I thought I’ll publish a few quiz questions from the world of music – at irregular intervals, and if there are any participants… (There’s nothing to win except my praise, though. )

So let’s get right to the first question:

What are the next lines after

“Hush, little baby, don’t say a word…”

and what’s the name of the song and the singer or band?

Of course the solution should be found without using any search engines… so go ahead, what’s your guess/solution?

Update 2 Nov: Congratulations to Sam who got the first solution, this English nursery rhyme:

“Hush, little baby, don’t say a word
Mama/Papa’s gonna buy you a mocking bird
If that mocking bird don’t sing
Mama/Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring”

(more – incl. variants – in the Wikipedia), and to Julia who (after a little hint) found solution #2 Metallica: “Enter Sandman”:

“Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head”

And thanks for participating!
