Posted November 10, 20213 yr So as it often goes with my quizzes, people did better than I was expecting. I always seem to underestimate the skills of Buzzjack! A couple of the backwards songs were fairly obvious but had I been doing the quiz I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have got all ten. I was pretty happy with the guess rate for the connection though, 11/21 got it which I think indicates just the right level of difficulty :) I'm not going to drag out the results, ain't no one got time for that, so I'll reveal the answers five at a time. Here's the clip again for reference:
November 10, 20213 yr Author 1. Justin Bieber - Sorry fRh_vgS2dFE This was probably the easiest of the backwards songs because I purposely included the distinctive main hook of the song, so it's no surprise that it was correctly guessed by everyone who took part. 2 points: Dobbo, chrissmith276, jimwatts, Jade, , xajnipi, JulianT, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, CowCow, Doctor Blind, n4yr, Danvember, Ansel, CJK, Dot Branning, dandy*, rio309, LewisGT 2. Shaggy feat. Rayvon - Angel XWJrPzAUzAs Correctly guessed by 17 people, probably due to Shaggy's distinctive voice. A couple of people didn't get the song correct but still correctly guessed Shaggy for 1 point. 2 points: Dobbo, chrissmith276, jimwatts, Jade, xajnipi, JulianT, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Riser, CowCow, Doctor Blind, n4yr, Danvember, CJK, Dot Branning, dandy*, rio309, LewisGT 1 point: PeteFromLeeds, Ansel 3. Kool & The Gang - Celebration 3GwjfUFyY6M Another fairly easy one, only one person stumbling on this one. 2 points: Dobbo, chrissmith276, jimwatts, Jade, , JulianT, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, CowCow, Doctor Blind, n4yr, Danvember, Ansel, CJK, Dot Branning, dandy*, rio309, LewisGT 1 point: xajnipi 4. Michael Bublé - Hollywood QBrlYtV60GA 2 points: Dobbo, jimwatts, Jade, JulianT, StoneDragon, Riser, Doctor Blind, Danvember, Ansel, Dot Branning, dandy*, LewisGT 1 point: xajnipi, n4yr This one stumped a few people. A couple of people went for George Ezra and one for Gary Barlow so not a million miles away but no cigar! 5. Basement Jaxx feat. Dizzee Rascal - Lucky Star vMVKBA8NXK4 2 points: Dobbo, jimwatts, Jade, JulianT, StoneDragon, Riser, PeteFromLeeds, Doctor Blind, CJK, dandy* The joint least correctly guessed of the ten. Incorrect guesses ranged from (understandably) The Prodigy to (bizarrely) Rammstein!
November 10, 20213 yr I only got number 4 after realising the theme, not sure I’d have recognised it at all otherwise. Same goes for at least one in the second half.
November 10, 20213 yr Lol, I was going to put "something by Dizzee Rascal" for Number 5 before I realised the theme and just listed random songs that might fit for the ones I didn’t know based on that. Didn’t even think of that song.
November 10, 20213 yr I thought Q4 was Michael Bublé straight away, but once I worked out the theme that helped me get the song - and also Q5 (which sounds scary as hell backwards!)
