Congratulations to Music Enthusiast Jim, who took home the fastest perfect score in last week’s Follow That Lyric 1960s challenge. Max from PowerPopBlog guessed the bonus question first – the answer was Van Morrison.
This week it’s another Follow That Lyric challenge, but with no set decade – it ranges from 1960s chestnuts to 1990s rockers.

I scored perfect marks with 2:43 remaining – can you beat my time.
I’ve also been participating in SliceTheLife’s song draft. I’ll make a summary post when it’s all over, but if you’d like to read my opinions of Fela Kuti, read on: http://slicethelife.com/2021/07/06/2021-song-draft-round-1-pick-2-aphoristical-selects-expensive-shit-fela-kuti/

That was a fun one. I was once again slowed down a bit by my tracking pad but still got 25/25 with 3:11 remaining. Nice write-up on that Fela Kuti track. It’s been among my favorites in his catalog since I started listening to him about 20 years ago.
Perfect score! It’s sometimes hard to pick a favourite Fela Kuti track for me.
25/25 with 3:01 remaining. My wife and I saw a play in Boston about Fela several years ago. I forget how that came about. Don’t really follow him that closely.
He has a pretty interesting back story for sure.

25/25
TIMER
02:43 There were 3 that didn’t seem to fit with the others but the guesses worked.
You made it to 100%, so good guessing.
I got 25/25, with 2:03 to spare.
Perfect score – I like your pick on Hans’ draft too.
Thanks!
Jim’s not called the Music Enthusiast for nothing!😀
Sadly, I completely suck at these quizzes!
Jim’s always especially strong on the 1960s.
22/25 with :23 left (guessed wrong 3 times)
Good effort!
Thank you 🙂 Your new blog showed up in my feed this week.
20/25 for me. That was it.
Should really have chosen a 1990s one for generational fairness. I started doing the 1990s one but I devolved into guessing more quickly than I wanted to.
That was fun, but I ran out of time and din’t get anywhere near finished.
Unlike Mick Jagger, time is not on your side.
Too funny!,😂
22/25
A fine Fela Kuti track is Sorrow, Tears & Blood. In the same vein is Tony Allen’s No Accommodation For Lagos.
I’ve heard that Fela album but not the Tony Allen. Is Fela on it?
24/25 with 2:32 to go.
Almost perfect!
Yeah the last two were a 50/50 guess and I lost lol.
I wasn’t able to take your quiz. Why? Because I knew I’d fail. And failure is not something a Sith Lord countenances …. *crushing my fist and making rock crumble* Besides, I’ve been hard at work on my blog making up entries on politics and war …

22 of 25 with 18 seconds left – the last three I guessed wrong – should have known the Adele one. But I’m really enjoying these complete the next lyrics ones!
There’s at least one more to come.
No. It is Tony Allen and Afrika 70. He was Fela’s drummer and they were one of his many bands. The sound is identica, though – effortless extended Afro-Beat grooves.
25/25 with 3:11 left on the clock
Perfect score!
