Quiz night last night, and my turn to write up the events. A full strength team for the first time ever - me, David, Jonathan and Darren. Following on from last week's eventful night Wendy themed the quiz all about fire and burning. Thus before the quiz had even started we guessed several songs that eventually became answers - it was more a case of slotting the songs in the right place! We knew lots of related stuff: identified 'Babylon's burning' by the Ruts in a nanosecond; knew who accompanied Tom Jones on 'Burning down the house' and could name all four original members of Bucks Fizz ('If you can't stand the heat...'). We had no problem with the three Earth, Wind and Fire tracks and knew such diverse answers as Sparks, Ash, the Ohio Players ('Fire) and the Trammps "... with 2 M's!!" ('Disco Inferno'). We didn't know a Primal Scream track called 'Burning Wheel', were our usual year out on the Guess the Year round and didn't know Mick Ronson wrote a particular song (that I can't now remember). All in all we dropped 4½ points to register 15½ - a full 1½ points behind the eventual winners. But they didn't win the cash. That's ours next week...
