The American Pie lyrics quiz is here!
Don McLean’s 1971 hit, American Pie is one of the most iconic songs of his generation. But just how well do you know the lyrics? Take our quiz to find out!
American Pie is an epic folk rock song that, in its entirety, is more than eight and a half minutes long. The lyrics of the track have long been debated with conspiracy theorists finding links between the lines and various historical and pop culture references.
Which – if any – of these theories are true is anyone’s guess. But more importantly, American Pie is a phenomenal song that has stood the test of time.
The song is a reference to the deaths of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and JP ‘The Big Bopper’ Richardson, who all died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959. So deep was Don McLean’s influence, the day of the plane crash is now commonly referred to as ‘The Day the Music Died’, a recurrent line from American Pie.
