Congratulations to Angie and J. who both scored 75/78 in last week’s music grid quiz. It looks like almost no-one knew Ray J, perhaps most famous for a (non-music) video that he made with Kim Kardashian that helped to launch the Kardashian media empire.
This week you need to link a song to an artist – with the complication that a word from a song has been substituted by a similar sounding name of a U.S. president. You are presented with titles like Neil Young’s ‘Ride My Obama’, Sting’s ‘Garfields of Gold’, and The Who’s ‘Hoover Are You?’ (I wanted to make up some of my own). It should be relatively straightforward for a bunch of seasoned music nerds, but I featured it because it’s funny.

I scored 20/20 with 2:50 remaining – I played on my phone so probably could have been a little faster.
My Tuesday blog post is a reworked Steely Dan best albums ranking – https://albumreviews.blog/steely-dan-albums-ranked-from-worst-to-best. Because it’s a reworking, it didn’t send an email or pop into the Wordpress reader feed when I updated it, but it’s there if you want to read it.
I also just caught up with the passing of Malcolm Cecil a few days ago – he was a producer and synth programmer who was heavily involved in classic Stevie Wonder records like Innervisions.

Ha! Easy-peasy. 20/20 with 2:50 left. I especially enjoyed ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Trump/’ Not a typo.
I think the “Little” might be the typo….
Touché
100% with 1:12 seconds left. There were 3 I had no clue on but made lucky guesses. Woot! Woot!
Perfect score!
With a little grace from above, yes 🙂

Some good guessing, good work!
I got 20/20 with 2:32 minutes left
Perfect score, fast time!
19 of 20 with 2:10 left – had to guess on a few. Not familiar with the ABBA song from the title (even though Spotify says its has close to 225 millions listens….)
I like late-period ABBA – one of the few bands that were still improving when they broke up.
20/20.
Perfect!
20/20 with 2:28 left
Perfect score, fast time.
Not fast enough though.
17/20 – don’t know much about Kansas and I got James Brown and KC mixed up.
All we are is dust in the wind…
20/20 with 2:46 left on the clock. That was a fun concept.
Fast time!
17/20 with 2:52 left. Honestly some I was guessing.
Maybe it would be easier with Canadian Premiers?
Oh I highly doubt that.
Trudeau by Spandau Ballet?
Haha well played!
19 – I’ve got to brush up / bone up on my knowledge of Calvin Coolidge!
Too Coolidge for School.
I got 20/20 with 2:50 on the clock.
Second quiz in a row with a Brandy related question!
I think it’s a three-way tie at 2:50 – if I count.
Of course you do!
