For our non-American members I explained what the Jeopardy show is. You are given the answer and you have to ask the question.


So here's my first answer.....Mosrite guitars

Which firm of guitar makers did The Ventures make famous?

An alternative question would be:

Name a music-related string with 555 hits on Google...

Hmmmm, that was way too easy for you I thought Roger or Max would go for it as both have mentioned the Ventures in their posts, I think ?? Okay I will find something that will take a bit longer to fathom

I do solemnly pledge not to resort to Google at any further time during this quiz. Signed JK.
OK folks, I've upped my pledge - up yours!

O.K... let me try one:

This song is the connection between trumpeter Herb Alpert, Three Dog Night, and Brian-produced girl singer Sharon Marie's record "Thinkin' Bout You Baby."

I'll take a guess and say Wild Honey Excuse me Alex, What is Wild Honey ????

BZZZZZZZZZZZ! WRONG!

I've forbidden myself to Google on this thread (I must be really losing the plot!), so I've no idea what the Herb Alpert connection is (I won't hazard a guess), but "TBYB" later became "Darlin'" which was first recorded by Redwood (Hutton et al., later Three Dog Night) as produced by Brian but never released, largely thanks to the other BBs.
So my stab at the question to the answer is "What is 'Darlin''?"... [long live the edit button]

NOT IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION!!!

The correct response would be "What is 'Darlin''?"

You had it right, though... and the Herb Alpert connection: Alpert and the TJB also recorded a cover of "Darlin'."

So what that means John , in the commercial Alex chooses if you answered in the form of a question and you might get the money or not. I would have money taken from me as I answered the album it was on and not the correct song

A rare song title used by both Brian Wilson and the Beatles.......?????
remember to frame your answer in the form of a question

This must be one for Viper or BM, don't you think?
On the other hand, if nobody else gets the question soon, I shall feeled compelled to Google it, won't I?
(Just getting in a bit of practice, okay?)

This is a tough one, even with Steve Jobs doing his bit.
After literally hours of scouring the internet (including Mr Doe's great site) and the relevant literature (some of it given over to Beatlish things) I fear I am none the wiser.

I'm surprised Viper doesn't know...

Hey... don't look at ME...

Hang on a moment...
Since when was grovelling to the moderators a crime?
Well, what is the answer-framed-in-the-form-of-a-question then?

The answer is , what is Revolution/Beatles and with Brian as producer The Revo-lution/,Rachel and the Revolvers... It's a trick question as Brian's track was called The Revo-lution....a 60's dance name and quite a different viewpoint than the Lennon song

No wonder it didn't register. I certainly saw "The Revo-Lution" and "Revolution" enough times during my explorations but didn't make the connection. And now I seem to have insulted BM. Well, that's life I suppose.

This is my (non-trick) question-framed-in-the-form-of-an-answer:

"Don't think you're God - vibrations... let's go for the record"

And I didn't Google it...

I don't think BM was upset John. I didn't read that in the posts. I also put that question in as it was one even if one knew it , it takes a second or two to match the answer's. Now your question sounds like me after deleting 42 spams

This is by way of a diversion only. The answer is:
"The one with the open neck shirt."

Better wig and a new wife, what could the godling want more ?? Except OJ's Jury ?????

Insulted? Certainly not...

There's no need to shout.

Seriously, though, that was one remark I should have used the edit button on. It was meant flippantly but it came out different...

When I read the first post, the Mosrite guitar reference, I hestitated to reply because my mind was flooded with a dozen or so seemingly appropriate questions, none of which had anything to do with the Ventures though.

This topic is a great idea Mark. Open to lots of interpretation and a jolly good bit of fun!!!

Summer Days and Summer Nights and Friends album covers. ??????

Interesting question Mark but aren't we jumping the gun here? Or is "Don't think you're God - vibrations... let's go for the record" too silly for this quiz?

I thought Phil Spector was the question so I guess I did jump the gun.. I bow to your forgiveness and whine again since I don't know the answer

The answer (in question form) would be something along the lines of:

What are some of them saying during the talking passage in the Smiley Smile version of "Wonderful"?

OK, I'll work on your question now, although it's a madhouse here at present which is why I haven't answered other things.

As H G Welles Time Traveler once said , I have all the time in the world......One of my favorite old movies, Weena was a cute Eloi , sounds like a ramones song ????

The answer is Summer Days and Summer Nights and of course the painted Friends...its NOT a trick question to placate my friend from Holland, its rather an observation.
No jumping the Peter Gunn so Phils out of this observation....If it's too outre I'll answer as long as you ask, until then Look and Observe

How about this answer ?? The James Bond Theme Octopussy ????

I have a question (googled I'm afraid) but I'll wait a few hours before posting it.
I'm off on a brief holiday from tomorrow morning until Friday. I hope the spammers are too.

How about: Name a James Bond film whose title does not occur in the theme song.

Thata right, the theme song was an All Time High

The question was whats the two albums with the least amount of Beach Boys on it and the most amount of Beach Boys on it....Check it out if you doubt me

Except technically that's wrong... the answer would be HOLLAND for most (seven) and that NASCAR album for least (three).

No wonder I couldn't figure that one out!

OK... let me try one here:

"This is the first Beach Boys album cover on which Brian appears wearing glasses."

No googling from the studio audience, please.

The glasses question would be what new fashion event is seen on Stack of Track's ?
I'm going to count Friends as it's got much more than 7 BB's pictures/drawings on the cover..I forgot about Nascar Congratulations BM

I count 18 Beach Boys pictures on friends. But I understand you took it as how many in the band right ????I never get over the carl picture/drawing that looks like a baby Macca

The answer would be , probably the first use of Hippies on a 45 in the 60's ????

I googled it, as I would never have known otherwise. The only member of this "studio audience" who might know it without resorting to underhand tactics is Millerkale...

We're talking 1963, right, Mark?!

Yes 1963 is the right year... I don't know EA and BM might know it .. give the boys a chance. Possibly Miller kale would know it as he was there moving his feet in his Cashmire sweater, slight clue
now how did you google that as I googled it to make sure no one could ????????? Its not a hard question but your right you have to get the YEAR

Sorry, boys, no offence meant (and of course none taken ). I was merely thinking about who was actively into pop in those years. Steve is another candidate of course.
Social blunders my speciality. Appy polly loggies to one and all.

How did I google it? Well as you know I'm no slouch in that department...
Assuming I'm right, I'll spill the beans later... as you say, give the boys a chance.

It seems no one is biting, would you care to answer the question with an answer

Yeesh... this thread is 3/4s apologies...

And most of them are mine (sorry about that)...

And now back to business:

The answer/question/whatever might well be:

"What is unique about The Orlons' 1963 US hit 'South Street'?"

How I got there? I googled the following string:

"the word hippies" lyrics

and there it was about six hits down.

Sorry for taking so long...

On the subject of apologizing, here's a fairly easy answer for you to question:

"Brenda Lee's 'I'm Sorry', The Contours' 'Do You Love Me?' and Sly's 'Dance To The Music'"

Well????

The question follows tomorrow...

All I can say is, I'm never gonna make it to the Tournament of Champions...

Clue: it has nothing to do with Paris Hilton.

Well she has got good "contours"

What are three oldies that I'm sick and tired of hearing on the radio station playing at the laundromat?
