sound every cycle.

Dating the deep cuts by decade

Superfans separate on the album tracks that never went to radio: 'Rain' from the 'Erotica' era, 'Frozen' from 'Ray of Light', 'Sorry' from 'Confessions on a Dance Floor'. Place one of these in its decade from a short clip and you are pulling ahead of the room.

The samples and curveballs superfans catch

The trickiest questions hide at the edges. 'Hung Up' is built on an ABBA sample, 'Music' rides a talk-box hook, and her Bond theme 'Die Another Day' barely sounds like a Madonna single at all. A thorough quiz reaches for these to catch even the biggest fans.
