Team Name:

WHICH ARE YOU?

We chucked some money in the pot and want to be included in the raffle and choosing what charity gets the cash this week

just want to play thanks

If your team is pulled out of the hat which charity would you like this weeks money to go to?

We've chunked the quiz up into 3 sections so you can take a break at the end of a "page". Once you press "next" at the bottom of the page that's it, your answers are locked in. If you want you can hit the "back" button to check on your progress as the answers should be revealed

Section 1 - Some weird and wonderful connection to a theme / time / event, and a connected round of tunes - give us the tune, the artist and the odd one out

Round 1 - Connections. The Four Seasons released ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ in 1962. The following questions relate to the four seasons. All I need is the season that makes up part of the answer. EG For what its worth was performed by? Buffalo springfield? Spring is the bit I need

	Season
Name the Prima Donna who told us she felt love?
What is the name of Mark E Smith’s band?
What time was it for Hitler in the musical, ‘The Producers’’?
The George Gershwin aria from Porgy and Bess, which has been recorded by the likes of Billie Holliday, Fun Boy Three, Sam Cooke, Janis Joplin
What type of Tale was recounted by David Essex?
Originally a French song called ‘Les feuilles mortes’, it has been recorded in English by Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Doris Day
It’s hazy whether the best version of this song was done by the Bangles or Simon and Garfunkel
The kind of loving that exists between a boy called Danny and a girl called Sandy
While he boogies through the streets of “Philly” obviously looking for a late night snack for his hungry heart / she will let him take a bit of hers ‘cus its all a little too spooky.
According to Jeff Wayne it will just never stop… like it will go on to for ever and ever, unless the world ends first, or is that the point?

Round 2.

Listen to 10 clips of music, each 30 seconds (it loops around) and come up with the the song and the artist. There is a theme (hopefully you'll get it!) and an odd one out - note that down at the end

	Song	Artist

Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Track 5
Track 6
Track 7
Track 8
Track 9
Track 10

And the odd one out is>>>>

Section 2 -

Usually the last letter of the answer to the question before becomes the first letter of the next questions answer. The last letter of the answer to question ten...is the first letter of the answer to question one.

That's what we normally do here ... But instead I have some nice pictures of famous albums and all you have to do is tell me who they are by!

What could be easier?

Lyrics that are just WRONG – Artist Please

“Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sexy little skirt’s climbin’ way up her knee.”
�Girl, you’ll be a woman soon. Soon, you’ll need a man.”
�Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Brown sugar, just like a young girl should.”

Musical MADNESS – name and shame - lots of tracks, from musicals, but which?

	Musical
1 Fat Sam’s Grand Slam’, ‘My Name Is Tallulah’ and ‘So You Wanna Be A Boxer?’
2 ‘Skid Row’, ‘Suddenly, Seymour’ and ‘Feed Me"
3 The Wizard And I’, ‘Defying Gravity’ and ‘Popular’

8 U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.’, ‘Only You’ and ‘Light at the End of the Tunnel’

Songs that won Oscars – the words of homage are not mine, I may have been slightly more, um, scathing!

	Name of the Film that the Oscar winning song comes from
1 from "Set Fire to the Rain" to make you bawl your eyes out post-break-up via the mournful lyrics of "Someone Like You." Another thing she can totally pull off? Bond girl.
2 It's a song that proves that if a puppet dreams, it can become a real boy. That's pretty touching. And if puppet can become a real boy, you can become a million, gosh darn it! - sung by an insect, but is it better than Man or Muppet?
3 “no one puts baby in the corner”, and apparently NO ONE can ever say anything bad about this song by Bill Meadly and Jennifer Warnes - It's a near-perfect song for a near-perfect movie.
4 This is more than a song about two lions falling in love – it's a song that for many millenials, evokes childhood. And it was written by Elton John, which is pretty cool
5 According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Bing Crosby's version of this song is the best-selling of all-time. And even though our parents may have told us that not everything that's popular is right…100 million people can't be wrong
6 I bet that even your grandma can rap parts of this song ...in the moment.. A surprisingly poignant song performed by a man otherwise known as Slim Shady
7 You can't think of this film without at least sort of thinking about this song, little black dresses and cigarette holders." And if a film that's more than 50 years old still inspires college dorm-room posters, you know that there's something special about it
8 Accompanying a choreographed dance sequence at the end credits of the film The song features vocals from several people in several languages. At the time of release it was "the toast of the town in almost every part of the world". The film also won best picture in 2008 Then a bunch of American girls got hold of it...
