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.

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!

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 effort though. Maybe we should tackle the 1940s next week.
