I know this one, and she ain't from Essex.

Pixie Lott wasn't born then...

Denise Van Outen? Although she'd have been 11 and therefore you're probably on a register somewhere.

Elton John?

You don't know this one because she is from Essex. Gt. Baddow to be precise......

clarion · « **Reply #606 on:** 27 January, 2010, 09:25:36 am »

All I can find about Great Baddow is that Jack Straw (no, not him; the Peasants' Revolt leader) came from there. I don't know how old you are, bobb, but I think this pushes the bounds of credibility.

I didn't have you down as a Hi-NRG fan, MSeries

Didn't take you long Searchin for that. I wonder if bobb was hoping to Turn it into love. Maybe we should call it a day.

MSeries has it!

MSeries · « **Reply #610 on:** 27 January, 2010, 10:50:59 am »

OK. I like lyric questions, easy to google for them but that would be a hollow victory

what song is this from

"The diving man's coming up for air cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair"

Girls on Film- Duran Duran (not googled; I just remeber "by the hair")

Yes, Girls on Film. Go for it Martin.

Twas actually a question on Pop Quiz on BBC1 with Mike Read !

Martin · « **Reply #613 on:** 27 January, 2010, 10:59:52 am »

which two singles were released simultaneously in an effort to beat each other to the no 1 spot in 1995?

(titles and artists)

jogler · « **Reply #614 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:02:40 am »

Blur & Oasis.Can't remember titles

clarion · « **Reply #615 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:03:31 am »

Oasis - Roll With It

Blur - Um, Country House?

Edit: I think Oasis won.

JT · « **Reply #616 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:06:38 am »

Blur won.

correct; although I thought it was Blur that won

What links Johnny Lee, Texas Slim, Delta John, Birmingham Sam and his Magic Guitar and Johnny Williams?

PaulF · « **Reply #619 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:16:44 am »

The Dobro?

clarion · « **Reply #620 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:18:02 am »

No. Don't think a Dobro was used in any of their performances or recordings. Maybe, but it's not significant.

citoyen · « **Reply #621 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:44:21 am »

All pseudonyms of John Lee Hooker?

clarion · « **Reply #622 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:48:22 am »

Very good, Smudge!

I thought it might take longer. I left out 'The Boogie Man', and 'John Lee Booker' cause they might have given it away. Much as John Lee's voice must have done when his record company heard his recordings under those pseudonyms for other labels. Quite distinctive.

citoyen · « **Reply #623 on:** 27 January, 2010, 11:49:41 am »

Lucky guess! I knew Delta John and took a stab based on that (though Johnny Lee was a wee bit of a giveaway).

Now I'll have to think of a question...

OK, another "what links" question but shouldn't be too taxing....

The Strokes
The Wallflowers
Wilson Phillips
Miley Cyrus
Norah Jones
