Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, 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. Period. That’s it, that’s all!
rolllin’ down the street with 500 points!
That’s right. Have you watched his show with Martha? It’s pretty surreal.
I haven’t seen it yet – I heard it being discussed on Q at one point, the critics were saying they had surprisingly good chemistry!
200. Wasn’t his second name another word for leo at some point?
I believe it was at one point!
500 but very lucky guess….
Well guessed!
500, but it was close. I didn’t realize he was a Jr.
Well done Zack!
500 each for Mika and I. Trivia: his cousin is WWE wrestler Sasha Banks, and his former bodyguard also wrestled under the name Brodus Clay – guess where they took the first name from?
Nice work James & MIka – and nice bonus trivia too!
Ever since I read that Reg Dwight was the starting place for our Elt, I’ve had a thing about real names. Today that alone netted me the 500.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Sir Reginald Kenneth ends up as a question one of these days!
200 today.
Nice work D!
200 points. Never listened though I heard the artist’s debut LP is excellent.
It’s on the 1001 list – and I quite liked it!
400. The dinner party clue was hilarious. I can’t shake the image of him worrying that his souffle will collapse.
Compared to the worries he had in the early 90s when on trial, the times have changed!
400. More of a result for my film knowledge than anything to do with music today!
Early 2000s comedy film knowledge comes in handy from time to time around here HMO!
500. I’m kind of a fan. I’ve even reviewed him!
Well played LeBrain!
400 as Old SCHOOL is one of my fav’s …
As well I’m Old School..Just SAYIN!
A good week to be Old School Deke!
400
Nice!
400 for me although I first went to the original TV show for Starsky & Hutch until I realized you meant the movie remake.
And I haven’t seen either a show or the new movie in its entirety – but I gather he was quite funny as Huggy Bear!
He did do a great Huggy Bear. The part fit him like a glove.
400. I may have forgotten about Dre from time to time but not this guy
He’s a tough one to forget!
400! Good thing I watch silly movies.
Some of my favourite movies are silly ones!
500!
Stellar work Sarca!
400 no real reason. It’s just where I fell.
A good place to fall!
It’s the bow to the wow, 5-hizzle this time round!
You’ve got your mind on 500 points & 500 points on your mind!
300, I’ve always found that turn of events rather hilarious…
As have I – if you’d somehow put money on it in 1993, the odds would have been ridiculous!
it’s 500 for me [in a cloud of smoke]
Solid – I did the spreadsheet yesterday so not to worry, your points will appear next week!
Haha I’m not worried! But I approve of spreadsheets, oh yes.
