As an American with (apparently) okay pitch this was easy to ace, but without a "Never heard this" button I don't see how the results can be meaningful. Assuming an international audience, surely the number of missed due to not knowing the song must be non-negligible - if not indeed higher than the number of misses due to poor pitch!
