Trivia Wednesday

I wasn't planning on posting trivia this week, so that's why we're having Trivia Wednesday instead of Trivia Tuesday.

I'm dating myself (again), but do you remember the game show Classic Concentration hosted by Alex Trebek? The end game involved the contestant identifying a phrase or name based on pictured symbols. This week's trivia is somewhat like that. Your challenge is to name the ten artists and songs based on the pictured symbols below.

As always, please leave your answers in the comments section below and do not use the internet for assistance. Good luck!

Jeopardy Contestant Search 2013

I have three friends that appeared on Jeopardy! over the past few years including Nichole (you may know her from regularly answering Trivia Tuesday questions correctly) who was a one-day champion just last month. Could you be the next person I know to be a Jeopardy! Contestant?

Jeopardy's online test is set for next week (January 8-10), but you should register now to participate. Good luck, and if you're able to advance and go the next round of the contestant search, please keep us posted.


On a completely different topic, while I have slowed down on the number of posts recently, make sure to stop by regularly next week as I have some good posts planned.

Trivia Tuesday: Name That Tune Edition (Plus Jeopardy Info)

Before we get to Trivia Tuesday, I’d first like to congratulate LaCochran’s Evil Twin for winning last week’s giveaway. She was comment #7 as selected by random.org. Thanks again to everyone who entered and to CSNStores.com for providing the prize.



Your challenge this week is to identify the song title and/or artist based on the lyrics below. These are the top 10 songs from Billboard’s 2010 year-end Hot 100 singles chart.

1. There’s no point trying to hide it/no point trying to evade it

2. You gave my life direction/a game show love connection we can’t deny

3. If she ever tries to leave again, Im ‘a tie her to the bed/and set this house on fire

4. Picture perfect memories/scattered all around the floor

5. I want your horror, I want your design/’cause you’re a criminal as long as you’re mine

6. I’m talking about everybody getting crunk, crunk/boys tryin’ to touch my junk, junk

7. Yeah I could use a dream or a genie or a wish/To go back to a place much simpler that this

8. You could travel the world/But nothing comes close to the Golden Coast

9. Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow/honey got some boobies like wow, oh, wow

10. I came to move, move, move, move/Get out the way of me and my crew, crew, crew, crew

As always please leave your answers in the comments section below and do not use the internet for assistance. Good luck!

Update 1/29 8:13 PM EST Well, you won't see me on Jeopardy anytime soon unless I'm in the audience and decide to run on stage to give Alex Trebek a high-five. I bombed the online quiz. Of course, having the George Mason-VCU college basketball game on television in the background probably did not help.
