Young pop-music iconoclast Billie Eilish is the kind of artist who startles parents, spinning tales of love, lust, loneliness and distrust under a shroud of melancholy on hits such as “Bad Guy,” “When the Party’s Over” and “Everything I Wanted.”

But in other ways Eilish is a typical 18-year-old who binge-watches “The Office,” which inspired her song “My Strange Addiction.”

Eilish told MTV News: “When we made the beat for ‘My Strange Addiction,’ it reminded me of the song they play when they do the Scarn dance. I thought that was really funny, so we literally just ripped the audio from Netflix and put it in the song. … It’s about strange addictions, and ‘The Office’ is mine.”

At the beginning of the tour that stops at Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena on March 9, Eilish’s remarkable “Office” expertise was tested in a Billboard magazine video, as series star Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) visited the starstruck singer’s home to administer an “Office” trivia challenge.

Here are 20 questions from that quiz, with answers at the bottom. Eilish only missed three questions, which Wilson rewarded with a gold foil yogurt lid on a paper-clip lanyard from Season 2’s “Office Olympics” episode.
