Rock and Roll Trivia

[winston]

Almost a clean sweep there Evan. It seems I have a hard time stumping you.

The four household names were:

Free
Foghat
Atomic Rooster
Cactus

[winston]

The first single released by Black Sabbath was "Evil Woman/Wicked World". "Evil Woman" though is a cover tune. Who did the original?

[scotty]

The Band Crow from the album Crow music.
They played early in the morning and Cawed up in the trees annoying the hell out of people!

Its getting harder boys!
What do the songs `Killer` by Adamski, `Paranoid Android` by Radiohead and `True Faith` by New Order have in common?
Also just a wee teaser
How many times are the words `Hey Jude` mentioned in the Beatles song of the same name? 14, 24 or 34?

[ozover50]

I counted 27 with a 'maybe' 28th, so I'll say 34, Scotty.

Plus 13 "it" or "it's", 11 "better", 6 "don't" and 20 "you", "your" or "you're"..... wanna try for the "na"'s???????

[scotty]

Nope sorry Aitch it is 24! That still leaves my other question?

[winston]

Who is the most charted British female album artist of the last 30 years? Name her association with another famous British singer who is deceased.

[ozover50]

Interesting, Scotty. I sat there and listened to it three times and recorded each "Hey Jude" with a stroke of the pen. There are only 7 in the main part of the song and plenty in the outro. I included one or two (maybe three) that weren't sung by Paul - perhaps that's where the difference lies.

So for the moment I am in dispute with you!!

[scotty]

I need to double check that when i get back from work heres the answer to the other question.
What do the songs `Killer` by Adamski, `Paranoid Android` by Radiohead and `True Faith` by New Order have in common?
The song titles aren`t mentioned in the lyrics

[leftyguitars]

Hey Jude - I got 8 in the main song up to and including the 'wobbly' one, then 19 in the outro (including a couple 'Hey Jude's thrown in by Paul, but not including the Jude, Jude, Jude, bits). And like H, I ticked with a pen as I listened. So my answer is 27.

[ozover50]

Spot on, Pete! Checked it again and came in with 27. You're right about the main song..... there's one 'non-Paul' one, making it eight.

[leftyguitars]

You have to be really listening to catch the 5th one (at 1.47).

[scotty]

Ok guys 27 it is! Scotty was 2 out.Wise guys!

[scotty]

Oh no! not again!!

[captsandwich]

I don't like ovations. I don't understand why people think they're the cat's knees, the bee's naughty bits, whatever metaphor.

By the way, I couldn't understand a word in the video, but the song is Love Cats by the Cure.
