Music Quiz thing
The university radio station are running this thing where they play a new song every day, and it relates to a "theme".
The songs so far are...
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - UNDER THE BRIDGE
2. Don Mclean - AMERICAN PIE
3. A-Ha - TAKE ON ME
4. Tin Tin Out feat. Emma Bunton - WHAT I AM
The link could be anything, relating to the artist, song, title or lyrics.
I think it's something to do with covers (All Saints covered Under the Bridge, Madonna covered American Pie, a few bands have covered Take on Me, but Edie Brickell originally did What I Am) but from there I'm stuck

Re: Music Quiz thing
it's also true that in all 4 cases, the cover version reached a higher chart position than the original
I hope JC is right though

Re: Music Quiz thing
because my true identity is
Jonathan King :eek:
actually, the boring answer is that I just suspected it to be true, and remembered that www.everyhit.com was a good place to check. I don't think it's the answer to his quiz though.
Code:
26 Red Hot Chili Peppers Under The Bridge Mar 1992
13 Red Hot Chili Peppers Under The Bridge (re-issue) Apr 1994
1 All Saints Under The Bridge/Lady Marmalade May 1998
2 Don McLean American Pie Jan 1972
1 Madonna American Pie Mar 2000
2 A-Ha Take On Me Sep 1985
1 A1 Take On Me Sep 2000
31 Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians What I Am Feb 1989
2 Tin Tin Out featuring Emma Bunton What I Am Nov 1999

We invited him onto GD. But then we told him we wouldn't let him register, because he interefered with children. But then he said that Dace did that as well, and he was allowed to post. Then we went "Oh shi"

Re: Music Quiz thing
You were wrong
I was live on the uni radio today with my answer.
I said it was "things you consume" (as the other one was milkshake, so you can't eat it).
It wasn't right though
So we have:
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - UNDER THE BRIDGE
2. Don Mclean - AMERICAN PIE
3. A-Ha - TAKE ON ME
4. Tin Tin Out feat. Emma Bunton - WHAT I AM
5. Spice Girls - STOP
6. Kelis - MILKSHAKE
7. Oasis - WONDERWALL
8. Blur - SONG 2
"We've also announced that the link isn't a word-related link, and has nothing to do with the artists. "

Not sure what #8 was, I wasn't listening.

you did know that JC was joking didn't you?
Did you seriously say, live on the radio, "...and Emma BUNton, you know, like a bun you'd eat?"
or even better
"And then if you take the H A from A-Ha and the T from Take, you get HAT, like the old 'I'll eat my hat' saying..."

Re: Music Quiz thing
Yes.
Noone listens to the uni radio anyway.
And I don't think he was joking.

Re: Music Quiz thing
It seems too much of a coincidence that 7 of those 8 got to number 2.
Are you sure the first one wasn't 'by the way' and not 'under the bridge' 'cos then it would be all 8?

Clearly, the Emma Bunton one also had Tin Tin Out - ... TINS of food!!
Is it something like "All these songs got to #2 (assuming it was BTW not UTB) and were beaten by really bad songs" ?
They always do things like that

Re: Music Quiz thing
Grrrrrrr.
I spoke to the guy last night on MSN. We aren't really friends, he's just on my list.
I asked if "Under The Bridge" should be "By the Way".
He said "No, why?"
I said "because all the others have reached #2, except for #1"
A long pause.
"Would you like to know a secret?"
"Sure"
"The website I got my information from appears to be incorrect for Under The Bridge"
"I see"
So, I re-entered.
Apparently there was "new competition" now though.
I didn't listen to the radio show. I know they haven't phoned me back though.
So because they ****ed it up, I didn't win. I'd checked the highest rank in the charts already on the first day, but saw that Under The Bridge was #1.
Stupid uni DJs.
There goes £30
