The Chase's Darragh Ennis shares music quiz that only oldies fans can answer

If you've ever sat down to watch some telly while you have your dinner, you'll probably have stumbled across The Chase before. The ITV quiz show sees a team of four strangers battle it out against a brainiac known as The Chaser in a bid to win huge prize money. There are currently six Chasers on the show, and their job is to use their general knowledge prowess to outsmart the contestants and stop them from winning.

One of these Chasers is Darragh Ennis, known on the show as The Menace. When he's not trying to thwart contestants, Darragh can often be found on social media, sharing his own fiendishly difficult quizzes on TikTok in an attempt to catch out his followers with tricky trivia.

Recently, Darragh posted a music intros quiz in which he shared the opening lines of a song and asked people to name the tune. If you're a music buff, this one should be easy - but there is one catch.

• Stop boiling your potatoes in water and try this simple change for a tastier result
• 'I'm a doctor - this common fruit could be harming your gut'

Every song Darragh shared in his 10-question quiz was an "old school" track from the 1950s, the 1960s, or the 1970s, so any knowledge you have of current music won't help you here.

Watch the video and take a look at the questions we've written out below to see if you can beat The Menace's quiz.
