No it was

'The Puppy Song'!

Fair enough!

Round 1: 39 :cheer: lucky guess for

Lean On Me as the Mud cover

and lucky-ish with the year!

 

Round 2: 30 - didn't get

Paul Anka (50/50 between him and Adam Faith and I chose wrong), Snowy White

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

True, Gold, To Cut A Long Story Short

 

^ Congrats on the R1 full house!

 

Round 1: 33 (didn't get:

The Brand New Heavies, Tight Fit

)

Round 2: 33 (didn't get:

Sharam 69, Snowy White

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Gold, True, To Cut A Long Story Short)

 

 

All of the threes!

Great scores across the board Jade, I wasn't 100% sure it was

Tarzan Boy

in Round 2, good song though!

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

The year, Brand New Heavies, Mud

 

Round 2 : 30 Didn't get

Amy Grant, George Ezra, Beverly Knight

 

 

Consistent with 30 today.

 

3 in 10 : 3

True, Gold, Through The Barricades

 

I got the same three songs as two others here.

33 and 33 too

and how amazing it was one of the questions was about

Tori Amos-Cornflake Girl

 

missed just the a couple oldies questions each time

thought today's questions were easier than usual, especially R1

 

only got 2 for the 3 in 10,

not an early 80s music fan

 

 

 

 

Can we have some less encyclopaedic people playing this please so I don't keep embarrassing myself posting low to middling scores on days when everyone else is effortlessly getting 30+! :snif: (congrats all in all seriousness tho :kink:)

 

Round 1: 15 (missed

Rick Astley (-6), 1988 (-3), 'Midnight At The Oasis' (-3), 'Lean On Me' (-3), Fugees (-6), Tight Fit (-3)

)

Round 2: 15 (missed

Amy Grant (-3), 1993 (-3), Paul Anka (-6), 'Hurry Up Harry' (-3), 'Tarzan Boy' (-6), Snowy White (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Gold', 'True', 'Lifeline'

) - thanks #1 album sessions teaching me a third song from them beyond the obvious 2

 

Aside from better guessing at the years (was 6 years early then 4 years late today oop) I feel like the only other ones there that I should have got were

Fugees and Amy Grant - the former I just forgot about entirely but then kicked myself when it was read out, while for the latter I got 'Big Yellow Taxi' and 'Joe Le Taxi' mixed up and said Vanessa Paradis :drama: although I am not sure I'd have been able to quickly recall Amy Grant's name anyway tbf

. The rest ring no bells at all so 30+ scores were completely out of my knowledge limits today!

(I did know Sham 69 had a song called 'Hurry Up England' which was of course a World Cup themed update of 'Hurry Up Harry' but had no clue at all about the original title oop)

 

 

Seconding the love for the

'Cornflake Girl'

clip tho <3

15 is more than the contestants seem to get most days. Sometimes you can tell their minds go blank after getting 1 or 2 questions wrong, but when Ken asks how many they're aiming for or get when they're playing at home, many of them say somewhere in the teens. I'll take encyclopaedic as a compliment though!

Round 1: 36 (didn't get:

Ultravox - slowly walking myself through their discography but didn't know that one well enough yet

)

Round 2: 27 (didn't get:

Queen, 1987 (two years out), Monsoon - an annoying miss as that song was mentioned on Scott Mills' show recently

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Lullaby, Friday I'm In Love, Lovesong)

 

 

A clip of

'The Legend of Xanadu'

:cheeseblock: :heart: was happy with those R1 retro questions, knew the year thanks to

Edison Lighthouse

 

 

Only knew that

Scarlet

song because

it was entered to BJSC back in the day when the rules were a lot more relaxed :P

 

 

Today's choice of 3-in-10 artist :wub:

Round 1: 36 - didn't get

Ultravox

nooo, I recognised the title. Well done to the contestant getting 39!

