Music Quiz: Song Title Overlaps

31 Comments

1. 21/24. The three I didn’t get – and still don’t recognize – I would never have gotten. No clue.

   • I got one just by putting in words that sounded plausible – probably how I got my extra 1.

2. 20/24 right away, and then I gave up after trying to pound some random words in and hope for the best.

   • You made it to 20 anyway, so good effort.

3. I tied with Jim at 21/24. Can’t believe I missed the Zeppelin clue. FYI, your posts are not showing on my Wordpress Reader (or whatever that screen is called). Hope you get the kinks worked out with them soon.

   • Good score anyway. Thanks for letting me know about Reader – I seem to get some hits from it, but I don’t see my own posts in it so I don’t know what’s happening. I’ve tidied up most of the other jobs on the site that I needed to do, so I can get onto support about that. Thanks for dropping in anyway.

4. I got 24/24 with 2:53 remaining. I looked over all the clues before taking the quiz, which likely helped me.

   • Wow! Great score – not sure if anyone will beat you this week.

5. 23/24 but that last one was pure luck.

   • Good effort though – you’re obviously more clued up on the pop hits than most of the contestants.

     • Not at all. Some of it was common sense, some was that I knew one of the two songs, and the last one was just plain luck.

6. 23/24 – ‘Got…’ and ‘…on My Mind’ was the one I missed. I wanna ask if the website layout is still in redevelopment as it is a bit muddled for me.

   • Good score following on from last week’s win.

     I need to work on the front page (it’s pretty weird on mobile especially atm), and I keep clearing the cache. What’s weird for you?

7. 19 and four of those were linguistic guesses.

   • That’s some hot linguistic guessing!

8. 22/24 here – I’ve not had my coffee yet but the two I missed I wouldn’t have got for all the beans in Colombia

   • 22 is a good effort!

9. It’s the front page layout that is odd for me. Maybe it takes time to get used to.

   • I reworked it – still not very happy with it, but it should be more reliable on mobile.

10. Also when I reply to your comment, my comment is not placed under your comment and starts a new comment thread.

    • I noticed that too, I assume that’s the caching plugin doing that. I’ve mostly been focusing on having a fast site, then there are some other things to tidy up.

11. Missed some I shouldn’t have…. 20/24

    • You made it to 20 anyway.

      • Yea there was some I just didn’t know…obviously. It was fun though.

12. For some reason I can’t “like” the post. I got 16/24 and ran out of time. Even when answers popped up they didn’t look familiar.

    • Yup, the like button and the wordpress reader are both issues that I need to sort out.

13. 19/24 and the ones I didn’t get I never would. Re: the new site I have to say I really like the look of it. Like others though I don’t think your posts are showing up in the Reader. However, you have trained me well to know that on Wednesday its quiz day and i look up your site (even if it takes til Friday. :)) and then many times stay a while checking out the other posts.

    • Thanks for checking in. I keep meaning to ask support about the reader, but there keep being other things to sort out.

      • Ok thanks. No problem. I also follow you on Twitter so gets alerts about new post that way as well.

14. 21/24 on this one!

    • Good effort!
