How good is your musical knowledge

[Daniel]

Same as the geography one but music based.

What song are these lyrics from and who did the original?


Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning

[EuroTroll]

Same as the geography one but music based.

What song are these lyrics from and who did the original?

Well at least I've never been to a Busted concert :p :

[Daniel]

Question? :)

[Dazz9908]

Question to CarlMetro,
As you are a DJ and such,
What is the most requested song you you get,
A. From the Recently crop?
B. From all time?
C. Worst song you played?

[walrus81]

Carl's admitted knowing Steps stuff.

Will he ever live that down? ;)
I do this on another forum and one the the girls on there was quite ashamed that she could identify the Jet song which I posted a line from.

[lilmelvschilton]

lol so go on ur turn then

[CarlMetro]

Question to CarlMetro,
As you are a DJ and such,
What is the most requested song you you get,
A. From the Recently crop?
B. From all time?
C. Worst song you played?

A) It varies as to what is in the charts but popular stuff like Scissor Sisters, The Killers and Justin Timberlake are quite popular. Plus stuff like Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce. I also get a lot of 'got any R & B' type requests from morons who wouldn't know a decent R & B track if it bit the on the bum.

B) Again this varies quite a bit. There are popular standards Such as Dancing Queen by Abba, Love Really Hurts Without You by Billy Ocean and Don't Stop Me Now by Queen but I also get lots of requests for 'party' stuff like Grease Mega-mix, Macarena and YMCA. One record for me stands out amongst all others as probably the most popular I've had requested over the past 17 years I've been DJ-ing and that is Build Me Up Buttercup by the Foundations. It was a reasonable success when first released in 1968 with 15 weeks on the charts but I think it would be a guaranteed No1 for many weeks if it was re-released in it's original format because I rarely do a show without someone asking for it.

C) Too many to list, things like Crazy Frog, Cotton Eye Joe, anything by Black Lace, the list goes on and on. That's the trouble with being someone who is trying to keep people happy :\

OK, enough of the boring stuff..............

In the UK charts the most No1 record in a year achieved by a single artist/group is three. This has been done only 13 times since the chart began in 1953, with The Beatles taking three of those 13 in '63, '64 and '65. That leaves ten other acts who have achieved three No1 in the UK charts in the same year, name three of them?

(bonus point is you can name the year ;) )

[walrus81]

bit of a wild guess here:
Cliff Richard, Shakin' Stevens, Spice Girls

[CarlMetro]

Spice Girls were actually the last act to achieve three in a year, 1996.

Cliff Richard, despite his 14 UK No1's only ever had two in a year twice, 1959 & 1960, but came close to four when both Voice In The Wilderness and Fall In Love With You both made it to No2 in 1960.

Shakin' Stevens thankfully only ever had four No1's, although two of those did come in 1981 and he neary had a third in the same year but You Drive Me Crazy fell short of the top spot at No2.

1. Spice Girls
2.
3.

[walrus81]

Take That? 1994?
Kylie "the singing budgie" Minogue? 1989?

[CarlMetro]

Take That? 1994?

1. Spice Girls 1996
2. Take That 1993
3.



Kylie "the singing budgie" Minogue? 1989?

Nope, and you're lucky you're far away otherwise I'd have to slap you for insulting my future wife ;)

Thanks Carl, it was a little interesting for me to see what you Britt's listen to when dancing/partying. :up:

[viper_man]

Where do you DJ at Carl? Is it a weddings and stuff business?

My guess is Oasis 1997

[CarlMetro]

Where do you DJ at Carl? Is it a weddings and stuff business?

My guess is Oasis 1997

Yeah it's strictly functions these days, I used to do a couple of clubs in the mid to late 90's but the dance scene has really gone t!ts up over the recent past. I've been offered an over 25's night by a guy I used to work for but part of the trouble with that is you seen the same old faces asking for the same old requests every week and it gets quite boring. I actually prefer the mobile stuff these days but only do one a week now.

Oasis have had 7 No1's but the best they've ever achieved is two in the same year and that was 2005.

1. Spice Girls 1996
2. Take That 1993
3.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I think Elvis got at least 3 number ones in 2004 or 2005 :s

Other than that I'd guess Westlife :erm:

The singles chart isn't the best way of judging the quality of an artist, the album chart is more relevent.

[CarlMetro]

No not Westlife, especially seeing as The Spice Girls where the last act to achieve three in a year in 1996 and the members of Westlife would have still been singing in their school choirs back then ;)

So a little clue would that you need to think of artists who were around prior to the Spice Girls

[schmenke]

Led Zeppelin 1971? :s

[CarlMetro]

Nope, despite massive album sales Led Zeppelin never actually made it to the top of the UK charts, but then some of their biggest tracks (Stairway to Heaven, Rock 'n' Roll) were never released as singles :s hock:

1. Spice Girls 1996
2. Take That 1993
3.

[schmenke]

Fleetwood Mac, 1977?

[CarlMetro]

Fleetwood Mac, 1977?

Their only No1 was Albatross in 1968 :\

[schmenke]

Really? :mark:

[lilmelvschilton]

not got a clue

[jso1985]

Peter Gabriel 1987?

[schmenke]

The Bee Gees 1977?

[lilmelvschilton]

is it all saints in 1997

[CarlMetro]

Nope, nope & nope

1. Spice Girls 1996
2. Take That 1993
3.

Think of a 1970's super group, one of the most sucessful in the disco scene ever ;)

[Daniel]

Caroline says Boney M

[CarlMetro]

Caroline is wrong, think bigger!

[jim mcglinchey]

Jive bunny and the mastermixers '89
Jason Donovan '89
Slade '73

[schmenke]

Please tell me it's not the Bay City Rollers :s

[Tomi]

Please tell me it's not the Bay City Rollers :s
Can be us tourist also, they wear samekind of pants :)

[jso1985]

Abba 1978?

[CarlMetro]

Jive bunny and the mastermixers '89
Jason Donovan '89
Slade '73

Yeah all three of them are correct, as was Abba, JSO but Jim beat you to it :D

[jim mcglinchey]

OK pop pickers, to whom was Belfasts' finest, Mr Jake Burns,
referring in the moving elegy from which these lyrics are taken

"you lit a flame in my heart
and it is burning still,
ane every time I hear you shout
it still gives me a thrill
I can see you up there
with your righ leg pumping..."

Chorus.

[lilmelvschilton]

is it strummerville by jake burns

[jim mcglinchey]

Oh, you beaut, I didnt think anyone was going to get that. Its Stiff Little Fingers' tribute to Joe Strummer.

[lilmelvschilton]

lol ok my go

"Listen to the wind blow
watch the sunrise
running the shadows"

lol bet you cant guess this one

[CarlMetro]

Elvis - A Little Less Converstation was not actually released as a single in the UK charts untuil it went to No1 a couple of years ago.

The Beatles - Please Please Me to my knowledge has only every had one chart entry, in 1963.

[jim mcglinchey]

"Wellll.. lookabell, lookabell, lookabell, lookabell oooohh weeeeee...." was it Jackie Wilsons Reet Petite?

[Urabus]

Knocking on heavens door- Guns ´n´ Roses

[CarlMetro]

'Twas indeed, 29 years and 42 days in between it's first entry onto the charts and making it to No1, and even then only because of a certain jeans company.

Your Q Jim :up:
