5 years early for the second year.

Blancmange was an annoying miss, just couldn't pull it out of my memory in time grr! Also knew I'd kick myself when he said the answer for the Chris Rea bonus as I knew the voice was familiar grr + I should have known 'U Can't Touch This' wouldn't be right for MC Hammer so maybe should have been able to guess 'Pray'. Also ngl when the clip of 'Got To Give It Up' played I did think it sounded a lot like 'Blurred Lines' for a second, I don't think I'd have got it otherwise as I don't think I've ever heard the song in full, only clips of it because of the Robin Thicke lawsuit :ph34r:

1 year late for the first year and 1 year early for the second -_- (another annoying one on round 2 where I initially got it right but then changed my mind). A bit of a frustrating day for me in general, still relatively ok scores overall but there were a few here that I should definitely have known but was rusty (

'Some Guys Have All The Luck' has come up before in a reverse question i.e. naming one of the 3 artists who had a hit with it, and then The Rolling Stones was just a bad mind blank moment and I definitely should have known the Honeyz and Freddie Mercury songs too

). At least I got the 3 in 10

despite the artist only having 1 song

:D

Weirdly

Phil Collins

came into my head first when

'One More Time' was mentioned, clearly confusing it for 'One More Night'

, before realising who it actually was a second later, then he popped up for the next question for real :lol:

I got 41/65 in Ten to the top 1st round today, highest I ever got and I used my joker on question 4 but didn’t get a wrong answer until Q8!
