A reminder of the scoring
+1 point for every year away from the correct year
- 2 points if you get the correct answer of the artist WHO FIRST HAD A TOP 40 UK HIT with the song
The year, getting close, is the main determining factor of success

2 "but I did not shoot the deputy"
Things begin to go pear-shaped here
It was a song on a Bob Marley and the Wailers 1968 album but did not become a UK hit for Marley until posthumuously over 30 years later
the first hit version, was the most successful version

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"
I learnt something here as I assumed the huge hit version was the original. However geeky nerdy Nakor caused me to look at the song and discover it was originally penned by an American indie band ednaswap 4 years earlier. It did not chart though
and because it always makes me smile, especially when the artist herself joins in
natalie imbruglia 1997
My court order forbidding me from going within 100 feet of Natalie runs out next year

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

4 "The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,"
this surprised me a little, given the ubiquity of talent shows, and this being the most recent song

Possible they knew but were rightly ashamed to admit it ?

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"
The most difficult question in the quiz
Well done to Nakor, impressive
Redsgirl and kinboshi hit the crossbar, as eddie grant was of course the lead singer of the equals before he walked down to electric avenue etc
I didn't know, until researching, that Grant wrote this when struggling with controlling his toddler walking in Jamaica in 1967
