Fans nailed Roy Orbison's iconic dark sunglasses with a 92% success rate, yet completely fumbled the heartbreaking 1968 family tragedy — where 62% wrongly blamed a car accident instead of the house fire that took his two sons. Fans know the look, but not always the loss.
When it came to the Grammy-winning song 'Oh, Pretty Woman,' more fans guessed 'You Got It' than any other wrong answer — suggesting Roy's 1989 comeback hit overshadowed his classic in fans' minds, even though the Grammy was earned by the timeless original.
