November 23, 20204 yr My excuse for not getting any points for the first and third one is that I didn't realise I should still put the name of the artist even if I didn't know the song until later (I do know Coldplay and Dizzee Rascal, I swear)
November 23, 20204 yr Same here for Tiffany / I Think We're Alone Now! (I knew Martine McCutcheon sang Perfect Moment but had no idea she was in Eastenders) I didn't recognise Kajagoogoo but they were the only act I could think off whose name would fit with Goo Goo Dolls.
November 23, 20204 yr Some were able to work out from knowing one of them, like Kajagoogoo. No way I'd get the Carpenters song without looking up their chart history though!

November 23, 20204 yr Ouch at that dropped point... but it sure won't be my last One Week is such a tune - remember trying to do at karaoke and the verses are so fast... Managed pretty well until the section where it goes: Gonna get a set of better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing I never knew what the words were to that bit!
November 23, 20204 yr Brilliant start! My knee-jerk reaction to that Tiffany question was the same mistake others made too until suddenly thinking... hang on, that was Martine McCutcheon :lol:
November 23, 20204 yr Took me a minute to realise it was talking about Tiffany Mitchell rather than Butcher and I was very confused.
November 23, 20204 yr Author Question 7 Album by Crowded House containing the singles ‘Fall at your feet’ and ‘Weather with you’ Picture: Frankie Goes To Hollywood Written question: Woodface Answer Smash: Frankie Goes To Hollywoodface Commentary: A more tricky picture round here, with 80s chart toppers Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The album, one of my all-time favourites, refers to Crowded House’s top 10, UK breakthrough album, Woodface. Five points: xajnipi, M4NGO, lordp, dj_tim_e, AaronTM, King Rollo, jimwatts, Jade, Jester, dandy* Four points: Bjork One point: chrissmith276 (Woodface) Mack. (Frankie Goes Crowded House) vancey (Frankie goes to Hollywood something ) Riser (Woodface) dan-G (?? woodface) oof (frankie goes to hollywood) No points: awardinary, Paulgilb, Adele, TS0301, jlj, CianS92, ultrafolklore, PeteFromLeeds, Ansel, n4yr, ...ready for it, Cremey, Vibe, MiichaelKing21, MrAndrewMa, RabbitFurCoat, Jahq, Chez Wombat, Bré
November 23, 20204 yr Should have got Frankie Goes To Hollywood but panicked with the time constraints and wanted to make sure I finished!
November 23, 20204 yr Author Question 8 Multi-million selling album by Dire Straits Picture: Everly Brothers Written question: Brothers in Arms Answer Smash: Everly Brothers in Arms Commentary: The photo confused many and there was an even split between those who thought it was The Righteous Brothers and those who correctly answered with the Everly Brothers. There was even a cheeky Jonas Brothers in there too! The Dire Straits clue, for the album Brothers in Arms, gave many the idea that the duo had a brotherly name. Five points: xajnipi, M4NGO, lordp, dj_tim_e, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, Ansel, King Rollo, n4yr, ...ready for it, Riser, jimwatts, Jade, Jester, dandy*, Chez Wombat Four points: Bjork One point: awardinary (Righteousbrothersinarms) Paulgilb (Righteous Brothers In Arms) Adele (Jonas brothers in arms) jlj (Brothers in arms ) CianS92 (The Righteous Brothers In Arms) Bjork (RighteousBrothersBrothersinArms) chrissmith276 (Brothers In Arms) Mack.

