The Mighty Music Quiz

Something a bit different to the games in the 'Neighbourhood, challenge your fellow boardies on their music knowledge with a bit of pop quizzing. Identify the artist from a line of lyrics, test them on trivia or if you really want to be flash, set up an intro audio clip for us to guess. It's all up to you! Whoever answers correctly asks the next question.

Starting you off with an easy one, which song do these lyrics come from?
"No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark"

ok here goes, one for the 80's kids...

Huey Lewis and the News, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Jennifer Rush all had 1985 hits with The Power of Love. What was unusual about this?

What? - apart from being 3 different songs with the same title?

Lee Spoons · Subject: Re: The Mighty Music Quiz Tue 06 Oct 2009, 09:34

Exactly that!

(well, unless it turns out Huey Lewis, Holly Johnson and Jennifer Rush were the same person or something. This was the 80s after all)

Your go Ticky

Okie doke - From which song are the following lyrics (heh heh!) -

'What a show, there they go smokin’ up the sky, yeah'

Crazy Horses - The Osmonds? Or SAHB if you prefer (I would). Or the Mission appararently.

SAHB did it as well?! Personally I was an Osmonds fan in the early 70's! DONNYYYYYYYY!!!

Mr_K · Subject: Re: The Mighty Music Quiz Tue 06 Oct 2009, 12:38

OK then, talking of Crazy Horses, who links Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr?

heshofcheese · Subject: Re: The Mighty Music Quiz Tue 06 Oct 2009, 15:16

Nils Lofgren has played guitar with all three of them.

btw Ticky was right with the power of love answer. I thought it was an unusual thing to have three different songs of the same name in the charts in one year, can't think of another occasion. scratch

"Do Anything You Wanna Do" - Eddie and the Hot Rods. Love it, classic track.

From which 1980's album is this taken?

The Unforgettable Fire - U2

D'ya know what? That's amazing!
I just heard 'A Sort of Homecoming' in the car and having bellowed along to every word of it, thought I'd log on and post it on the 'I forgot how good that song is' -thread! Then I saw this question...
Spooooky!