November 10, 20213 yr Author 6. Kris Kross - Jump 010KyIQjkTk Anoter fairly easy one from those backwards-dressing teens, this was correctly guessed by 15 out of 21. 2 points: Dobbo, jimwatts, Jade, xajnipi, JulianT, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Riser, Doctor Blind, n4yr, Danvember, CJK, Dot Branning, dandy*, LewisGT 7. Skepta - Rescue Me 6TTceYEJif4 The other joint least correctly guessed of the ten, and strangely someone different guessed Rammstein for this! Do a lot of backwards songs sound like Rammstein!? 2 points: jimwatts, Jade, JulianT, StoneDragon, Riser, Doctor Blind, Danvember, dandy*, LewisGT 8. Rihanna - Take A Bow J3UjJ4wKLkg Another one that was correctly identified by most people, guess there's not much mistaking Rihanna's voice! 2 points: Dobbo, chrissmith276, jimwatts, Jade, xajnipi, JulianT, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Riser, Doctor Blind, n4yr, Danvember, Ansel, CJK, Dot Branning, dandy*, LewisGT 1 point: PeteFromLeeds 9. The Script - Rain iA-MHxa8C8 Correctly guessed by about half, roughly what I was expecting. 2 points: Dobbo, jimwatts, Jade, JulianT, StoneDragon, Riser, CowCow, Danvember, Ansel, dandy*, LewisGT 10. Green Day - Holiday A1OqtIqzScI Lots of people getting this one, and easily my favourite song of the ten, what a tune :wub: 2 points: Dobbo, chrissmith276, jimwatts, Jade, xajnipi, JulianT, paulgilb, StoneDragon, Riser, Doctor Blind, n4yr, Danvember, Ansel, CJK, Dot Branning, dandy*, rio309 1 point: LewisGT Edited November 10, 20213 yr by Mangø
November 10, 20213 yr Pleased to have all of them so far! I adore Basement Jaxx but it did take me a hot minute to place the exact song :lol:
November 10, 20213 yr Ah I heard the Skepta bit at the end of the song but then thought the rap bit sounded more like Where Dem Girls At! Not a good round for me!
November 10, 20213 yr Yes the Skepta and Script ones sounded vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure I'd have guessed them without the theme!
November 10, 20213 yr Author And now for the theme, which as I said was correctly identified by 11 out of 21 players. Those who didn't get it will surely be kicking themselves once they see what it is... Sorry, Angel, Celebration, Hollywood, Lucky Star, Jump, Rescue Me, Take A Bow, Rain, Holiday - yep, the connection is that they of course all share titles with Madonna singles! (Anything along those lines got you the 5 points) Now for the bonus points. What percentage of players will get all ten songs correct? (closest gets 3 points, second closest 2 points, next closest 1 point, nothing for anyone else) Wardy only attempted the second half of the quiz so I'm taking it as 20 players who attempted the first half, of which 6 got all ten songs correct - that works out as exactly 30%. And impressively xajnipi is spot on, going for a guess of 30%! CowCow was the next closest with 32.8% and then JulianT with 20%. So that's 3 points for xajnipi, 2 points for CowCow and 1 point for JulianT. How many of the ten songs will be correctly guessed by all players? (2 points for being spot on, nothing otherwise) Only one song was correctly guessed by all players and that was 'Justin Bieber - Sorry'. A total of five people went for 1, so a 2 point bonus goes to: chrissmith276 Danvember Riser StoneDragon Dot Branning Second half answers coming next and I'm just gonna announce them all at once as I'm a bit rushed for time!

November 10, 20213 yr The Basement Jaxx song is just a racket IMO, hearing it backwards was almost an improvement :kink: The Skepta song was one of the toughest for me but glad I finally remembered it! Edit: Wow, glad to get a couple bonus points, I thought my guesses would be way off on those!
November 10, 20213 yr As soon as Hollywood got revealed it clicked. However, I must admit I don't know Angel, Lucky Star, Rescue Me, Take A Bow or Rain by Madonna so wouldn't have probably got it! Madonna is a clear gap in my knowledge! Edited November 10, 20213 yr by chrissmith276
November 10, 20213 yr Oops I put 5% so underestimated everyone :kink: on the other hand I overestimated for the other question by putting 2 :lol: Got the connection though :cheer:
November 10, 20213 yr Oops I put 5% so underestimated everyone :kink: on the other hand I overestimated for the other question by putting 2 :lol: Got the connection though :cheer: I think I went for 0% haha!
November 10, 20213 yr I was expecting Sorry and Celebration to get a full house of guesses, was so nearly correct… but still wrong! Annoying that I went for 19% on the first question though, again so very nearly a point
November 10, 20213 yr Lol, I was going to put "something by Dizzee Rascal" for Number 5 before I realised the theme and just listed random songs that might fit for the ones I didn’t know based on that. Didn’t even think of that song. Oop scratch that it was Skepta that I was going to guess Dizzee Rascal for before I put random Madonna songs instead! :kink:
November 10, 20213 yr I was expecting Sorry and Celebration to get a full house of guesses, was so nearly correct… but still wrong! Same!
November 10, 20213 yr Author Second half answers as follows.
