Encore Question of July 24th, 1999.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.

Answers:

  1. The Emotions
  2. Dawn
  3. The Dixie Cups
  4. Hues Corporation
  5. The Supremes

Tonight I'm in 5th place behind a depleted Regulars team of two players, four boards. I haven't had a good game with a 5 right, 4 wrong OnBeat round and at least two or three wrong Triviaoke questions. I was playing with Trev TREV and Bill MADDOG. I had 18729 points going into the Encore round.

My game so far had gone like this.
TuneUp....4500/5000....1st/13...MOLSON, VIKING and I win round.
OnBeat...8500/14000...5th/13...MOLSON and VIKING win and have 12250 points.
JukeBox...13229/20000...5th/15...KELLY wins round, MOLSON has 16649.
Triviaoke...18729/28000...5th/16...I win round.
The lyrics to 'Mony Mony'? Well if I said what they were at the Hannibals/Joe Grinders bar this wouldn't be a family page anymore! I don't know where the alternative lyrics got started but it may have been locally because when I've been on holidays no one else knew them.

I put 50% on the line for this question. TREV says week after week "I can only help you if the question is about Petulia Clark or The Dixie Cups". Now this week it was about The Dixie Cups although he gave me an answer for OnBeat or I would have done even worse.

Question:....What 1970's singing group consisted of the Hutchinson sisters?

I didn't know who the Hutchinson sisters were but I wasn't worried because I could work through all the groups personnel in enough time. Dixie Cups were from the early 60's. Supremes weren't sisters, the two women in Tony Orlando and Dawn I knew their names although I could only think of one right away (Thelma Hopkins). That left only two, Hues Corporation was a guy and a gal "Rock The Boat". The Emotions? Had to hum "Best Of My Love" that came out the same year as The Eagles completely different song. Yep that was them. Kim (MOLSON, VIKING) had come over to the bar to ask what we picked. Defend the bar's good standing etc....ok, I told him. Bill said I could have won the game but I still wanted to do something nice for the baseball ticket they offered me last week. They said everyone had a good time with box seats from the newspaper that sponsers the sports trivia at 9:30pm.

Correct Answer:.....1 The Emotions.

I'm right and stay in 5th place. I finish with 28093 points and that's good enough for 463rd place in North America. I earn 3000+ Players Plus points for meeting the 17000 point standard for this week's game. The bar finishes 11th in North America with a 29957 average and I get Kim to thank me.

Here's how our bar did: I'd never heard of most of these other players.
