Last Hussar's Quiz Night

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

No idea on any of those.....

[Techno 3]

Only confident on 3.....2 very iffy 'maybes'

[Last Hussar]

Some of those you can get if you have general pop knowledge.

If, like me, you have very little, you'll be stuffed!

[Ithoriel]

I haven't heard of more than half of these and have no idea on any of them.

0/10

[Raider4]

Still going?

Number 10 is "Papa Don't Preach", number 2 is probably "Jolene". Otherwise not a scooby. 

[Last Hussar]

I'll try to remember to post the answers Monday.

[Techno 3]

I think you should....I want to know what the second of the Neil Young songs is.

[Leon]

That's a tough round, I think I can manage 3?

[John Cook]

I agree with Ithoriel. 

[Last Hussar]

As (vaguely) promised

1   "Killing me Softly" was inspired by a performance of Don McClean.

2   'Diane' was a response from the titular 'Jolene', saying she didn't know he was married.

3   'Louise' is the follow up to 'Don't you want me baby'.

4   "Common People" is a response to "Park Life".

5   Chuck Berry sang "Back in the U.S.A."

6   Robbie Williams released a song called 'Old before I die' where he says he wants to get old before he dies

7   Johnny Darrell sang "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town".

8   Bob Dylan responded to "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" by the Beatles.

9   The Neil Young songs are "Southern Man" and "Alabama" – Either for the point.

10   The Madonna song is "Papa don't preach."

[Last Hussar]

And your next round...

   One word, different meanings
I am going to give a number of definitions for which the answer is all the same word. I want the word that is the definition. So if the clues were "a long, thin, flat piece of wood, to enter a ship, a group of people who are responsible for controlling an organisation", the answer to that is BOARD.

1   A soldier assigned to an officer as a servant, a superhero, a city in Turkey.

2   To descend from the sky, to come ashore, a distinct place or area.

3   A country, a condition, to assert, a mess.

4   To tally votes, a noble rank, to add up.

5   A fastener, the act of using that fastener, part of the body.

6   An industrial dispute, to hit, to miss in baseball.

7   A machine to transport, the process of using magic, to form by skill.

8   A mineral used as a flavouring, to destroy farmland, to store or save money or other valuables.

9   To dismiss a worker, to burn, to discharge a ranged weapon.

10   Music that is lower in pitch, a dwelling that is part of a communal building, an object with a negligible 3rd dimension.

5 for the 'pop quiz'..the guesses were right !

I'll get Von to have a go at the new one !

[d_Guy]

At last a quiz where the correct answer is self-revealing. Got seven of them, still baffled by the remaining three. No UK-centric questions is a plus!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Think I have 1, 4, 5, 6, 7? 9, 10

[Ithoriel]

Struggling with 3, I think I have the rest

EDIT: - Doh! Came to me the moment I posted this!

[Techno 3]

Same here, Mike. Can't get 3, 5 and 7.

Spurious answer for 5..but don't think 'X' can count as a part of the body unless there's another word in front of it..Hmmm.

(Never knew there was a place in Turkey called that !!...but I do, now.)

[Ithoriel]

I'm sure I finally got 3 because I stopped trying to work out the answer and let my brain work on it in the background. I finally realised I was thinking of one of the parts in completely the wrong way.

[Last Hussar]

This round was inspired by that Turkish city. I mean, once you find out about it, you just have to get it in a quiz somehow!

[Techno 3]

Is the answer to No.5 'Velcro' ?
It works with the first two clues and I think that's what the surgeon used as mesh when he repaired my hernia.

Unless I'm very wrong ... no! :-)
