Encore Question of April 22, 2000.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.
Answers:
Tonight I'm still hanging in with this game thanks to Richard as my Playmaker board conked out and he was able to transfer my points after the OnBeat round with me losing just one question in the transition. Our group tonight was Richard BERGIE, Dave GOTOGO (for Go Toronto Go, in honour of the hockey team), Kimmo KAV, and Bill MADDOG. My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....5000/5000...1st/17...9 way tie for 1st place. OnBeat...11750/14000...5th/17...GOTOGO wins round and takes lead...7 right, 1 wrong, 1 no answer as board off. JukeBox...16114/20000...5th/17...ELVIS wins round...MADDOG in lead with 17759. Triviaoke...22826/28000...5th/17...JAY wins round.
The Encore answers are all song titles. We start naming who sang each one of these early 1970s songs. Everyone convinced to put 50% on the line.
Question:...Argent's only Top 10 hit was the 1970's single:
No trouble here and others knew it too. I knew it from the time it came out back in 1972 and in the last few months I had bought the CD Absolutely The Best--The Zombies with liner notes about their break up and what Rod Argent did next. MOLSON came over to check up on us. His group had switched some of their team names to LFSWIN and LEAFS. It was quite a cheering session during the OnBeat round when the Leafs finally scored on Ottawa Senators in overtime after chance after chance.
Correct Answer:...4. Hold Your Head Up
[NTN extra fact:...This one hit wonder was founded by ex-Zombies member Rod Argent.]
