Hospital Radio's Quiz and Awards Night last Saturday and I put the 2 music rounds together. This year I went for topical and so we had the 'Recession Blues'. I play a short bit from each of these tracks and they have to guess the title and artist:

Sunny Afternoon/The Kinks
Money Money Money/Abba
Money Can’t Buy It/Annie Lennox
If I Were A Rich Man/Topol
Half A Sixpence/Tommy Steele
Brother Can You Spare Me A Dime/Bing Crosby
You’ve Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two/Jonathan Pryce

Then with all the reborn interest in dancing, with Dancing On Ice, Strictly Come Dancing etc., I did a Dance round again they had to name title & artist/composer:

That is really very great.The quiz covers a range of genres and eras and has been designed to evaluate everyone from the casual listener to the hippest music expert. Some of you will discover that years of carefully building your music collection have paid off and will feel the warm glow that comes from proving you know more about music than just about anyone else you know. Others will find that they have reached a musical midlife crisis and it's time to take action.