November 23, 20204 yr My mind was completely blank on anything Brothers (except Jonas who it clearly was not!)
November 23, 20204 yr why you taking me 1 point off each right answer? that's not fair just cos I wrote my answers as Coldplay-Layla? don't think it's fair :/
November 23, 20204 yr why you taking me 1 point off each right answer? that's not fair just cos I wrote my answers as Coldplay-Layla? don't think it's fair :/ Personally I think it's fair enough, the demos at the start of the quiz showed you how to format the answers!
November 23, 20204 yr I knew it'd be either Everly or Righteous and didn't want to google cos of the time constraint. :(
November 23, 20204 yr Author why you taking me 1 point off each right answer? that's not fair just cos I wrote my answers as Coldplay-Layla? don't think it's fair :/ Sorry Bjork - part of the game is to work out how the two answers go together - you took all the spaces out of the answers (i.e. ColdplayLayla, KajagoogooGooGooDolls, DizzieRascalCallingOccupantsofInterplanetaryCraft CydniLauperPerfectMoment) but they weren't really smashed. How do others feel? I could be more lenient and award full points for those type of answers?
November 23, 20204 yr Author Question 9 George Michael sampled Anne Bancroft, from the film The Graduate, at the start of this single Picture: Demi Lovato Written question: Too Funky Answer Smash: Demi Lovatoo Funky Commentary: I was surprised how many missed the photo of Demi, as she is a Buzzjack fav, although it’s maybe because she’s covering her chin!! The sample at the start of the George Michael song is a clip from the film The Graduate; it’s Anne Bancroft's line "I am not trying to seduce you... Would you like me to seduce you? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" is spoken by her character Mrs Robinson from the scene where she is coming on to Dustin Hoffman’s college graduate Benjamin. * Chez Wombat took a hopeful guess at ‘Too Funkylie Minogue’ which made me chuckle :lol: Five points: xajnipi, TS0301, jlj, CianS92, M4NGO, lordp, chrissmith276, ultrafolklore, dj_tim_e, AaronTM, Ansel, Cremey, MrAndrewMa, Jade, Jahq, oof Four points: Bjork One point: Adele (Too funky) PeteFromLeeds (Demi Lovatouch) Mack. (CherylTooFunky) King Rollo (demilovato) ...ready for it (demilovato) Riser (Too Funky) dandy* (....... Too Funky) Chez Wombat (Too Funkylie Minogue) No points: awardinary, Paulgilb, n4yr, vancey, Vibe, MiichaelKing21, RabbitFurCoat, jimwatts, Jester, dan-G, Bré Question 10 Janet Jackson's highest peaking solo single Picture: Take That Written question: That’s the Way Love Goes Answer Smash: Take That’s the Way Love Goes Commentary: The photo is taken from the fivesome’s 90s heyday and was answered correctly by most. The song in question is criminally Janet’s highest charting song as she never had a number 1 and peaked at number 2. She of course also hit number 2 with Luther Vandross et al. on the single ‘The best things in life are free’. *A couple of people picked ‘Together Again’ as it also fit with the photo – good guess! Five points: awardinary, Paulgilb, xajnipi, TS0301, jlj, CianS92, M4NGO, lordp, ultrafolklore, dj_tim_e, AaronTM, Mack., King Rollo, n4yr, Cremey, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, jimwatts, Jade, Jester, Jahq, dandy*, dan-G Four points: Bjork One point: chrissmith276 (Take Thatogether Again) Ansel (Take That Have You Done for me Lately (??)) vancey (Take that something) Vibe (Take tha together again ) Chez Wombat (Take Thatogether again) oof (take that) No points: Adele, PeteFromLeeds, ...ready for it, MiichaelKing21, MrAndrewMa, Bré Edited November 23, 20204 yr by StoneDragon
November 23, 20204 yr Author Question 11 Single where Bruno Mars (and his dancing shoes) wants you to join him in holy matrimony Picture: Kendrick Lamar Written question: Marry You Answer Smash: Kendrick Lamarry You Commentary: Lots of different answers for the photograph on this question; Lemar and Omar both fit the second part to the answer and people even tried to switch the order and we had Young Thug and Young Jezzy smashed but the answer is Mr Kendrick Lamar. Holy matrimony refers to Bruno singing I think I want to ‘Marry You’. *M4NGO and oof had a brainfreeze and put the wrong pronoun so lose 2.5 points each. Five points: Paulgilb, xajnipi, Adele, TS0301, CianS92, ultrafolklore, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, Cremey, MrAndrewMa, Riser, Jade, dan-G Two and a half points: M4NGO & oof (Kendrick Lamarry Me) One point: awardinary (Lemarryyou) jlj (Marry Youngthug) Bjork (MarryYouYoungT) chrissmith276 (Lemarry You) dj_tim_e (Marry You) Mack.

November 23, 20204 yr Author Question 12 Name of the Guns N' Roses album(s) released in two parts in 1991 Picture: Muse Written question: Use Your Illusion Answer Smash: Muse Your Illusion Commentary: The photo shows my favourite group (and if I had remembered to vote in the Gezza’s rank they would’ve got my 30 points) Muse. Smash that together with the name of the two albums released by Guns N’ Roses on the same day in September 1991, Use Your Illusion (I & II). * Paulgilb tried to smash Wheatus with the answer – good but not right! Five points: awardinary, xajnipi, TS0301, jlj, CianS92, M4NGO, lordp, chrissmith276, ultrafolklore, dj_tim_e, AaronTM, King Rollo, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, jimwatts, Jade, Jester, dandy*, Chez Wombat Four points: Bjork One point: Paulgilb (Wheatuse Your Illusion) n4yr (The Used Your Illusion) Cremey (Muse) vancey (Museum ) dan-G (use your illusion) Bré (Something Use Your Illusion) No points: Adele, PeteFromLeeds, Mack., Ansel, ...ready for it, Vibe, MiichaelKing21, MrAndrewMa, Jahq, oof
