A: Two classic AC/DC tracks were played, from For Those About To Rock. One was the eponymous track. The other escaped us. Can you name the year in which they were released?
B: A two-part question ... identify the 1960s artist and title of the song which incorporated a reworked piece of classical music (clue: the original composer was Tchaikovsky).
C: An extract of the late 90s ditty "Goin' Down" was heard. Can you name the artist's solo title, her Spice moniker and her actual name?
D: "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee ... how many weeks was this classic at number one in the UK charts?
E: Both the title track and the artist started with the letter E in this question - name the artist, the song and the featured singer (clue: the latter was MC Kinky).
[F and G weren't used]
H: What is H from Steps' real name?
I: Name the artist and the title of the song which includes the lyric "... I fell asleep beneath the flowers, for a couple of hours, what a beautiful day ..." (yes, there are a few who've done it, but the answer lies in this particular letter).
J: Two JJ72 tracks to identify: one started "The dreams of dying mothers; I awoke, my insides shuddered ..." while the other began "Escaping contamination; Is a difficult; Operation; I need some hibernation; Hide me from the evil; Protect me from the vultures ..." What are the titles of those two songs?
K: KLF is an acronym. For what?
L: We heard "Pretend You're Dead" ... name the band, infamous for their on-stage antics at the Reading Festival.
M: "97' Bonnie & Clyde", a cover from Tori Amos' recent album Strange Little Girls was heard ... who was the original artist?
N: We heard a karaoke version of an American boy-band hit, the chorus of which included the lines "It might sound crazy; But it ain't no lie; Baby ...". Name the band and the song.
O: Oasis have had fifteen top 100 hits in their career. Name eight of them.
P: In what year was PJ Harvey born?
[Q wasn't used]R: What are the next thirteen words in REM's monster hit "Losing My Religion" after the following: "Life is bigger; It's bigger than you; And you are not me; The lengths that I will go to; The distance in your eyes; Oh no I've said too much; I set it up."
S: Name the title of last week's number one hit by S Club 7 for the Children In Need charity.
T: Surprisingly, T Rex have only ever had four UK number one hits. Can you name three of them?
U: Us3 had a huge hit with "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)". Which jazz legend originally recorded the sample used in this track?
V: Two Bobby Vee tracks to name - one starts "My tears are fallin'; 'Cause you've taken her away; And though it really hurts me so; There's something that I've gotta say ...", while the other begins with "They say that you're a run-around lover; Though you say it isn't so; But if you put me down for another; I'll know, believe me, I'll know ..."
[W wasn't used]
X: Name that artist - a late-80s/early-90s house act and no, it wasn't S-Express!
[Y wasn't used]
Z: Beardy rockers ZZ Top played "Legs". But can you name the non-bearded band member?
And that my friends was that. We scored 13.5 out of 21 which, astonishingly, was the winning score ... hurrah! David drew the prize which was team tickets to Popstarz. We were indeed a safe bet (no thanks to my miniscule contribution of course!). Your answers to the above questions are welcome here.
