The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz

I'll take a stab at Rowlf if Rolph is wrong.

 

Edit- I timed that toilet trip just wrong, lol!

 

Well, it's unusual for me to beat anyone on this game on timing! Like I said, I've just spent a week watching the muppets, and could have got them all straight off if it wasn't for the timing...

 

I want to work for Jim Henson... I need to practise a LOT before I'm up to sending an audition video though!

[+keehotee]

Oh, Rowlf is how you spell it, I think!

Ding...

 

As you got the last answer, but CHC had 2.5 dings - final Ding and the honour (?) of setting the next question goes to the first of you two to read this and set one...... mwahahahahahahahaha

[+ClareLouise]

Well, if CHC are feeling gutted at missing the chance, I'll withdraw this question, but here goes...

 

6 random lines from random musicals! Dings for anyone who gets them right- bonus dings for anyone who can tell me the character and song title!

 

1. "I'm only thinking of him, whatever I may do or say, I'm only thinking of him"

 

2. "Life's more painless for the brainless, why think to hard when it's so soothing?"

 

3. " You must be always on your guard, or he will catch you with his magical lasso!"

 

4. "It's just a light romance, nothing cruel, they made no plans"

 

5. "Knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians, tightrope walkers and acrobats"

 

6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A."

 

Good luck!

[+minstrelcat]

5 - Cats - the title of the song is "Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer" and one of those characters is singing that line.

[+keehotee]

hahaha - I know number 1...............

ding! ding! ding!

[+ClareLouise]

hahaha - I know number 1...............

 

So you should!

[+jenandberry]

We think 1 might be chess, don't know about song title and 4 is blood brothers, the song is light romance and its sung by the narrator.

[+Simply Paul]

Is it too soon to call for clues?

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

 

6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A."

 

 

Is from the Fame musical

 

Edit to add, the P.A. they talk about is the school for the performing arts ... and I thought a few of them sang it, can't recall if it was one individual in particular.

So, I guess that we're all stumped by these questions. I've googled some of them and have never heard of them (but that's not much of a suprise).

 

So do we wait for a musicals expert to stumble upon this thread, or should ClareLouise put us out of our misery, get a bonus point for stumping us all, and set a new question?

[Nediam]

No. 3 - Phantom of the Opera

[+keehotee]

Ignore!

Ignored!

[+Simply Paul]

I'm playing my official Gee It Up card. Come on ClareLouise, give us some initial letters, or something! Also, a recap of the questions and the answers (correct or otherwise) would be handy

[+ClareLouise]

3 Dings for number 4... 1 is not Chess, I'm afriad!

Edit to add, the P.A. they talk about is the school for the performing arts ... and I thought a few of them sang it, can't recall if it was one individual in particular.

 

Yep, you're right! Ding for the musical, and for the fact that it's sung by a few! (So that's two!)

[+ClareLouise]

6 random lines from random musicals! Dings for anyone who gets them right- bonus dings for anyone who can tell me the character and song title!

2. "Life's more painless for the brainless, why think to hard when it's so soothing?"

 

3. " You must be always on your guard, or he will catch you with his magical lasso!" Right, 1 ding to Nediam- it is Phantom of the Opera!

 

4. "It's just a light romance, nothing cruel, they made no plans"- 3 dings to jenandberyy

 

5. "Knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians, tightrope walkers and acrobats" - 3 dings to MinstrelCat

 

6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A."- 2 dings to Dorset Girl (the song title is still up for grabs!)

 

Good luck!

[+ClareLouise]

No. 3 - Phantom of the Opera

 

Ding. Anyone one know who sings it or the song title?

[+ClareLouise]

OK, clue time! (Apologies for the delay at getting back, I've not have iternet access for the past few days!)

 

1. "I'm only thinking of him, whatever I may do or say, I'm only thinking of him"

Hint: It was a film featuring Peter O'Toole

 

2. "Life's more painless for the brainless, why think to hard when it's so soothing?"

Hint: A new-ish musical to London, arrived from Broadway and proving to be very "Popular". There are posters for this EVERYWHERE on the Underground!

[+kennamatic]

Number 2 seems familiar and i've only een a couple of musicals this year so I'll guess at Wicked!

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

So what is the state of play here now please?

[+ClareLouise]

Hmmm... right, things currently stand at:

 

3 dings to Minstel Cat

3 dings to jenandberry

2 dings to Dorset Girl

1 ding to Nediam

1 ding to kennamatic

 

Am happy to call it a day at that, and whichever of MC and J&B do it first can set the next question, or to let people try and get the remaining bits... doesn't bother me which way it goes! Any thoughts, anyone?

"Calling Minstrel Cat or jenandberry!, Minstrel Cat or jenandberry... Could we have a new question, please?"

Edited April 28, 2008 by The Blorenges

[+minstrelcat]

*claps hand over ears* Sorry, wasn't expecting to be called upon to set the next question!

 

Carrying on the same theme then, name the musical and song title these lyrics come from (I'll leave out character to make it a bit easier)

 

1. "All the little boys excited, All the little girls delighted, What a lot of fun for ev'ryone, Sitting in the sun all day."

 

2. "Red - the blood of angry men! Black - the dark of ages past! Red - a world about to dawn! Black - the night that ends at last!"

 

3. " For he's a master criminal who can defy the law, He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair"

 

4. "We'll think of you every time she's on the air, We'd love you to stay but you'd be in the way, So do up your trousers and go"

 

5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. "

[+rutson]

1: The Sun has got his hat on.

2: Les Mis

2. "Red - the blood of angry men! Black - the dark of ages past! Red - a world about to dawn! Black - the night that ends at last!" - one ding to CHC

[+Al & Tracy Smith]

5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. "

 

That would be "Chicago" I think.

[+minstrelcat]

5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. "

 

That would be "Chicago" I think.

 

Correct! I just need the name of the musical in question 1 and the name of the songs in questions 2, 4 and 5. The person who gets the last one right gets the big DING.

[+rutson]

1: Me and My Girl

[+Al & Tracy Smith]

Whopps didn't read all the question!

 

 

5. song name is "Cell Block Tango"

4. "We'll think of you every time she's on the air, We'd love you to stay but you'd be in the way, So do up your trousers and go" - one ding to rutson

 

5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. " - two dings to A&TS

 

Just need the names of the songs in questions 2 & 4 now.

[+minstrelcat]

Hmm no replies for a while.

 

I think the ding should be passed to Al & Tracy Smith as they got the last answer correct.

 

Missing answers by the way are 2 - Red and Black (clue is in the question!) and 4 - Goodnight and Thank You.
