NTN Encore Question of April 8th, 2006.
Played at the Joe Mercury's in Toronto Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/8...ROCKET and COSMO co-win round. ..........LITBOX...4500/5000...3rd/8. I went 1 for 1 in guessing and split on an answer. OnBeat...ROCKET...13000/14000...1st/8...my two boards and COSMO and PLBAAB co-win round. ..........LITBOX...12500/14000...3rd/8. 8 right and 1 wrong was great as I'd never heard of the answer we missed. JukeBox...ROCKET...18061/20000...1st/8...ROCKET wins round. ...........LITBOX...17542/20000...3rd/8. Triviaoke...ROCKET...23208/28000...1st/8...PINA wins round. .........LITBOX...22706/28000...3rd/8. I took two -250 this round. Noone in the bar knew the lyrics to "Back In Black" and I missed the new song "Unwritten".

Now the Encore answers come up. I say it's all songs by The Cars [not actually true as some were album titles]. Rob says he doesn't know anything about The Cars and he and Phil start debating from recent headlines the reformation of the band as The New Cars. Looks like it's up to me having a cassette tape many years ago of their greatest hits then a more complete greatest hits package on CD.
Encore Question:...The single "Let's Go" is found on this 1979 album by The Cars:

I don't know this for sure as I'm not good on matching songs with albums. I knew it was early in their career. Phil says wasn't there an album called "The Cars" [there was but it wasn't up there]. Well the earliest album is Candy-O I'm pretty sure. I see an answer as "Let's Go" and say they never had an album title of that name. Nope I'll stay with what I have.
Correct Answer:....1. Candy-O
[NTN Extra Fact:...The album also featured "It's All I Can Do" and "Dangerous Type".]
I'm right and win as ROCKET. I finish 10th in North America with 34812. The bar is 11th in North America with a 31691 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 19000 points. [ntn.com deleted our score from the recap out of 1956 bars].
I'd convinced my friends to go with '1' except Sean who said I didn't sell him enough on this answer to convince him to change from '4'.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank ROCKET 23208 34812 10 29 COSMO 23010 34515 11 36 LITBOX 22706 34059 15 50 PLBAAB 20768 31152 42 100 METLCA 20464 x 10232 6496 2244 BTTYBP 16222 x 8111 ---- 3086 TCB 18945 23917 1811 5343 PINA 14152 21228 2732 782 [ntn.com listed 9909 players; well after I added our 8 players back in because we weren't listed.]
