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. Burnt out on her in my teens but You Oughta Know is pretty good.
Excellent work – and the radio/video play was a bit overwhelming at the time for me too.
Now I quite enjoy it though!
500 for this buck a roo and I’m up past midnight! You look like Elton Geoff playing those Keys with one hand in your pocket! Excellent stuff!
Haha, alas Deke, I don’t quite play like Sir Elton!
500 and well there ya go
Back to perfect, Neil!
400. I oughta have known at 500, but her nationality completely escaped me. Oh well, everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine….
Not to worry, Amrita – you have now Lived & Learned her nationality!
She’s also said “thank u” to mine!
As the first line of the chorus, no less!
400
Nice work, Jimmy!
500. Loved her presence during the 90s. Very cool photo clues there! 🙂
Much appreciated, TVTA – and well played!
500 for me! Jagged was one of my favourites.
Excellent work, J – it was inescapable at the time for me but now that it is somewhat less ubiquitous, I quite like it too!
400 this week.
Nicely done, HMO!
500.
Continuing the strong start to 2020, Zack!
I’ll keep one hand in my pocket and use the other one to give a high five.
better than flicking a cigarette, I suppose!
400 please. Don’t shoot me, but I thought she was American.
We are revoking your Canadian Privileges!
Good job I got my maple syrup supplies in.
You sneaky little bastard!
Not to worry, Joe – I think Dave Navarro, Flea & Taylor Hawkins were all musicians on that album so there were some USA connections!
500 points
Terrific work, Chris!
“All too easy”. I was obsessed with You Can’t Do That On Television. I watched every single episode multiple times. Don’t know why, I just liked it! 500
And all those viewings paid off today, Mike!
I was just reading the wiki for You Can’t Do that On Television. They were talking about the character of Barth and his catchphrase, “Iiiiiiiiiiii heard that!” And that explains why, on one of my childhood cassette tapes, I can be heard going “Iiiiiii heard that!” I was obsessed I tells ya.
I can definitely still picture the slime!
Yep! The trademark slime. Legendary.
400 for me. I didn’t realize she was that old.
Hard to believe that big album’s celebrating its 25th anniversary too!
I’ll take 500 this week.
Outstanding work, D!
500. My wife would’ve shot me if I didn’t get this one on the first clue.
I’m pleased you got the Ottawan in question & will not be shot, JP!
500!
stellar work, Sarca!
I unironically got 500.
I Really Do Think that’s a great score, Kevin!
500 each for me and Mika.
Nicely done, James & Mika!
400!
Well played, Adela!
Oops, almost missed this. 400 please
Just in time, Harrison – I was going to make the spreadsheet this morning!
A pretty inescapable 500. Didn’t know we were born in the same year. Cool.
You’re in good company!
