“Ain’t No Thang But a Chicken Wang!”
.
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!

300. I’m assuming there’ll be a few low marks this week.
Lots of 300s, for sure!
Quite a few moderate marks…
100 please.
On the board, Harrison!
Wow 300 and well I never
Good work on the band member names, Neil!
All because I watched a documentary the other day
It paid off!
The kerfuffle with Bush was a moment, recorded for posterity even if they fade.
Though they are not at all my disposable cup of tea, I was taken to a Melbourne concert by an ex-brother-in-law. The reason I succumbed was the support act: The Thorns (feat. Matthew Sweet), however the whole concert was very enjoyable. Just goes to show, eh?
Agreed – they’re definitely performers, the lead singer especially!
300 for me this week.
Not too shabby, J!
200
Good work on the __ + ___ = _____ clue!
A low-grade 200. All out of cluck this week.
I have a feeling you’ll be back to a Grade A quality / eggscellent score next week, TVTA!
Not one to count my chickens before they’re hatched, but hope you’re right my friend 🙂
500. Yee haw! Wouldn’t have got it on the place/year but I remember that documentary coming out.
Yaa Hoo, HMO!
400 for me please. I’m a big fan of their courage.
As am I!
300 for me. And I like them, so I’m surprised I couldn’t get it off the first 2 clues.
Not to worry, John – 3rd clue’s the charm!
500. Fantastic band. Great movie. Great choice for a quiz!
Agreed about a) and b) and my thanks for c), Mike!
You’re welcome sir!
300. It wasn’t any one of the clues but a combination of the three. I remembered the name of the doc but it took the other two clues to remind me who it was about. Have never seen the film or them perform like, and really, have never listened to their tunes. Theirs is an interesting story nonetheless.
The doc was quite good – it definitely turned me into a fan!
I’ll take a 300 for today.
Good job, D!
500!
Nice work, Sarca!
500! 200 points was my favourite clue this week.
My thanks, Kevin – and well done!
500 watched this doc a few years ago with the Boss(Sue). Chuck Klosterman in his Sex Drugs and Coca Puffs book described this act as the female VH and as corny as it sounds it made perfect sense!
Klosterman? VH comparisons? Perfect score?! Talk about many of my favourite things, Deke!
right in the mix in the standing Geoff! I’m getting nervous every Sunday morning when I open Reader and see your Sunday Quiz haha
Your streak continues, Deke!
Hope you & Sue are having a nice anniversary too!
Thanks Geoff. We are enjoying the day. My parents stopped by and tomorrow its my Dads 80th so we are doing the party at the house here. Drop by if your in the neighborhood!
Happy 80th to your dad too – and Family Day, not a bad weekend for things to celebrate!
That is true.
300 on this one.
Good work, Ovidiu!
200😔
Not to worry, Amrita – you’re not alone there this week!
I mainly remember them for what they did in the Bush years. Especially, for a country music act.
500 each for me and Mika.
Excellent work, Mika & James!
500. I loved that movie.
Nicely done, Zack – and as did I!
A lady I worked with at the bank is probably their biggest fan. 500.
The Bank lady has good taste – they put on a great show!
I’ll bet! Yeah, she’s a long distance runner, like, entering the Boston Marathon serious, and she listens to them while training.
