NTN Encore Question of March 10th, 2007.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Sean METLCA, Rob COSMO, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...2nd/7...my two boards win round. ..........LITBOX...4500/5000...2nd/7. I went 3 for 4 in guessing and got help on another. OnBeat...ROCKET...10500/14000...1st/7...my two and COSMO and METLCA win round. ..........LITBOX...10500/14000...1st/7. 6 right and 3 wrong wasn't so good but one better than last week. I got one from Rob and guessed two right although I hadn't heard the news. The questions are getting more obscure. JukeBox...ROCKET...15139/20000...1st/7...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...15139/20000...1st/7. Not so good in this round except compared to last week even though we got the choices we wanted. Triviaoke...ROCKET...19856/28000...3rd/7...METLCA wins round and takes the lead. .........LITBOX...19878/28000...2nd/7. I take two -250 in this round including the last question which is always a modern song. It caused me to just fall back below 20000.

Now the Encore answers come up. Looks like Beach Boys songs except for the first choice. I am a big fan so I should get this.
Encore Question:...The 1964 single was the first US Number 1 hit for The Beach Boys:

I give the answer before the answers come back up. I know all the facts. The group had four #1 hits. The only other one of the choices that topped the chart was "Help Me Rhonda" which was issued later. "Fun Fun Fun" came out before "I Get Around" but didn't make #1. The other two Beach Boys titles didn't make to the top neither. "The Mouse" was a song I'd read about before but it was by the comedian Soupy Sales.
Correct Answer:....2. I Get Around
[NTN Extra Fact:...The song was the opening track of their album 'All Summer Long'.]
I'm right and stay in second as LITBOX with 29817. I finish 17th in all North America. The bar is 8th in North America with a 28849 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 20000 points.
(ntn.com left us in 8th place out of 1969 bars).

There was a promotion on Moosehead beer which I drink when I'm at this bar and with the other guys switching to that brew for part of tonight, I ended up with six glass Moosehead coasters although not all the different patterns to complete the set. Thanks guys!
