Re: TD 388 - Mystery Theme! - Q5-Q6 and bonus revealed
It was a tough game for me because of all the personalities/celebrities and I'm doing a lot of finger crossing at the reveal that my one WAG is right. I am terrible at faces.
My biggest letdown is that I didn't go with Andrew Wiles on Q4. I've never seen his image, but I know Fermat's Last Theorem on the blackboard behind him and he's always been a rock star for me. The bonus question scared me off because I thought of Ted Cruz only for Harvard, and Wiles only for Oxford?/Cambridge?.
It's been fun, SensiCay, and I don't think anybody can spoiler the theme to me as I am still clueless.

Re: TD 388 - Mystery Theme! - Q7+bonus and Q8 revealed
For Q7, we had a music question. My apologies, as this one played a bit harder than I had hoped (maybe easier than FG's aural questions on the recent ring [j/k...those were fun...but they were pretty challenging]), as I originally planned this as an aural question, but didn't have time to cut all of the audio. At any rate...
Q7 - Letter and answer required. Based on a (possibly redacted) chorus line (term might be used loosely), give me the title and artist. All of these were on the Billboard Year End Top 100 in the same year.

Yeah, you're right - unfortunately, you put it for letter B and I didn't catch it, which is why you're listed for B. I'll fix that9021amyers wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 9:39 am This is going to cost me, but I’m positive I gave Arizona as my response for the last question.

Re: TD 388 - Mystery Theme! - Q9-Q10 + bonus revealed
Finally, in regulation, we have a before-and-after:
Q10 - Letter and answer required. Answer one of the following before and after clues. You know how it works – each answer is two phrases, where the end of the first phrase overlaps the beginning of the second. The overlap is usually one word, but some of these may have a longer overlap. Example: a current Supreme Court justice who also served as the third President of the United States would be “Clarence Thomas Jefferson.”

Dang! The last couple days I've been in Owensboro, Kentucky feasting on all-you-can-eat mutton at the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn. The sheep are hitting back so hard!

You're not kidding. I would have sworn that KISS would have been the sheep for the lyric question, so I went for Wild Cherry instead. If only I could have remembered the last name on one of them, though...

Re: TD 388 - Mystery Theme! - Q9-Q10 + bonus revealed
I had to work backwards a little to identify the original artist of “Baby, I Love Your Way.” As a child of the ‘90s, the Big Mountain white-boy reggae cover is the one I remember, but the other lyrics I recognized were clearly from the mid-to-late ‘70s. I worked back to Frampton quickly enough from there. (At least I didn’t give myself an opportunity to neg with UB40 there.)CasketRomance wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 7:03 pmsame here...figured most people didn't know the name of the group that vanilla ice covered...but surely thought everyone knew kiss and their party anthemRJRouge wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 7:00 pm You're not kidding.

Re: TD 388 - Mystery Theme! - Theme and final results revealed
Even this early in my time playing these, it was probably my best shot at a victory. Should I curse Woof for pulling ahead or Wild Cherry for being too memorable?

Re: TD 388 - Mystery Theme! - Theme and final results revealed
Curse us both, but recall that I was bit by that same sheep, too. Most galling since I could have named 8 of those songs and artists. Great TD, and congrats to you and ElendilPickle for your strong finishes. No one who knows will believe that I got a musical mystery theme
