Connections

Here's a little trivia game.

What's the connection between Roobarb and the Beatles?

Once it's been answered correctly anyone can set the next connections question.

Only rule is it should have some music relevance to avoid going completely of on a tangent.

[Vectis]

That would be Bob Godfrey then :)

He did the animated Beatles series as well as Roobarb.

[Megamix]

Bob Godfrey animated Roobarb and advised on Yellow Submarine too

[funkymook]

Correct - and he was also an advisor on Yellow Submarine.

[Vectis]

Correct - and he was also an advisor on Yellow Submarine.

Yay!

OK - what is the musical connection between the Essar Oil refinery near Ellesmere Port and the number six million three hundred and twenty three thousand and three?

[Megamix]

OMD?

[Vectis]

OMD?

Elaborate? ;)

[Megamix]

Phone number in the song....

[Vectis]

Phone number in the song....

Halfway correct...

... and the other half of the conundrum?

[Marc J]

... and the other half of the conundrum?

Essar Oil refinery near Ellesmere Port was previously Stanlow Refinery. OMD's Organisation album includes a track about it - "Stanlow".

[Vectis]

Kerching :)

Not sure who to award it to though :o ... probably Marc as Megamix didn't name the song in question - "Red frame, white light"

[Marc J]

Kerching :)

Not sure who to award it to though :o

Since I'm already here I'll take it with an easy one....

One word linking Michael Jackson and Biffy Clyro....?

[Excalibur]

:Censored: ?

[Marc J]

:Censored: ?

I don't know what you said....but pretty sure it's wrong :D

[Corabar Steve]

Bubbles?

[Marc J]

Bubbles?

Of course :)

[Excalibur]

Of course :)

Oh goody. Now we get one of Steve's easy questions. :confused: :confused: :( :(

[Corabar Steve]

The connection between "Two hearts beat as one" & "Rock Lobster"?

[Vectis]

Well there's an urban myth that lobsters have two hearts, but it's not true, so it couldn't be that...
:confused:

[Excalibur]

A young lady from the B-52's? Michael Stipe? R.E.M?

[Corabar Steve]

Nope, further clue / connection: Motorhead song.

[Excalibur]

Nope, further clue / connection: Motorhead song.

Ah. ;) That's two and three linked, but I've got no idea about track one. ( And there's even no certainty that I've got the right track one. There's a choice of two )

[Kernow]

Nope, further clue / connection: Motorhead song.

Enola Gay was the B-52 "Bomber" which like "Two Hearts Beat As One" was first released in Japan ?;)
The latter was a little less devestating, but still part of U2's War Tour :eek:

[Corabar Steve]

So very close it's untrue, but not spot on

[Corabar Steve]

I suppose it's close enough. "Two hearts beat as one" was recorded by U2, "Rock lobster" was recorded by the B52s.

Both songs were recorded by bands named after bombers.


Kernow's turn

[DJ Paulie]

I suppose it's close enough. "Two hearts beat as one" was recorded by U2, "Rock lobster" was recorded by the B52s.

Both songs were recorded by bands named after bombers.


Kernow's turn

Not stricktly true, the U2 is actually a high-altitude reconnaissance plane. So it's my turn !

[Corabar Steve]

Actually it's been used as both, but if you want to get technical, both artists were named after aircraft.

Kernow's turn.

[DJ Paulie]

Ok off you go kernow

[Corabar Entertainment]

Here's a little trivia game.

:whistle: :D :D

[funkymook]

Indeed - anyone can post a new one now.

(doesn't put people off having a go at the answer if they don't have a question ready in case they're right).

[Excalibur]

Actually it's been used as both, but if you want to get technical, both artists were named after aircraft.

Kernow's turn.

Maybe, but the plane was designated U-2, not U2. :p :D :D :D :D :D

[DJ Paulie]

Ok so my original one was the connection between Queen (the band) & honey (the sweet sticky stuff !)

[Kernow]

Ok so my original one was the connection between Queen (the band) & honey (the sweet sticky stuff !)

