Thank God it's Friday Night Record Cover Quiz

Right, you've watched the old shows, you've sucked the old sweets. Now it's time to play the old records. Well, name the LP records actually: artist and album name. One guess per Swordie please. Let's rock!

  5. Oh, and No.5 is by Leo Sayer ... but I have no idea what the album is.

  6. Do I get half a point for that?

  10. I guess like Scott Pilgrim and his emails, you skimmed it. (giggles) ... I do that a lot.

  11. Nice one guys and gals, between you you got them all right! I'm impressed! The Leo Sayer LP was Silverbird - a beautiful record. Get ready for more fun in part 2.

  12. (wonders what's going to be in part two) ... I better get the dishes washed then. Wait for me, OK?

  13. Yeah I've got to learn to stop doing that myself. Skimming can be most unbecoming. All I was thinking was Hey I know most of these albums!

    ReplyDelete
  14. "Me and Suzie had so much fun, holding hands and skimming stones!" - name the song and artist! I just can't stop quizzing Warren!

  16. You beat me to it toad families. Here's an easy one. "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun". Bonus bragging points to whom they are singing about.

  17. The Floyd's fabulous Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The song is about Syd Barret, former band member.

  18. "Toad families"? (looks around, puzzled) I got a family now?

    ReplyDelete
  19. A family of toads, as a collective noun, could be one of the following: a Knot of Toads, a Lump of Toads, a Nest of Toads or a Knob of Toads.

    Then again, "Philotoadia" might suggest the phylum of toads or the toad family of amphibians but if I've understood it correctly, "philo" means friend or love. But older readers will know that our friend Philotoadia's name is short for Philosophic Toad. Is that right Toad?

    Can't find a collective noun for Woodsies.

  20. (nods) Quite right, Woodsy. Philosophic Toad, codename for Phillipa Todd of the SpaceX Training Academy (European Branch).

    Yeah, ok, so I'm sad. I'm the first to admit it.

  21. I thought phile meant love. Anyway I was referring to phylum. That was the first thing that popped in my head when I read your moniker.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Just checked. Yep my mistake (I seem to make a lot of those, oh well). I thought philo was short for family.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hey, no worries Warren. What's playing on your record player tonight then?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh I don't know. I was thinking of listening to Shostakovich's 11th symphony. In my mind it is one of the best symphonies written in the 20th century. I love that 3rd movement particularly.
