1. A slow browser threw me off and I ended up with a paltry 23/28. Oh well. We can’t all be Tony. 😀

   • 23 isn’t too bad I think – I’m interested to see how the scores shake out this week.

     • What do you mean you’re one degree of musical separation away from that guy?? How?

       • I play in Church band with his nephew.

         • Oh. That’s pretty cool. Wouldn’t that be 2 degrees? Seems like one degree would be if he’s YOUR nephew. Or maybe that would be zero degrees. Or would zero degrees mean that it’s YOU? Ha ha

         • Yeah, I think you’re right, oops.

2. 23/28 but I don’t know why cuz I know I didn’t get any Paul Simon or Paul McCartney or Peter Paul and Mary wrong but it said I did. I think I got them all right except for Paul Young. Even Paul Davis I knew.

   • Weird – it is possible on those ones to get in the wrong artist and get some wrong.

     • Oh yeah, I always forget that sometimes the name changes up at the top but I’m still clicking on songs from the previous person. I always forget that on those kind of quizzes

       • Been there before.

3. Odd. I got 23/28 too. I have no idea who Paul Davis is and I know exactly one Paul Young song. I thought I would know more of Paul Anka’s but, alas.

   • Not much variation in scores so far. I’m not sure that a lack of knowledge about Paul “Puppy Love/You’re Having My Baby” Anka is a bad thing?

     • I think Puppy Love is alright for that type of music. And also Put Your Head on My Shoulder is a pretty decent song. And My Way is good for that Las Vegas type of music. Or if you’re Sid Vicious. Or Elvis Presley. or Nina Hagen. I like all those versions,

     • Yes but he also wrote “My Way” and the theme for our Tonight Show when Johnny Carson was host.

4. I wasn’t fast but I got SCORE
   28/28
   TIMER
   00:17
   The Paul Mau**** I didn’t know but it was a process of elimination.

   • This hopped into spam for some reason – maybe it thought Paul M’s surname was a swear word?

     • lol…possibly!

5. I got all 28 correct, with 3:31 remaining. I love Paul Davis’s songs “I Go Crazy” and “Cool Night.

   • Great work. I think you’re this site’s biggest Paul Davis fan!

     • Probably so, as I’m one of the few who knew him by name.

   • Impressive. Davis is wholly unknown to me.

     • Thanks. I guess I heard his songs a lot on the radio stations I listened to back in 1978 to 1980.

6. I got 17 correct so I ain’t winning this week!!

   • Unless we discover a doping scandal….

     • Oooh! We should be testing because I think a few people might get disqualified.

       • You’ll need to mail in a urine sample to New Zealand.

7. 26/28

   • Great work!

     • Thanks!

8. Nope. Turns out I know fewer Pauls than you. 13/28.

   • I was trying to think of an indie Paul that you’d be into, but can’t off the top of my head.

9. Yikes – started strong with the familiar McCartney / Simon hits and then barely earned the 50% with a 14/28!

   • Nice to have you back – I should check out your podcast sometime.
