Thanks, have been wanting to get into this for a few weeks but kept not getting around to it but I'll try and play along each day from now on B-) (well done on the 39 as well, I have a feeling that's never happening for me :lol:)

 

My consistent mediocrity continues today, 18 seems to be my par score thus far! Hoping to keep avoiding sub-10 scores at least :kink:

)

3 in 10: 3/3 for the first time :cheer: (

'I Feel Love', 'She Works Hard For The Money', 'Hot Stuff'

)

 

My guesses for the years were

2002 and 1980

- one two years out, the other not even in the right decade whoops. I know the song

'Somewhere Down The Crazy River'

well from being on my mum's playlist but unfortunately couldn't recall the artist name! And I didn't recognise any of those

Elton

song titles at all oop x

 

Round 2 question 2 (completing the song title) was a complete lucky guess from me so that could have been a 15 too :kink:

Round 1: 36 - out by 1 with the year!

Said 1981

 

Round 2: 39 :cheer:

Three in ten: 3

Rocket Man, Crocodile Rock, Candle In The Wind

 

 

So close to a perfect day!

Great scores, Jim.

Elastica, Britney Spears

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

The year, Ed Sheeran

 

 

3 in 10 : 3

Round 1: 30

Didn’t get the year, Gloria Estefan or the band.

 

Round 2: 27

Didn’t get A-ha’s number 1, Elbow, Life In a Northern Town, Wheels on fire.

 

 

3 in 10:

Something About The Way You Look Tonight, Candle In The Wind, I’m Still Standing

 

 

Edit: I thought the bonus questions were 6 points each oops!

what happened today? questions suddenly were much much easier than the last coule days

also the 3 in 10 couldn't be easier

 

got 36 in the 1st round and 30 in the 2nd, only failed the year in the 1st one

 

 

Sade is a band not a female solo singer btw

 

Round 1: 36 (didn't get:

Elastica

)

Round 2: 36 (didn't get:

The Who

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Step Into Christmas, Crocodile Rock, Rocket Man)

 

 

SO CLOSE x2 :lol:

 

FABULOUS bonus round themes today *.* great to see us collectively doing so well.

 

That

'This Wheel's On Fire'

promo while the #5s rate is running in the chart forum :D

We also had a question about a recent Suedeonia BJSC entry today.

Beat my high score in round 1 and then beat it again in round 2! I see we all did well today so pretty accessible questions for the BuzzJack demographic I guess. Round 2 today was my first time getting all 3 of the bonus questions correct.

 

Round 1: 27 (missed

Sade (-6), 1980 (-3), Elastica (-3)

)

Round 2: 30 (missed

Roxette (-3), 2002 (-3), The Who (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Crocodile Rock', 'Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Time)', 'Are You Ready For Love'

)

 

The year questions are really proving to be an Achilles heel for me as I expected, I'm dreadful at recalling years - my guesses were

1975 and 2001

, respectively 5 years and 1 year out with one being in the wrong decade again whoops.

Roxette was an annoying miss as I confused 'The Look' with 'The Look Of Love' so my immediate thought was ABC - I knew it was wrong but I couldn't get it out of my head in time to get the right answer before the contestant said it grr!

 

 

Otherwise,

Gloria Estefan

was a lucky guess and

I only knew 'This Wheel's On Fire' due to Jade being a fan haha. Kursaal Flyers appearing was iconic too, though I think I could have guessed that answer even if I didn't know the song from BJSC

.

The year questions are pretty hard. I rely on being able to associate one of the songs with something specific in my life. If the year is before you were born, that doesn't really work.
