These are the results of Gerald's Lyric's Quiz #18.
Finally this turned out to have been one of the more competitive quizzes. Exactly what I had in mind though I think I went a bit over the edge including too many "exotic" songs. Looks like the audio clues would have been enough to make it tougher than Quiz #17. Anyway, finally we're back with extra points, stumpers, a tough race for victory and a couple of surprises.
I'm still amazed that no one seemed to recall Santana's "You Know That I Love You" even though there was an audio clip of the chorus available during the last week of the quiz. And I'm a bit sad that the other song that features Alex Ligertwood, one of my all time favorite singers ("The Spirit Of Love" by the Average White Band) stumped as well.
At least it was a bigger surprise than the fact that the Paice, Ashton & Lord song hasn't been identified (that was quite predictable), but the biggest surprise of all was that the Brecker Brothers didn't stump. I talked to Charlie from the " Pinky & The Brain Team" and he even told me this was the first line he identified when I sent out the quiz. *wow*
The bonus points for this clue actually ran in the victory for Pinky & The Brain and I'm happy to announce them the winners once again after chasing the Shoosters and the Dutch Officials close for quite some time. Congratulations!
Congratulations also go out to the Shoosters for collecting 6 extra points for finally identifying the title of the Y&T song ("Life, Life, Life") in the very last minute.
As it was real tough this time I'd say everyone who has made it to the scoreboard this time sure is a winner. The next quiz should be a little easier, but still there'll be 5 audio clues to put a little edge to the competition.
Please note that the links to the sound files in this document will expire soon, as I'm gonna need the web space free once I'll upload the sound clips for Quiz #20.
Thank you all very much for keeping the faith in spite of the hard time I seem to have given you this time.
