Guess the new #1 team resides in New Mexico, hope I get a chance to meet them someday..
Okay, of all the potential good Beatles questions to come up with, you knew they’d throw in one stupid, controversial one. By the way, this is actually the third time it has been asked. The first time was in the # round, I went McCartney (thinking Silly Love Songs), and the answer given was Lennon (factoid said Starting Over). Next time it was asked, I went Lennon, and they changed the answer to McCartney (factoid said Ebony and Ivory or Say Say Say, I can’t remember). So, when it came up last night again, I just figured it would be McCartney again, and luckily it was right. I’m like POMAN, I think they said solo in the question. They also asked which song was written by John Lennon, answer given was Hard Day’s Night, but they had two other choices that were credited to Lennon/McCartney. We went with one he sang, but another borderline question. I thought the other 9 questions were decent, I don’t remember seeing all those before, except the final one (Penny Lane about a childhood memory). I was hoping they’d ask what actress’s sister was Prudence in “Dear Prudence “ or something like that (Mia Farrow).
As far as repeats, most of them seem to be in the triviaoke round, they’ve been repeating a lot of those from the old Triviaoke games and other recent Playback games. I think I’ve seen a few No Doubt questions at least five times, I still get gold and diamonds mixed up . There seems to be a lot of new questions as well, I’m not going to complain if we get 35 or so new questions per week. Definite advantage to those of us that play most weeks, the #5 Queen Latifah repeat question came in handy for us a few weeks ago.
Also, did they seriously ask a non-Top 40 Lindsay Lohan question? At least Bieber seems to have faded from their radar
