I know I know, I didn't enter; blame my visit to my parents!
But I wouldn't have done badly; Lyn Collins I wouldn't have been able to name, although I've got that on some old compilation from when they were trying to educate people where samples came from and it's fairly obvious what song is about to be sung from the clip. I hadn't heard the Eric B for years and years and years. So that one would have gone.
And while Light My Fire is instantly recognizable, naming Shirley might have been harder to do. The rest though were easier, especially Love Machine. That's a song I always forget I love until I hear it, then I'm singing it for a week. My wife won't thank you for it though, I spent a lot of time singing it to her on our travels....
More of this please!!
Ha! Losers!
#2 was The Four Seasons, was it not?
Kinnel Lee, not only do you beat the intro knowing Lyn Collins and dame Shirley Bassey, but you're aving it large with the quizmaster now!
Nice work y'all.
PS What is Pints Day?
The Shirley Bassey was the one I didn't get I'm afraid.
Am I the only one waiting for the tape to unspool into the machine? Biro at the ready to wind it back in!
I actually woke up in the middle of last night with the realisation that one of them was White Man In The Palais. I wasn't quite pitiful enough to sneak out the bedroom and mail off for another measly half a point. Close thing though.
Can we all lean across the comments boxes and shake hands with Lee like we were on Countdown?
Or on Mastermind Spud, where they shake at the end often in that wet fish, trainspotter, tweed skirt or leather patches on cardigan kinda way?
great picture, ally. I dj'd again recently (for the first time in years) and took Think with me, but i thought it would be too obvious to actually play. But I did and as soon as the needle hit the record two people came up and told me it was their favourite song of all time! it'll never get tired, that's for sure...
ta everyone - thanks ever so for joining in.
i'm actually a big fan of the librariany patches on a jacket and tweed look despite not owning anything with patches on or tweedy and i thought think waas too obvious too but bloomin brilliant it most certainly is.
the picture is of a young lionel blair by the way.
and how everyone didn't get shirley bassey with my super easy burley chassis picture clue i'll never know...

I was 'borderline' for grammar school. Cut me some slack.
Gorgeous mixtape - and pretty mixtape maker!
I now see where Leo Sayer got his dance moves from. Lionel's dancing on the sideboard (not ceiling).
Y'know Ally ... this is embarrassing ... but I got 0 correct. Oh dear ... better git me to popschool :(
aces!
