ReplyDeleteOnly three! That is surprising.
DeleteHuzzah! I scored 9 out of 10! I know nothing about the musical "Hair", so I missed #5.
ReplyDeleteErrr... Well done Kelly but please see my post of Saturday September 7th!
DeleteMy excuse Is that I don't read here daily and didn't see that post, but I can't speak for your regulars.
DeleteI got eight of them right, missed Tulsa and Frank Mills. And I'm really alright with that!
ReplyDeleteErrr... Well done Deb but please see my post of Saturday September 7th!
DeleteI got all except Frank Mills.
ReplyDeleteErrr... Well done Deedles but please see my post of Saturday September 7th!
DeleteMissed #5 and #7
ReplyDelete#5 was foreshadowed by my previous blogpost Margie!
DeleteI realized that after the fact!
DeleteFour, but I got Frank Mills only because of your very recent post about that song.
ReplyDeleteNot surprising, since much of your kind of music has never been my kind of music. I am much more familiar with music from the mid-70s (ABBA, for instance) and 80s, when I was a teenager.
Of course I got Penny Lane right - The Beatles are basic general knowledge when it comes to music, aren‘t they.
Your youth was against you Meike! However, you were alert enough to recognise that "Frank Mills" had been covered the day before! Have a lovely work day!
Delete8 out of 10 this time, I missed Frank Mills and I know it was someone you recently wrote about but thought it would be cheating to go back and I didn't know Lay Lady Lay.
ReplyDeleteI would not have thought of it as cheating. That's why I slipped that particular question in!
Delete7 out of 10.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were our musical expert!
DeleteI got 7.....didn't bother reading your post about Frank Mills as I had never heard of him!
ReplyDeleteNever been into Madonna and didn't recognise the lyrics from McCarthur Park, though of course I do know the song.
Frank Mills was. I think, an imagined character.
DeleteI missed 5 and 7. Otis Reading took some remembering. I didn't need the multiple choices or photos for 6 and 8. 10 I only knew because you wrote his name.
ReplyDeleteGood lad Andrew. You tried your best!
DeleteOnly really knew 2,3,4; got 6 & 8 from your pictures and 10 cos I know his real name. Sorry, I glaze over a bit for your music posts so missed #7.
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean #5?
DeleteYes, I mean #5. But funnily enough that line about the hair tied at the back tugged at my memories and I had a snippet of tune without making the link to "Frank Mills."
DeleteI am badly in need of a 'P' please, Bob.
ReplyDeleteJust go behind that hedge over there.
Delete7/10 - which is surprise to me - I usually haven't a clue! I failed on 2,4 and 7. I only knew Frank Mills because of your recent blog about the song.
ReplyDeleteShows your brain is in working order Carol.
Delete4/10. (Surprised I even got that many.) 3/ The word "lane" was enough to trigger the name of the Beatles song; 5/ I did read your post yesterday (but had to go back to it for the title); 6/ without suggested names + photo I'd have been clueless, but Amy Winehouse was the name that (vaguely) seemed to click with the photo in my memory; 8/ I recognized Archie from a comics magazine back in my childhood. (His name in Swedish was "Acke".) I also (kind of) remembered the song. I never saw the animated TV series, though and I don't think I ever knew that The Archies was a fictional band, or connected to the comics character at all...
ReplyDeleteAs usual you did your best Monica! Good effort.
Delete8 / 10. Got the Archies wrong I thought it was the monkees and I didn't have a clue on question 5.
ReplyDeleteNot bad Freewheeler! For Q5 you could have just looked at the previous day's post!
Delete60% - better than I thought I would. Listen to music without paying attention to who the artist is.
ReplyDelete1. Tulsa, and I say that because it was the first city in Oklahoma to cross my mind.
ReplyDelete2. Otis Redding.
3.♫ ♪ Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes ♪ ♫
4. Vogue!!!
5. Frank Mills ... I have been paying attention!
6. Amy Winehouse
7. Stumped.
8. The Archies!
9. MacArthur Park
10. Sir Elton.
9 of 10! Damn that Bob Dylan!!!
Let us just say that I am much better at this subject than geography.
ReplyDeleteI got 9 out of 10 correct, Neil. Those were the songs of my youth and you helped out with the post on Frank Mills the other day! I couldn't remember the title to the Bob Dylan song but once I saw your answers, I could remember all of the lyrics!
ReplyDeleteI don't consider songs my strong suit because I have a hard time remembering song titles but you phrased your questions well so I only missed two today, questions 1 and 9.
ReplyDelete1. Tulsa
ReplyDelete2. Otis Redding
3. Penny Lane
4, (No Idea)
5. (No idea . . and it was only yesterday)
6. Amy Winehouse
7. (No idea and I was a Dylan fan)
8. The Archies
9. MacArthur Park
10. Elton John
Well 7 out of 10. I'm getting stronger.
