Posted March 29, 20214 yr The scores have been counted and it's time for the results! Click here for a reminder of the questions. Before I start, here's some quick stats on how everyone did: - 12 questions were answered correctly by everyone (9 of these were missing vowels) - The least-correctly-guessed question was answered by just 10 of the 26 participants - One person scored full points across the entire quiz!

March 29, 20214 yr Author CONNECTIONS: Question 1 The songs in these clues contain the collective names for animals, and I've replaced them with the animals they refer to. The songs were Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Bextor, Love and Pride by King, Pack Up by Eliza Doolittle, and What I Go To School For by Busted. This was correctly guessed by everyone, so well done!

March 29, 20214 yr Loved that first connection, inspired! One of these connections drove me mad, I thought I had it, but then something proved me wrong. I'm interested to see if I was close with it!
March 29, 20214 yr Author CONNECTIONS: Question 2 For this question, I think I'll let SZA tell you the connection. They're all... oh64haEP9g8 All of these artists had songs in those years about some sort of "good day" - in order, a perfect day, a beautiful day, a fantastic day, and a lovely day! This was another one where everyone got it right. Correctly answered: dandy*, chrissmith276, n4yr, JulianT, uptempo_owww!, AaronTM, RabbitFurCoat, rio309, xajnipi, Mangø, jimwatts, Soy Adrián, Doctor Blind, paulgilb, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, CJK, dan::G, Bjork, StoneDragon, Jade, Suedehead2, jakewild, coi, LewisGT, Chez Wombat
March 29, 20214 yr Oh wow, a clean sweep :o I was pleased by the amount I got when I sent my answers off but now I feel like it'll be nothing special compared to others :kink:
March 29, 20214 yr Author CONNECTIONS: Question 3 All of these artists had covers of their songs go top 40 in 2020. The Live Lounge Allstars covered Foo Fighters' Times Like These, Miley Cyrus covered Blondie's Heart Of Glass, Ritt Momney covered Corinne Bailey Rae's Put Your Records On, and Jübel covered Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight (which is itself a cover, but I figured that's the one people would be familiar with!). Correctly answered (17): dandy*, n4yr, JulianT, AaronTM, RabbitFurCoat, rio309, xajnipi, Mangø, jimwatts, paulgilb, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, dan::G, Bjork, Jade, Suedehead2, Chez Wombat
March 29, 20214 yr Ah kicking myself - should have got that. Clutching at straws that they all sung about something space related - Sun, Atomic, Star, Moonlight....
March 29, 20214 yr Ahhhhhh I forgot that the Miley version of Heart of Glass went top 40, I was racking my brains for a song that sampled Blondie in some way. In the end I gave up as the other 3 seemed like too strong a connection to worry about it.
March 29, 20214 yr That awful 'Dancing In The Moonlight' cover becoming useful for something :kink: Happy with how this whole first section went. I'm intrigued to see how many got the next one!
March 29, 20214 yr Author CONNECTIONS: Question 4 In this music question, the songs were Afterglow by Wilkinson & Becky Hill, I Don't Care by Cheryl, Perfect by Fairground Attraction, and Beautiful People by Chris Brown & Benny Benassi. The connection is that they're also the titles of Ed Sheeran songs! Correctly answered (22): dandy*, chrissmith276, n4yr, JulianT, uptempo_owww!, AaronTM, RabbitFurCoat, rio309, Mangø, jimwatts, Soy Adrián, Doctor Blind, paulgilb, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, CJK, dan::G, Bjork, Jade, Suedehead2, LewisGT, Chez Wombat
March 29, 20214 yr Oh wow, I was expecting less people to get that one with the NMTBJ element thrown in too!
March 29, 20214 yr The third intro sounded so familiar but I couldn't work out what the song was even after I worked out the link :lol: Listening now it sounds really familiar, must've been from the days I listened to the radio a lot but paid no attention to the songs I wasn't really into!
March 29, 20214 yr Good going so far! Questions 1 & 3 in the next section will be very interesting to find out...
