Huzzah!

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!

Thanks for playing!

Verbalize the Positive
In high school/university, Rivers Cuomo would have been my favourite lead singer/lead guitarist.
More recently, Chuck Klosterman would likely be my current favourite author.
What do these favourites of mine have in common? Both sing &/or say that this week’s artist is their favourite band!

500. I think there’ll be some high scores this week – lots of fans in the blogosphere.
Lots of fans of both the artist & the self-titled weezer debut!
500
Nice work!
500. I’m moving up that board!
You’re on a roll, Zack!
500
Nicely done!
A Hot 500 in the shade please
you Sure Know Something about this group, Steve!
I’m 500… you’re sixteen.
And your score does not Shock Me today, HMO!
500… thanks to Weezer.
We have much to be thankful for from those first 2 =w= albums!
500 for me!! I would have to quit playing if I missed this one!!
Something would have gone wrong with the clues if you’d missed it, nice work John!
Yes, I would have had to quit blogging!!
Chalk up another 500 for those dressed to kill.
A score that ought not to be kept quiet, shout it out loud, Bruce!
….I got Peter Criss waiting for me,yes I do! In My Garage! Great fuzz solo on that track! ROCK!
500 Bottle’s of Cold Gin Please!
Some will recognize the guitarist – some will recognize the weezer, I’m delighted you know both quite well Deke!
500. Not a big fan but I’ve known them most of my life. Incidentally, they played a show down the street at Canadian Tire Centre recently and apparently, it was a great show.
That’s what I’ve heard too!
500!
Nicely done, Milo!
Another deuce this week. 200 please.
Good work D!
400. I don’t think many people will score less than that!
I’m guessing most will remember the song rather than the role models scene!
🙂
Sorry I’ve missed so many quizzes by the way! I have many projects on the go and just cannot keep up and I’m sorry! Glad I didn’t miss this one of course.
No worries Mike – given the artist, I likely should have just recorded a 500 for you today before waiting for a message anyways!
500 each for me and Mika. And because I apparently forgot to say it last week, 500 for each of us on that one too.
Nice work x 2 x 2!
500.
Well done, Joe!
Thanks Geoff.
PS. I don’t think they’re very good. Shhh!
500! (Thanks to Dazed and Confused and the number of inside jokes I have with a friend about this band…)
We have much to be thankful for with Dazed & Confused!
500, thanks to LeBrain’s site
500 joy! Cheers Stephen 🙂
Easy 500 this week!
500!
Mike would disown me if I didn’t get 500 here. 😉
No disowning required!
