Intros Quiz Update

[bohemiancoast]

You can still do the Easier Intros Quiz here, and with ten entries I think I now believe that Everyone Will Know At Least One of These Songs (go on coth, prove me wrong!). So far we have five songs that every entrant has known, and no entries that nobody has known (though there's one that only one person has got, for all that it was a Huge Hit). I'll keep it up till Sunday or so.

Points scored so far (along with Answers To Correspondents as appropriate)

nuttyxander 40. Very good. But you've got one wrong, and it's one that nearly everyone else got right. And I liked your answer to the extra credit question, because it's one of the ones I didn't know in one of the other intros quizzes.
captainblue 39
ang_grrr 38. Still hanging your head in your hands?
swisstone 37
drplokta 35.5, and you need to trust CDDB a little less and condemn a little more. Shouldn't even have given you a half point really; it's a shocker.
andrewducker 35.5
suaveswede 31.5
flooks 31.5
the_maenad 30
akirlu 30
dmw 29
baldanders 28
madcatwoman 28
the_gardener 28. No, number 18 is not "definitely by the Human League", and number 12 is not "Whoops Upside Your Head".
pdcawley 25
snowking 21. I was slightly worried that nobody on the right side of 30 would be able to do this quiz, but nuttyxander seems to have done rather well.
miramon, who did to be fair only do the quiz relucantly, 10.5

Still hanging your head in your hands?
No, not now I've got one more than Tony!

I want to know if, like me, nuttyxander listens to Radio 2.

Oh, and going back to look at it I realise I'd missed out the name of an artist (no. 21). Silly Ang. Always read back through exams.

I have no other guesses for 12 and 18. (12 was a wild stab in the dark, since "Whoops Upside Your Head" was the only 70s disco tune I could think of that seemed to come remotely close.) I know that I didn't answer three or four of the questions, because I didn't know them, so I'm not surprised my score fell below 30.)

Was one of the ones I didn't know an Oyster Band track, by any chance?

Everyone will know at least one

We're not going to go through and answer them, but we're sure of two, and could research two more from what we remember of the lyrics. A few more were familiar. If the Dowd Household (one popular music illiterate, one who can't hold or remember tunes) can do it, anyone can.

Didn't I do this?

Fascinating. The ones that were easy were almost uniformly embarrassingly easy, which makes me wonder about the ones I didn't know, because with one exception, they weren't even remotely familiar. I wonder if that's a transatlantic thing.

Say, are we supposed to be looking somewhere else for the answers to this quiz, or what?
