1. 29/30. I missed Harrison Ford. Once I narrowed it down, there were times when an obvious name would rhyme or it would have to a woman’s name or whatever.

   • I got Ford wrong too. I expect some of our Canadian brethen will get that one too.

     • Because ….?

       • Barenaked Ladies are Canadian. I don’t know their music at all.

         • Me neither. I’ll check with CB. 🙂

2. Bad bad… 24/30…I remembered some after I clicked…of course.

   • The inevitable regrets of Sporcling.

3. I’m not great at remembering lyrics but I still managed almost half. 13/30.

   • And not your first language, right?

4. Oooft. That was tough. I got 17.

   • Big range of scores this week, you got a pass.

5. Doing a happy dance with my 30/30 score. I’m glad I work alone. Otherwise I would be getting some quizzical stares right now. That was a challenge and lots of fun, covering a wide array of artists. Oh, I had 3:38 left on the clock, in case you’re looking for tie-breakers.

   • Was pretty tough, I think. Let’s see if anyone else makes it to 30.

6. 28/30. I got Wolfman and Dracula mixed up. I messed up Ford too.

   • At least you didn’t mix up Ford and Dracula….

7. I’ll take my 25/30. Can’t get too upset that I don’t know the lyrics to a Shania Twain song. 🙂

   • That Brad Pitt line from Twain is pretty memorable. I didn’t really like her at the time, but she’s surprisingly influential on modern pop.

8. I’ll gladly take a 24 – 18 solid, 6/12 for guessing!

   • Good guessing!

9. Phew! 22.

   • Was it stressful?

     • Ran out of time!

10. 24-30; felt pretty good; ran out of time and was rushing at end. That was fun -wide variety of artists.

    • Yes, was a fun list.

11. I struggled and ran out of time. 21 out of 30.

    • Sounds like a few people had issues with time.

12. 29/30 – I brainlocked on the Elton John lyric

    • Wow – good score though. They could have used “Hold me closer Tony Danza” instead…

      • I love that one – once you her it, you can’t unhear it…

13. Nope. 23/30.

    • But a valiant attempt….

14. 24. Lots of guessing.

    • Sounds like lots of educated guessing though – 24 is a good score.

      • Ha thanks, I dunno about educated. I guessed Chairman Mao more times than I’m willing to admit…

        • If you go clicking on pictures of Chairman Mao….

15. 30 for me – a couple of guesses based on rhyme and a little luck. The idea of ‘Ezra Pound and T S Eliot fighting in the captain’s tower’ still makes me wonder if Mr Zimmerman like to get small