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

1987 (one year out with 88), Monsoon (couldn't come to me, I guessed Mirage)

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

In Between Days, The Lovecats, Lullaby

 

 

Post Popmaster song: ABBA - Eagle *.*

Round 1 : 36 for me as well

I knew the year was 1970 or 1971 but went for 1971

 

Round 2 : 27 Didn't get

Nirvana, The Mixtures, Ed Sheeran & Taylor Swift

 

 

3 in 10 : 3

Lullaby, The Walk, Love Cats

 

did poorly today, most questions were pre-85, so impossible for me

did 15 and 24 only

but the 3 in 10 was super easy ;)

Back at work (and Popmaster) today.

 

Re: getting 15 points, Bre, if we were doing questions on just the last decade or 2 I would also be getting 15 points (If I'm lucky!) and you and Jade would be getting 39 :lol:

 

Round 1: 39

Round 2: 36 (I hadn't a clue about

the Ed & Taylor track

)

 

3 in 10: rattled off 4 or 5.

 

 

Round 1: 24 (missed

The Waterboys (-3), The Osmonds (-6), Ultravox (-3), 'Independent Love Song' (-3)

)

Round 2: 15 (missed

'Fat Bottomed Girls' (-6), 1987 (-3), Engelbert Humperdinck (-6), Monsoon (-3), The Mixtures (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'Lullaby', 'A Forest', 'Friday I'm In Love'

)

 

I feel like I should have been able to get 36 on round 1 today (

just missing Ultravox as well like a couple of others did

), the others were all ones I knew but just couldn't recall quickly enough. Wow another person getting 39 in quick succession! Like buses they are x

 

Very frustrating on round 2 as I got the

Queen

question correct with my gut instinct but then changed to

'You're My Best Friend'

for some reason :drama: Though no kicking myself over any of the others. 2 years late for the year.

 

Re: getting 15 points, Bre, if we were doing questions on just the last decade or 2 I would also be getting 15 points (If I'm lucky!) and you and Jade would be getting 39 :lol:

 

Fair, but then Jade usually does a lot better than me as well anyway :kink:

 

It's all in good fun really but just saying it'd be nice for my ego if there were some more people here who got closer to the average scores of the actual contestants haha.

Round 1: 30/31 - didn't get

Melba Moore, Mott The Hoople

although for the latter I guessed

Rock instead of Rock And Roll

so might have got a point for that

 

Round 2: 27 - didn’t get

Nicky Thomas, Bob & Marcia (I thought there'd be mostly pre-1980 songs in this category, and they all were!)

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

This Is A Call, Everlong, All My Life

 

Round 1 : 9 Didn't get

James Blunt, Joan Osbourne, the year, Melba Moore, Mott The Hoople, La Roux, When We Collide

 

 

I think that might be my worst ever score, I should have got the last two but just couldn't think of them.

 

Round 2 : 18 Didn't get

The year, Nicky Thomas, Santana, Bob & Marcia, Tiffany

 

 

3 in 10 : 0 I couldn't even think of the song that was in the no.5 poll and I had

Walking Into You instead of Walking After You

 

 

 

27 and 15, 2nd round was very difficult

with most questions being from the 70s

 

 

3 in 10 kinda easy, maned to name 10 in 10 :D

33 round 1:

Said 1975 instead of 1973 for James Blunt, Said Joan Ohhhhhhh for Joan osbourne

:lol:

 

36 round 2: got all the reggae questions but had a momentary memory lapse on one of the others, and Ive had a memory lapse on the memory lapse. :lol:

 

2 only on the 3 in 10. I always struggle to recall their songs, much as I like most of them.

I couldn't listen in the office so I awkwardly tried to catch up on my phone during my lunch break. However, it crashed after R1 so had to wait until I got home to finish :lol:

 

Round 1: 30 (didn't get:

Melba Moore, Mott The Hoople

)

Round 2: 21 (didn't get:

Jona Lewie, Nicky Thomas, Bob and Marcia, Tiffany

)

Three-in-Ten: 3
