Round 1: 39 :cheer:

hadn't heard that Shakatak song but I knew they had one of that name

 

 

Round 2: 36 - one year out, noooo! :Perfect day gone :nocheer: I was leaning towards the correct answer, then for some reason I thought

Mamma Mia

was the year before, oops

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Go Your Own Way, Dreams, Don't Stop

 

Round 1: 27 (didn't get:

Shakatak, The Eagles

)

Round 2: 30 (didn't get:

The Four Tops, 1976 (one year out), Fine Young Cannibals

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Everywhere, Albatross, Go Your Own Way)

 

 

Nice one, Jim. Funnily enough I chose

1975

as well because of

'Mamma Mia'

- I guess I associate it with being #1 next to

'Bohemian Rhapsody' - "Mamma Mia let me go!" :P

but didn't think about how that began quite a long stay at #1 at the

tail-end of 1975

, so this would spill into the next year

Yeah, I actually forgot about

Mamma Mia coming after Bohemain Rhapsody

until afterwards. I just remembered it came before

Fernando and Dancing Queen, also in 1976.

Great scores anyway!

~

 

Thursday 2nd (3 years early on round 2) (

And another half remembered one here as I said 'Lily Pink And Cherry Blossom White' lmao, was partly mixing it up with 'Lily The Pink' in my head I guess. Lionel Richie was a bit of a bad miss as I confused 'Dancing On The Ceiling' with 'Dancing In The Street' and said David Bowie whoops x The Pink Panther theme and John Farnham both showing up as answers though *.* + need to check out The Psychedelic Furs' song as it sounded cool

~

 

Friday 3rd (7 years early / 2 years late) (

I knew I'd recognise the Labi Siffre song but not sure I'd ever have been able to recall it. The second year question was quite a bad miss, I forgive myself not knowing older years but anything within the existence of BuzzJack I have no excuse for whoops...! Otherwise tough questions on round 2 for me, including another Alison Moyet question which per tradition I couldn't get as I could only think of Annie Lennox songs :D

)

 

Round 1: 24 (missed

1977 (-3), 'Buffalo Gals' (-3), Maxine Nightingale (-6), 'More, More, More' (-3)

)

Round 2: 12 (missed

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

R1: 24 -

Shack Attack -6. Ringo Starr -6. Madness -3.

 

R2: 27 -

Four Tops -3. Fine Young Cannibals -3. Simpsons -6.

 

3in10:

And completing the catchup, hopefully I will finally be back on the ball again after today :kink:

 

Yesterday:

 

Round 1: 18 (missed

Paul Hewson (-6), Declan MacManus (-6), 'Rush Hour' (-3), Marty Wilde (-6)

)

Round 2: 6 (missed

'Not A Dry Eye In The House' (-3), Marc Almond (-6), 1982 (-3), The Undertones (-6), 'Love Can Build A Bridge' (-3), The Stylistics (-3), Dina Carroll (-6), Red Box (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Sk8er Boi', 'Complicated', 'I'm With You'

)

 

Had no clue for any of the bonuses in round 1 but nearly a full house on the non bonus questions, spoiled by yet another half-remembered answer as I said

'Golden Hour' instead of 'Rush Hour', JVKE on the mind clearly

. (

I am giving myself the points for Bob Marley & The Wailers, I also just said Bob Marley but Ken would have prompted me like he did with the real contestant so ~ Also The Temptations was a total guess!

)

 

A mare on round 2 though whoops - another case of me getting the year right and then changing it in my head grr (2 years early), otherwise

I nearly guessed the Meat Loaf title correctly but for some reason said 'Not A Dry Tear In The House' instead of 'Eye' despite that making no sense :') maybe Ken would have given me 2 points for that x Also I confused 'Love Can Build A Bridge' with 'Ferry Cross The Mersey' oop

.

 

~

 

Today:

 

Round 1: 24 (missed

Shakatak (-6), 1994 (-3), Eagles (-6)

)

Round 2: 27 (missed

The Four Tops (-3), Fine Young Cannibals (-3), 'Walk On By' (-3), Madonna songs order (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Dreams', 'Go Your Own Way', 'Everywhere'

) - have got 6 out of 7 of these in my catchup session today, and 2/3 on the other one, good going for me B-)

 

Once again got the year right for round 1 with my initial gut reaction then changed it to a year later arrrgh. Frustrating every time. Probably should have got

Eagles

too but never even heard of the artist for the first bonus so no kicking myself there.

 

3/3 bonuses for round 2 yass -

I saw The Simpsons were in the podcast title for an earlier episode and was disappointed I couldn't whip out the iconic 'Deep, Deep Trouble' as an answer but could do for today!!! I saw that on an old Top of the Pops episode I watched with Jade a while ago and we made a bit of a meme of it haha

. I think this was the first 'put these songs in order of release' question I've got wrong since I started playing though aw (

I got 'Holiday' 1st correct but then got 'Human Nature' and 'Hollywood' the wrong way round

).

