Last week’s first and last song quiz created a logjam. The highest score was 13/16, and Michael Jackson seemingly tricked everyone since his early albums are relatively obscure. Congratulations to Rich, Max, Bruce, and jprobichaud, who all made it to 13.
This week we’have some music jokes. Can you select the correct punch-line?

I scored 24/24 in 3:08 – can you beat my time?

I did not beat your time but I matched your score. 2:12 was left on the clock. Most of them were fairly clever with a few groaners along the way.
I had lots of fun doing it.
24/24, 2:42 left on clock. So, second place thus far?
Yup, you’re still the fastest entrant so far.
I thought you were. Didnt I have less time remaining?
I don’t count. I pick the quizzes so it’s not very fair.
Ah! A fair man and perhaps one day the prime minister of New Zealand.
Our prime minister is younger than me.
Ah, well then you have time. When you’re elected, your first job will be – listing all NZ artist albums worst to best.
Maybe I should aim for Minister of Culture?
If you have such a thing then yes, you have my vote. Also a possible new name for your blog.
Do you know Parliament’s ‘Chocolate City’?
“Stevie Wonder, Secretary of fine arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady”
Nope.
24/24 in 5:08.
Great effort.
Impressed by all these perfect scores.16/24 for me.
English isn’t your first language, right? It’s probably more that than music knowledge.
Process of elimination on this one. They’re easier when a clue leads to only one possible answer and you’ve gotten the others through a combination of sleuth-work and dumb luck
That, and most here have a head start by following music for longer. I’m still in the discovery phase. Names like “Sharkey” & “Pellow” don’t ring a bell.
The Undertones are a little obscure, especially outside the UK.
I’m still in the discovery phase too. The more you find out, the less you realise you know.

20/24… not too bad
Not bad at all….
23/24 Close, but not quite there. This one was fun.
Yeah, I thought it was great.
24/24 with 3:14 on the clock. The Fergal Sharkey joke made me chuckle. My wife told me she wanted to see a Monkees tribute act in Switzerland. I thought she was joking but now I’m in Geneva..
3:14 remaining? Then I saw her face…
17 of 24 when I ran out of time – but that was alot of fun – did you put that one together? Kudos!
Nope wasn’t me, but I wish it was!
24 – with 1:42 remaining. I plan on using the Rick Astley joke at the earliest possible convenience!
Never gonna give that joke up.
You & that joke will be Together Forever!
Got the 24, but not an olympic record, that’s for sure.
2:12 left on the clock.
Good effort. We can’t all be as fast as Dawn Fraser.
True. I’m more of a Late Afternoon Fraser.
