Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

You assume Nemmy would recognise that fact :D

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

No. 13
.... was penned by someone who had a single in the charts at the same time, in fact he was a member of both groups.
.... The lead singer appeared in David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" Video.
.... The French part was spoken by the Lead singers girlfriend at the time, who couldn't actually speak any French.
.... The single is recognised as the 'official' beginning of the New Romantic movement.

No. 24

.... Has no bass line

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

Nobody got All & All or Don't Look Any Further? :confused:

You lot are missing out on some class tunes if you haven't heard those ;)

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

Especially since I was the one who first introduced the "no googling" rule into quizzes to make it fairer! :D

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

Was in and out so much I managed to guess nine but didn't have time to PM the answers :mis: Thought one was Spacer :D

Well done Chim?

Trying to appeal to all tastes

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

So will you be hosting a quiz next week Chim?

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

Erm - as it's Christmas week and my Mum is poorly again, highly unlikely at the moment - I didn't think to have anything prepared as I've never won a quiz before. But many thanks to Gary for such an interesting (and difficult!) quiz - some of those intros are still buzzing round my head!

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

Pity...

I don't see myself doing one either. Is anyone else brave enough to volunteer?

If I recall correctly Nug really enjoys setting the quiz. Or Incog perhaps, though she will probably miss it ;)

Re: This Weeks Quiz - Spot The Intro
 

Number 6 ?
You thought right

The original version of that tune was by Sheila & B. Devotion Quicktime required.
The Swedish disco-noveau group Alcazar had a hit with the 'Spacer' backboned 'Crying At The Discotheque' in 2001.

Deliberately done to catch people out!! The very start is different
