Here goes...

Only one singing performer in the USA for Africa We Are The World lineup was not American. Who?

(It's guessable...)

Actually, there are at least two I can think of (assuming by 'American' you mean citizens of the USA)

Oops, I'd
a) not remembered that Dan Aykroyd was in the chorus
b) not realised that he was Canadian. Lucky chap.

So who was the other? (I figure you know...)

citoyen · « **Reply #2178 on:** February 08, 2017, 10:56:49 am »

Sir Bob!

I only ever remember Dan Aykroyd because his inclusion in the line-up seems so incongruous.

OK, next question, fairly easy...

What links the following tracks?

Elvis Presley - Return to Sender
The Scaffold - Lily The Pink
Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground

Legs · « **Reply #2180 on:** February 08, 2017, 11:31:21 am »

Could Can We Fix It? or Killing In The Name be added to the list?

Vince · « **Reply #2181 on:** February 08, 2017, 11:34:15 am »

Christmas number ones?

citoyen · « **Reply #2182 on:** February 08, 2017, 11:41:16 am »

Yep, I think Legs was there first even if his answer was more oblique.

I guess it was even easier than I expected.

Legs · « **Reply #2183 on:** February 08, 2017, 12:02:40 pm »

I can't think of a question off the top of my head, so if you've got one, Vince, fire away.

Vince · « **Reply #2184 on:** February 08, 2017, 07:52:52 pm »

I know nothing!

Peter · « **Reply #2185 on:** February 08, 2017, 07:55:03 pm »

What is the connection between Vince's utterance and a member of a royal family?

Basil · « **Reply #2186 on:** February 08, 2017, 08:40:54 pm »

Queen Barcelona?

Manuel in faulty towers "I know nothing. I am from Barcelona "

Peter · « **Reply #2187 on:** February 09, 2017, 12:43:31 am »

Correct!

Basil · « **Reply #2188 on:** February 09, 2017, 07:33:06 am »

Sorry, I don't have a question.
Carry on.

*cough*Barcelona wasn't a Queen song *cough*

Don't you come around here with your alternative facts.

Ham · « **Reply #2191 on:** March 21, 2017, 09:04:09 am »

How about what's probably an easy one:

Connection between Sinead O'Connor, Chaka Kahn and the Bangles?

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #2192 on:** March 21, 2017, 09:11:23 am »

Prince.

Ham · « **Reply #2193 on:** March 21, 2017, 09:28:50 am »

Top marks

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #2194 on:** March 21, 2017, 12:50:29 pm »

Which musician inducted which musician into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, saying "I lifted every lick he ever played"?

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #2195 on:** March 21, 2017, 01:17:11 pm »

The inductee must surely be Chuck Berry, and I'd guess t'other would be Keith Richards.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #2196 on:** March 21, 2017, 02:59:53 pm »

Yup. But it's Keef, not Keith.

Torslanda · « **Reply #2197 on:** March 21, 2017, 04:23:41 pm »

Mick & Keef

Redlight · « **Reply #2198 on:** March 29, 2017, 06:04:02 pm »

BUMP!

"The Beatles" "Exile on Main Street" "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" "Physical Graffiti" "Sign o' the Times"

Odd one out, and why?

Deano · « **Reply #2199 on:** March 29, 2017, 06:13:59 pm »

All double albums apart from Goats Head Soup.
