10 Questions
Pass one (optional)
Below are 10 song lyrics
I need for each
- the year the song was first a top 40 UK hit
- the artist who
first
had a hit with the song (Artists of a cover version will be incorrect)
Please no googling
Scoring
- year. 1 point for each year away from the correct answer
- artist, right or wrong - 2 points off your score for a right answer
Lowest overall score wins
example
"I'm gonna, walk like a man
Fast as I can
Walk like a man from you"
Answer (please present in this format)
1963 - The Four Seasons
if you said
1959 - The Four Seasons
you would get 4 points for the year, less 2 points for the group = 2 points
Questions
Year and artist required
1 "Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky"
2 "but I did not shoot the deputy"
3 "I thought, I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around and he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry"
4 "The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,"
5 "There ain't no use in you crying
Cause I'm more hurt than you
I should not been out flirting
But now my love is true"
6 "It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile"
7 "I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone"
8 "And I'd tear out the pages
That I've got in these books
Just to find you some words
Just to get some reward"
9 " Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat"
10 "If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me"
Reveal Wednesday 29th October, evening. Deadline wednesday midday
PMs to me please

Ugh, wayyyy too hard for me.
I'd hate to enter a competition & finish near the bottom, I'd die of shame.

Sadly I'm the same. Great idea but my knowledge is too poor

that's a shame
i deliberate choose very well known songs across the decades. Its meant to encourage participation not prevent it
there are no obscure songs here
if many other people find it too difficult i can re-set it, no problems

Take no notice of me, Tighty, I doubt I know the words to any songs, "The Beatles" early stuff excepted.

I think it would be far better if you gave the group names or song titles. No need to do both. If you can get that you shouldn't be 40 years out on the date. I think I can get 4 or 5 songs from the lyrics (I am definite on 4, though 1 I am not sure on the oroginal) but am absolutely lost on the other 5 or 6. Without any other reference I can't get close on the date. I am just plucking a date at random from the last 50 years. As it is there is too much benefit to googling.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Out, way to difficult at frst glance I only knew 1 and I'd have to guess the year I'd be within 10 years.
Just gooled to see and I'd have been 4 out.

It might help if I knew the tune/melody to the songs I'd probably fare far better but as it is, its way to difficult for me.

this might just be the best quiz ever - three I'm not sure on but hopefully will connect with some part of my brain at some point.
PS very disappointed that you didn't know the Bucks Fizz one yesterday Tighty!

I should have got bucks fizz, as I used to be in a bucks fizz tribute band. Confused date of song with date I was doing that. Unforgiveable