Bees ;)

Anyway it's my turn, and a nice easy one :D

What's the connection between "November Rain" & "Bird Dog" ?

[Excalibur]

Ok so my original one was the connection between Queen (the band) & honey (the sweet sticky stuff !)


Bees ;)
You see, I discounted that, because I thought it was too obvious.



Anyway it's my turn, and a nice easy one :D

What's the connection between "November Rain" & "Bird Dog" ?
No idea. :o :o :o

[Kernow]

No idea. :o :o :o

You can almost hear the googling :eek: :D

[DJ Paulie]

Bees ;)



correct, but not the reason you thought of I'd guess ! Roger Taylor used to wear a stripey jumper or t shirt and earned the nickname 'bumblebee' !

[Kernow]

correct, but not the reason you thought of I'd guess ! Roger Taylor used to wear a stripey jumper or t shirt and earned the nickname 'bumblebee' !

Local knowledge ;) It's Cornwall rugby colours, black & gold stripes !

Roger Taylor lives just down the road from me ;) on the opposite bank of the Helford River to Pete Townshend and a few doors down from Sir Tim Rice. :D

Anyway answers to my 'connection' please :)


What's the connection between "November Rain" & "Bird Dog" ?

[DJ Paulie]

LOL @Kernow, I guessed that was the reason for your nick ! but no idea on your connection !

[Excalibur]

No idea. :o :o :o


You can almost hear the googling :eek: :D

Sir!!! I regard that as defamation of character, and demand that you retract it immediately. To even suggest that I would stoop so low is quite frankly disgraceful.














The search engne on the laptop is Bing, whatever that is? :confused: :D :D :D :D :D :D

[DJ Paulie]

:offtopic: but have you noticed how technology has become totally integrated into society ? years ago we said 'go to the library' or 'look in the dictionary/encyclopedia' now it's google it ! lol

But I have no idea of the connection either :shrug:

BTW Excaliber, it's rubbish that's what it is - according to Google anyway ! lol

[Marc J]

You can almost hear the googling :eek: :D


What's the connection between "November Rain" & "Bird Dog" ?

According to Google (http://www.google.co.uk/#q=%2B%22November+Rain%22+%2B%22Bird+Dog%22), this thread!

[Kernow]

According to Google (http://www.google.co.uk/#q=%2B%22November+Rain%22+%2B%22Bird+Dog%22), this thread!

My turn? :D

Nope, but a good try ;)
There is a much stronger connection :p

[Corabar Steve]

They are both 2 word titles.

[Kernow]

They are both 2 word titles.
Nope ;)

I'm out tonight and not back till 9am, so, in the interests of continuity, I'll give the answer at 14.00 unless a correct one in the meantime.
But keep the guesses coming :D

[funkymook]

Axl was married to Don Everly's (of the Everly Brothers - Bird Dog) daughter Erin - and their breakup inspired November Rain.

She was also the inspiration for the lyrics wriitten to accompany Slash's finger-warmup exercise on their 'minor' hit "Sweet Child o' Mine" ;)

"The House of Singing Bamboo" was first performed by Howard Keel in 1950 in the Musical "Pagan Love Song". He later went on to star as Jock Ewing in Dallas, alongside the character Pam, played by Elvis's (singer of "Jailhouse Rock"), former wife Priscilla.

Steves turn ;)

Steve's turn ;)

According to the rules, pointed out by Angela, and subsequently Martin, it's anybody's turn, but who cares?

:o Sincerest apologies, you are of course correct.:beer1:
(But it was a long time ago ;) )

[Kernow]

Sting & PJ & Duncan ?

They have police records ? :eek:

[DJ Paulie]

Both have pseudonyms ! But also are both Geordies, & come from rough areas of newcastle.

[STEVE HANLEY]

They're geordies?

Unfortunately :D :D

[DJ Paulie]

I lived in Hazelrigg near Newcastle Airport for a while and went into a lot of charity shops, nearly all of them had copies of the PJ & Duncan CDs !

[STEVE HANLEY]
