Ready for Quiz #5?
Talk about a rhetorical question!
Quiz Rules/Format
(feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)
Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.
Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.
After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.
Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.
I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.
In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.
In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.
Here goes!

500. BAM!
Bam indeed!
500 for me. His mum lives/lived in the next road to ours here.
I can only assume that story can be labelled as “True!”
It is actually. Elvis opened the door once when my friends went around carol singing, many years ago.
Well, you would change your name, wouldn’t you?
500 for me too.
I suppose – though the McManus has a certain presence to it, nicely done Bruce!
I would not have. I’d love to have a less generic name!
Just 300 for me.
That’s a fine score in my books HMO!
300 for me. Sadly, the Austin Powers reference made it easy for me.
It’s my favourite scene from the movie!
Mine too. Followed by trying to make a three-point turn in a narrow hallway.
I always think of that scene when I’m attempting a 3 point turn!
500! The Brain is BACK!
I knew he would be!
200. The name sounded so familiar yet I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Nice work!
400 baby! 👍
A thumbs-up worthy score if there ever was one!
100
Nice Zack!
💯
Well played W!
500 for the Deker! I knew this by his association with McCartney on the Flowers in The Dirt album! Also years ago a girl i dated was into this artist so of course I asked the question of what is this chaps real name…!
Information that would one day come in handy – nicely done Deke!
300 for me, Geoff! That’s an improvement on last week!
A fine score J!
Not to bad given I’ve just started listening to him.
He’s 6 for 6 of the ones I’ve heard so far!
Six! Wow… that’s a lot!
And that apparently is just a taste of the discography – I gather he was/is really prolific!
I’ll look forward to your views on the albums this week. I only own one, so it’ll be interesting to see if that appears also!
I had it on the tip of my tongue at 200… but didn’t truly get it until the 100 pts question. Elvis!!
That’s OK, still got on the board!
400. Should have got it at 500 😞. Really good clues this week, Geoff. Looking forward to the reviews!
I’m pleased to hear you got it when a Canadian artist was referenced!
Thanks Amrita!
500 and I missed all the other quizzes damn, home town hero of sorts though as he is, maybe I can catch up
Not to worry Neil, still plenty of time to catch up – 500 is a good way to start!
500
Nicely done Danica!
It was a moment of happiness…I have some catching up to do 🙂
I think last week you got a high five – and this week 500 – that’s stellar progress!
My results have been fairly up and down so I’m not sure it’s actual progress… but I like these quizzes. 🙂
Can anyone play or do you all drink in the same pub? 500 in anycase
Anyone can play – though it would be even more fun to play in the same pub!
Nice work on today’s quiz Kid Slender!
Guessed right at 500, confirmed at 200?
That sounds like 500 points to me!
500 points for me as soon as I read the first name. Do I get bonus points for that? 😀
It feels like there ought to be bonus points for such an early correct guess – I’ll have to speak with the Quizmaster!
Boom! 500 points! EC was ‘ere
Well done Geoff!
400 for me! Can-con trivia for the not quite win!
400 for me as well. D
Well done D!
300 points. Better then last week at least
Nice work!
