QOD Sunday 12-16 "IT'S TREKKIE DAY!!1"
Or is it Trekker? I can’t remember the politically correct term.
Are you like me? If you’re flipping channels and come across William Shatner counting down the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders are you compelled to sit down and watch, no matter where you came in or how many times you’ve seen it before? No? You’re not like me? Well, you’re going to be at a disadvantage then, aren’t you?
I don’t want to hear about what constitutes a OHW, or how some group actually had another song that hit #93 on the Hip Hot Hits of Bangladesh chart. These are all directly from the show so, if you’re got a beef, take it up with Shatner. Ha!
Okay, I’ll give you the artist, you give me the song (I read this over 6 times to make sure I wrote it out correctly).
1. Starland Vocal Band
2. Musical Youth
3. Falco
4. Brownsville Station
5. Norman Greenbaum
QOD: Jimi Hendrix, a One Hit Wonder? He only made the (U.S) Top 40 once, and it was a cover at that. What was the song?
5 Point Bonus: Who wrote and originally recorded it?
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Sadly, I could not use my man Tone-Loc here, because he had TWO hits! They were both co-written by this man, a OHW himself (so he did better for Tone than he did for himself. Ha!)

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

You read it 6 times to make sure you wrote it right...I read it 6 times to make sure I didn't $&#( up and answer what you weren't asking again.
1. Subject of one of my favorite "Arrested Development" episodes (not that that's saying much...almost ALL of them are "one of my favorites!). "Afternoon Delight"
2. "Pass the Dutchie" (yecch)
3. "Rock Me Amadeus"
4. "Smokin' in the Boy's Room" (I actually prefer Crue's version)
5. "Spirit in the Sky" (I could never get over the fact that a guy named Greenbaum would sing a line about "I've got a friend in Jesus")
QOD: Taking a big chance here, since it COULD be "Hey Joe", but I don't think so. Gotta be "All Along the Watchtower," only because of the Bonus question (I have no idea who originally did "Hey Joe," I only know it was a cover)
Bonus: Bob "Wow, Cate Blanchett Could Win an Oscar for Playing Me" Dylan
Bonus Bonus: He may be "your man," but he ain't mine. I do know the songs, though, but that's not worth bupkis.

No, I'm pretty much never compelled to watch Shatner doing anything. I will tolerate him on Boston Legal but breathe a sigh of relief whenever the scene switches away from him.

I know, way too much information, but when you know as little as I do about most things, it's important to trumpet what actually is in my brain!

And since none of these questions are actually about Star Trek, I will claim false advertising and search for the Airing of Grievances thread.

QOD: Jimi Hendrix, a One Hit Wonder? He only made the (U.S) Top 40 once, and it was a cover at that. What was the song?
I think it was "All Along the Watchtower"
5 Point Bonus: Who wrote and originally recorded it?
Bob Zimmerman (otherwise known as Bob Dylan)
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Sadly, I could not use my man Tone-Loc here, because he had TWO hits! They were both co-written by this man, a OHW himself (so he did better for Tone than he did for himself. Ha!)
Young MC (whose only hit was "Bust a Move")
"Afternoon Delight"... but personally, I think that "California Day" and "Starting All Over Again" were much better songs.
2. Musical Youth
"Pass the Dutchie"... and no, it wasn't about weed.
3. Falco
"Rock Me, Amadeus"

Are you like me? If you’re flipping channels and come across William Shatner counting down the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders are you compelled to sit down and watch, no matter where you came in or how many times you’ve seen it before? No? You’re not like me? Well, you’re going to be at a disadvantage then, aren’t you?
I don’t want to hear about what constitutes a OHW, or how some group actually had another song that hit #93 on the Hip Hot Hits of Bangladesh chart. These are all directly from the show so, if you’re got a beef, take it up with Shatner. Ha!
Okay, I’ll give you the artist, you give me the song (I read this over 6 times to make sure I wrote it out correctly).

I hadn't dropped out of the QoD... I just ran into a string of questions I could only answer 1 or fewer parts of. Now we're more in my wheelhouse again....

1. Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight (I really like this song. I know that puts me in the minority....)
2. Musical Youth - Pass the Dutchie (Or however that's spelled. This title was corrupted around here to the Busch Stadium chant "So Taguchi down the left field line")
3. Falco - Rock Me Amadeus (If he'd have done a better version of "Der Kommissar" like After the Fire did, he might have had another hit...)
4. Brownsville Station - Smokin' in the Boys Room (This one just never sounded right since I didn't hear it until the 90's, and I already had Motley Crue's version in my head. The video for that latter version has to be one of the all time greatest....)
5. Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky
Why couldn't we have had a longer list, like maybe 100, so I could rack up more points?
