Music Quiz
Posted by: woodface on 06 October 2000
Just a bit of fun that should sort out those who listen to music from those that listen to their hifi. Dead simple: 1st correct respondent gets to set the next question. I will start it off with an easy(ish) one.
Which Beatles Albumn ends with the following lyrics: 'I want to tell her that I love her a lot/But I have got to have a belly full of wine/I want to tell her that I love her a lot and one day I'm gonna make her mine'

Q. Where was Biggles, and when did you need him?

Biggles would have been down in Cornwall, round about last Saturday. Apparently writing memoirs for a Boy Scout manual, or some such.
So, the next question is a slight change of format. Think the "6 degrees of separation" game, but rather than from A.N. Actor to Kevin Bacon, you have to get from Geri Halliwell to Robert Fripp (I can do it in 3, it's not meant to be impossible, though feel free to use all 6 hops if you need them).

It was indeed, last Saturday.

"get from Geri Halliwell to Robert Fripp"
Hey, I can do it in less than that!
Geri Halliwell = One More Red Nightmare = Robert Fripp
OK, it's not the right answer, but I couldn't resist.

Geri is more than a bit weird… so is Toyah… Fripp married Toyah.

Laudable try Tony, with lateral approach points, but missing the even more obvious "Geri is more than a bit weird, and so is Fripp" 1 shot connection means I can't give it to you...
Also kudos to Bob, though I think the band would need to be King Ginger to let you get away with that one! ;-)

Ok, Geri was in the Spice Girls. In the mid 60's early Uriah Heep band was called Spice, ( Mick Box, David Byron, Paul Newton & Alex Napier ).
Later John Wetton joined U. Heep. He then teamed up with Fripp in King Crimson. Phew......
Bob.

Q) How do you get from Old Spice to Fripp in 3 to 6 goes.
A)
1) Geri is very good mates with Elton John
2) Elton worked with John Lennon
3) Lennon worked with Tony Levin
4) Levin worked with Fripp.
Do I get to ask the next question Pete?
Kevin.

... though you could have easily short-circuited that, as Elton John failed an audition for a King Crimson in the distant and murky past!
I still haven't got the White Album question, but will point out that Woodface's original question contains an error, substituting a second "I want to tell her that I love her a lot" in place of the correct "Her Majety's a pretty nice girl". So there!

Pete,
Want to let us know what link you were thinking of?
Q) Name at least 2 UK indie acts who have released versions of their own songs in French. You are not allowed Stereolab as that is to easy.
Kevin.
Posted on: 12 October 2000 by Pete
Was in fact through Elton John, appearing in the Spiceworld movie as himself, and failing to get into KC, membership including one R. Fripp.
Can't do the Indie/French Q, someone else's turn...
Pete.

Q: One of the men in the picture below is the son of a first rate conductor (certainly among the top 5 of all time). Name the conductor, son and TV show.
BTW--this is not a joke!

Von Klemperer
Werner Klemperer
Hogan's Heroes. Which, incidentally, compes out a little differently if you mistype 'p' for 'o'.

Rico,
You're right. How about another question?

I am? Hey, not bad for a Classical Heathen.
Hmmm....
Q. : "all the girls are slags, and the beer tastes just like piss". Name that tune, and the record it came from. 10 bonus points for naming the Bassist.

this sounds like the mac lads ??
I'd hazard a guess (long time since I heard this stuff - if it is..) at Kuntsford (scabby women)
???

Sorry. I'll have to turn this over.
(oooh isn't this fun - now I know what Mark Lamar does on Friday nights on Never Mind The Buzzcocks!)

That's Otto Klemperer!!!! Minus 25 FEPs for you.

Hey - I did admit to being a Classical Heathen, and am in need of education. It was a wild guess.
Ask again, Vuk.

Q1: Sarah Brightman to Gavin Bryars in 3 steps.
Q2: Bruckner to Joe Petrik in 3 steps (hint: it involves food along the way).

Omer.
Interesting path, but the connections are too flimsy. Hint: think about the circumstances surrounding the composition of the 8th symphony.
Vuk.
