I was pretty amazed when we got three 30/30 in last week’s tough trivia contest – congratulations to Geoff, Tony, and Murphy’s Law.
This weeks is based in the 2000s, and requires you to fix a song title by changing a letter.

I scored full marks with 2:28 remaining. Can you beat my time?
If you missed it, we had a bonus quiz in Sunday’s Pixies post – J and I are leading so far with 14/30 – if you’d like to join the fun, read the bottom of https://albumreviews.blog/2018/09/09/monkey-gone-to-heaven-by-pixies/

21/24. If I was more careful I could have gotten them all. This is a much a test of the English language as anything. Side note – that list of 2000-era songs shows you how feeble rock had become by then in terms of any sort of pre-eminence. That said, I did enjoy “Let’s get the pasty started.”
Yes, sometimes I shy away from more modern quizzes, given my reader demographics, but I thought this one was very well put together, and as much a case of English logic as music knowledge.
Sure, no argument. It just goes back to our discussion about whither rock? Boo-hoo-hoo for old farts like me 🙁
18/24. The 2000s is a decade in music I’m not particularly knowledgeable. If I’d had extra time on the clock I think I’d have got a few more correct. Easier than other quizzes.
Good work!
22 for me this time. I dare say if I’d used up a bit more of the time I should have got 24 (I had 2:11 on the clock); still, it was good fun as always!
Good effort!
23/24, with 2:40 remaining. Honestly, I thought the titles given as clues were hilarious and ought to have been the real titles!
Yes, someone should make an album using titles like ‘A Thousand Moles’ and ‘What A Girl Pants’.
Took me a few seconds to figure out how this works and then got into a groove, ending with 24/24 and 2:10 left on the clock. Not bad considering this is not my era of popular music.
Good keeping up with the times!
24/24 2:45
Wow – is that 2:45 remaining?
Not my decade either, and it showed.
19.
Good effort though. Maybe we should tackle the 1940s next week.
22 / 24. Oh well, maybe next time.
Good effort, though!
24/24 and 03:11
3:11 remaining? That’s super fast!
I wore my cape for that one
Pathetic 13 of 24 but I’ll keep plugging away! 00’s pop music not really my thing
Yup, we should do something more retro this week.
Re: the quiz at the bottom of the Pixies piece, I wasn’t going to even touch that…. 🙂