I am crying at the fact that 3 people got a full house in yesterday's round 2 and Jade also got a 36, meanwhile I got 6 which was my joint worst score ever *_*

Round 1: 33 (didn't get:

Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones - got 'Paint It, Black' right but the other two the wrong way round

)

Round 2: 33 (didn't get:

Bon Jovi

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Lost In Music, Frankie, He's the Greatest Dancer)

- surprised that

'We Are Family' didn't come into my head

 

 

All of the 3s :heart:

 

I was so happy when the first contestant chose the

#1 hits

category! (the opening question being a

Beatles

one was pretty neat too)

 

A question about

Shakespear's Sister ahead of tonight's listen through

though *.*

Round 1: 36 - all going great until the final question - same as Jade, as I wasn't sure when

Start Me Up

was released.

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

Hello I Love You, although I was considering it and settled on Touch Me which didn't even chart

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

We Are Family, Thinking Of You, Lost In Music

 

Round 1 : 27 Didn't get

Thin Lizzy, Ed Sheeran, Franz Ferdinand

 

Round 2 : 21 Didn't get

The Doors, the year, Bon Jovi, Lewis Capaldi

 

 

3 in 10 : 2

Lost In Music, Frankie

 

 

Round 1: 27 (missed

'Waiting For An Alibi' (-3), Marcella Detroit (-3), 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' (-6)

)

Round 2: 21 (missed

'Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves' (-3), 'Hello, I Love You' (-6), Bon Jovi (-6), Diana Ross songs order (-3)

)

3 in 10: 0/3 - I recognise a couple of the songs on their list of hits but would never have been able to name them whoops.

I was also confusing them with The Pointer Sisters as the contestant did!

 

 

 

Oops at blanking on Marcella Detroit's name considering the listenthrough about to happen! Also a little annoyed I didn't just guess Bon Jovi for that round 2 bonus as I did think it sounded like them. My guess for Wham! was 'Club Tropicana' which wasn't even a #1 ooops + the Diana Ross one was a total guess as I didn't recognise any of the songs named, I got the first two the wrong way round.

 

Round 1: 24 (didn't get:

1985 (one year out!), Sylvia, Bachman-Turner Overdrive (completely froze on the spot despite being familiar with this), Styx

)

Round 2: 15 (didn't get:

Scott English, Dee Clark, The Beat, George Harrison, Lynsey de Paul

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Oops!... I Did It Again, ...Baby One More Time, Toxic)

 

 

That second bonus round was brutal :( oops at me not recognising

George Harrison

from that clip. I was hoping for

'Crazy Horses' and 'A Horse With No Name' :P

 

Round 1: 39 :cheer:

 

Round 2: 24 - didn't get

the first two bonus questions, Lynsey de Paul

(I didn't like the sound of either of those bonus question sets)

 

Three in ten: 3 -

...Baby One More Time, Sometimes, Toxic

 

Round 1 : 39 :cheer:

Round 2 : 12 Didn't get

Scott English, Fun Loving Criminals, Dee Clarke, I Want You Back, George Harrison, Lynsey de Paul

 

 

The second round was much more difficult. The woman was really unlucky to be given those questions.

 

3 in 10 : 3

Baby One More Time, Born To Make You Happy, Lucky

 

yes super difficult 2nd round today, poor woman, the 2 rounds couldn't be more different

I got a full house for everything...!

 

(OK I cheated with

I Want You Back

, I forgot the title before the rundown ended and then I said it before Ken said it! ) So I didn't really get everything.... :lol:

Round 1: 24 (missed

1985 (-3), Sylvia (-3), Bachman-Turner Overdrive (-6), 'Babe' (-3)

)

Round 2: 9 (missed

Scott English (-6), 1980 (-3), Fun Lovin' Criminals (-3), Dee Clark (-6), The Beat (-3), George Harrison (-6), Lynsey De Paul (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Toxic', 'Everytime', '3'

)

 

2 years and 8 years early respectively for the year questions. I made the same guess as the contestant for the

Styx/Take That question

.

 

Echoing the general sentiment that round 2 was really hard, especially the bonuses, so I'm glad I wasn't alone in that (although I still got an even lower score than everyone else as usual :kink:) - it was very nearly a 6 again as it took me ages to recall

'I Want You Back'

but I just barely got it before Ken read out the answer (thanks to the contestant not knowing it) so I'm counting that :lol:

 

That's probably the quickest I've ever got a 3 in 10 although I have no idea why that third song came to mind first over so many other more obvious options x

 

Well done to a few people on full houses again today B-) my wait to have any chance at one continues x

Round 1: 33 (didn't get:

Barry Manilow - can't remember the last time I got the first question wrong, Fun Boy Three - an annoying miss

)

Round 2: 15 (didn't get:

1996 (two years out), Roxette, Jim Gilstrap, The Rezillos, The Swinging Blue Jeans - soooo annoying as I really like 'You're No Good' but forgot what it was called in the moment, Rick Astley

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(I Turn To You, Never Be The Same Again, When You're Gone)
