You know about those, but let's see if you can suss out some others in this quiz about spirits and cocktails that appear in popular songs. Cheers!

"All Star" was written as a confidence builder for fans who were bullied for liking Smash Mouth.

YesterdayThe Beatles

Where Did Our Love GoThe Supremes

The Motown team of Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote "Where Did Our Love Go" with The Marvelettes in mind, but they turned it down. When The Supremes recorded the tune, Diana Ross was forced to sing in a lower, breathier style than she was used to because it wasn't written for her.

Only YouJosh Kelley

Katherine Heigl played Josh Kelley's love interest in the video for his 2005 song "Only You." They met on the shoot, became a real-life couple, and got married two years later. That's good casting!
