Participation Points are well and truly being missed ! I know some of you only have a go at the Questions you know or are comfortable with and that's fine. We only have 3 Questions left before we call this Competition a day - it's getting to the busy season so we'll go into "recess" with the Quiz.

The 3 remaining Questions are all woth 8 Points each now, so theoretically, daslied could tie with edna if he got all 3 correct AND she participated in all 3; shawna, laurie and edna can all still win outright. Good Luck !

alrighty... useful for Christmas tells me it might be about...

"I'm A Believer" ~ Monkees

"My Wish Came True" ~ Elvis

"December 1963" or "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" ~ Four Seasons

You gotta believe!!

I neglected to say that this is my guess for Q2. Anywhere close?

For Q5 I'm gonna guess "Gimme"

Spencer Davis Group: Gimme Some Lovin'

Olivia Newton John: (cover of) Gimme Some Lovin'

Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter

Pointer Sisters: (I can't find this one!!) grrrr

Oh hell, Joe beat me to it by mere MINUTES.

Q1. XTC?

:coolio: CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN KATIE ! XTC IT BE. :coolio:

Their Big Hit in Australia and Europe was "Senses Working Overtime" in 1982.

I gave a couple of clues on this. I referred to it as "the initial Question" in one of my posts, and also suggested going through the alphabet wasn't a bad idea, after Laurie was up to R or S.

QUESTION 5. CLOSED.

These Artists also have songs with a common theme.

3 were Charted Hits and 1 a well known album track.* (It was a Hit single here in Australia).

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN / Physical

POINTER SISTERS / Jump

ROLLING STONES / Walking The Dog*

SPENCER DAVIS GROUP / Keep On Running

The Theme was EXERCISE.

UncleJoe was closest with "Jumping" - he said it first - so 2 Points to him for an Honorable Mention + Participation Points to others.

..................................................

Speaking of Participation Points, they've again been instumental in the result. Edna was 1 Point ahead of Laurie overnight, but Edna forgot to participate in Q2 while Laurie participated in all three. That makes the result A DRAW, which is probably fitting, as they have been the outstanding players in this particular Quiz.
