I’ve been waiting so long!

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!

Verbalize the Positive
I had to add a ‘y’ when using google translate – otherwise the band name translated back from Arabic to English as ‘generous,’ which I may like even better than the original band name!

500!
Exemplary work Jordan! On a related note to the 500 clue, Have you reviewed either of the Purple Rain or Graffiti Bridge films yet?
Alas, I have not. Both are definitely on the infinite to-review list, however.
500. That’s one of my favorite Prince songs.
A fine choice, a fine tune by Prince, and a fine score by Danica!
500, it’s one of the few Prince songs I know
And knowing it paid off nicely today, well done Neil!
Oh dear. 300 this time.
I’m pleased you got it on the Beatle clue J – even if you’re not a fan of theirs, you still know your stuff!
I was pretty impressed I retained that wee nugget of information. Who knew it would have came in useful!
500. Not enough for me to get on top.
Nicely played.
‘Don’t you stop’ with the fine Prince wordplay Aphoristical!
500. But I created loads of great fantasy band names before I got to the right Prince song.
I’d definitely want to go see a band named diamonds & pearls!
I think they’re currently touring in support of The Raspberry Berets.
400. Apparently I am not up on my Prince discography…
But you’re up to date on your Canadian Cult Comedy at least!
yep, I certainly am!
300 for me and I’m calling shenanigans on the second question! Making it easier for the Canadians! Tut.
Those pesky Canadians!
Speaking of shenanigans, it’s no Canadian Cult Comedy, but it’s a good scene too:
That first clue is a beaut, Geoff. Nicely done. Extra nicely done as I got it at #1.
I’ve posted twice on this album, the ‘redux’ version being part of the current occasional anniversary series.
My thanks Bruce – and well done!
I’ll have to re-read the re-dux review later this week!
400. And I never made that connection before.
For some reason, I can’t hear that song without thinking of that movie!
And now I can’t either.
400! Brilliant clue!
My thanks Mike, nice to see Kitchener make a cameo in that film!
My absolute favourite part!
400…..back in the points! Do not know my Prince stuff…..thought it might have been Raspberry Beret…haha…but a no go…..
Nice work Deke – and way to go Rangers last night!!
hahaha..yeah it was a tight physical series…Rangers though its like they let Montreal pound them in the early going and by the second period the Rangers would come out of there stupor and pick it up. It was still a close series as both goalies were brilliant!…
By the way the Pens just steamrolled Columbus…..poor bastards could score on Pitt they just couldn’t stop the Pitt Juguarnaut….
I always find the first two rounds of the playoffs brilliant ….
Lundqvist is definitely back in top form – or as they said in the Lion King, The King has returned!
300.
Well done Amrita!
300 (again!).
You’re consistent!
500, but only because I just got done reading that book about Prince! No pee test required, Deke! 🙂
No performance enhancing substance testing required, nice work Aaron!
Thanks Geoff. If I hadn’t got that, the 400 point clue was a dead cert. Yah, eh. Yah.
200…oh well. At least it is points.
200 of ’em!
400. I don’t know my Prince well enough.
But you know Bob & Doug McKenzie so all is well!
300
Nice Ovidiu!
400 for me as well.
Well done Jay!
500! It’s been a while.
Well played!
500 for me!
Solid!
400 for me!
Well played!
300 for Bob and Doug. And 100 for their dog 400 total
Take off eh – nicely done!
