poptimistsHere is ROUND 2 of the great Poptimist quiz - again this is designed for my work so some of the qns are a bit easy (actually this really comes into play on the bits and pieces round which is full of Poptimism touchstones).
Remember, no googling. Comments screened, answers probably up this afternoon sometime.
The theme of this round is CHARITY RECORDS.
1. Which was the first ever Comic Relief single?
2. Complete this lyric: "And the Christmas bells that ring there…"
3. The Crowd's "You'll Never Walk Alone" was released to raise money for the victims of which tragedy?
4. The best-selling UK single ever is "Candle In The Wind '97", the proceeds of which went to the Princess Diana Memorial fund. How many copies did it sell in this country?
A: 2.8m
B: 4.8m
C: 6.8m
D: 8.8m
5. Which US celebrity has written a song "From the Bottom of my Heart" for the victims of Hurricane Katrina?
6. Which current band recorded a version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" for last month's War Child charity album?
7. The following comedians have had hits for Comic Relief - which is the odd one out?
A: Rowan Atkinson
B: Hale and Pace
C: Mel Smith
D: Peter Kay
8. The first ever charity record is thought to be the Concert for Bangla Desh album from 1971. Which rock star organised this event?
9. "Love Can Build A Bridge" got to No.1 in 1995, yet another Comic Relief effort. Who were its three lead singers? Half point if you get two.
10. Which band released the album Pictures Of Starving Children Sell Records in 1985 as a protest against Band Aid and Live Aid?

Date: 2005-10-04 10:16 am (UTC)2. Um I'm not sure what they actually say! It sounds like "In the Chinese Eye Of Doom" but that can't be right. Thank god it's them instead of me! The embarrassing thing is that I actually sang this song for Kooba Radio's Xmas single last year, but not that bit. I did "Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor river flows".
3. Hillsborough?
4. C, at a guess.
5. Urgh isn't it Michael Jackson?
6. Pass. Bloc Party?
7. Peter Kay cos he didn't actually sing on it!
8. Blimey. I have no idea. It probably wasn't Bowie as he was doing lots of coke then, and it probably wasn't Bolan as he wasn't super-famous then. John Lennon's not really a rawk star is he? So I shall say: Mick Jagger.
9. OK I KNO this one cos it was on Now 30. Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry and um Cher? And Eric Clapton did twiddly guitar.
10. Dunno. I could look up on the werk database but that would be cheating. Well I am going to get this wrong anyway so I might as well look... OH DEAR LORD has the world really been subjected to them for that long?
