Music Quiz: Spotify Results and Follow That Lyric – 1980s
We’ve had 20 weeks of Spotify quizzes – congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti for the overall victory. Sheik scored 390 of a possible 400, which is equivalent to only missing one clue every second week over the competition. Tony finished a very close second, only one point behind first place, while Scott led the peloton with 374. Congratulations to everyone who hung in there for the full 20 weeks. I publicly displayed holes in my musical knowledge – looks like I need to bone up on Snoop Dogg and take flight with The Yardbirds.
Here are the official results:
| Participant | Week 20 | Total |
| Sheik Yerbouti | 20 | 390 |
| Tony | 20 | 389 |
| Scott | 18 | 374 |
| Geoff (1001) | 17 | 371 |
| jprobichaud | 18 | 369 |
| Rich Kamerman | 17 | 364 |
| John (2loud2old) | 17 | 350 |
| Max (badfinger20) | 15 | 348 |
| Paul | 14 | 305 |
Normal transmission has resumed this week after 20 weeks of competition, so here’s a 1980s lyrics quiz:

I scored 28/30 – how did you get on?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
I’m very impressed with those high scorers. That was a tough 20 weeks but I think I got through it pretty well. This week’s quiz was right in my wheelhouse. An easy 30/30 with 4:15 left on the clock.

30 – I had to skip a couple and then come back by process of elimination.
Thanks for hosting the quizzes, I am delighted to earn what my brother calls the “Canada Bronze” (as in the Olympics, we tend to finish well but just off the podium) – 4th place!
