For this quiz, there are two themes. They are closely related to one another; so closely related in fact that in common speech one could be a synonym for the other. There are at least two "two-fers". Usually themed quizzes create a situation where there are necessary forays into the more Southern regions of the Billboard charts. You may find that to be true in this case. So how hard is this quiz? I would say that several lyric sets would rate about a 10 (on the Mohs scale). Best December holiday wishes to everyone.
