NTN Encore Question of July 14th, 2007.
Played at Joe Mercury's in Toronto, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX all alone at Joe Mercury's. After I got home I found out that my friends had switched for the second time on where they were going tonight. Well that's a problem when someone like me doesn't have a cell phone.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/4...my two boards win. ..........LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/4. I was 2 for 3 in straight guessing but knew or deducted the other answers. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...1st/4. ..........LITBOX...11500/14000...1st/4. I was 7 right and 2 wrong for this week which was great for me playing alone and my limited time to keep up with the current music scene.. JukeBox...ROCKET...15940/20000...1st/4...HEVY D wins round. ...........LITBOX...15940/20000...1st/4. I did OK in this round. About two of the questions I had to wait and switch near the end. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22575/28000...4th/10...ROCKET wins round. .........LITBOX...22571/28000...2nd/10. I took two -250s this round but got the others for mostly top marks. This was very good as I usually mess up this round. A few of the songs that I didn't know the lyrics to had the song title in the answer. I even got the Metallica lyric without Sean's help.

Now the Encore answers come up. Such short words. This is probably a fill-in-the-blank kind of answer. Will it be as easy as "Is This Love?" from years ago?
Encore Question:...Aimee Mann, Metallica, and U2 have all recorded songs with this one word title:

Well let's see I think of the U2 song and in the back of my mind I'm thinking of the Metallica riff at the start of their song. Well that's two out of three, good enough for me. Yeah. Now I'm clear. 'One' is one of my three favourite videos of all time. I have enough time to go over to TCB and tell him my choice but he acts like he knows it already. Only four people were playing.
Correct Answer:....2. One
[NTN Extra Fact:...The U2 song climbed highest on the charts peaking at #10 on the Hot 100 in 1992].
I'm right and win as ROCKET at 33862. I finish 5th on the Network Top 20 in all North America. The bar is 518th in North America. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of either 16000. I finish 4th on this bar's Top 10 Hall of Fame which won't hold up long as this bar is closing at the end of the month. [ntn.com moved us up to 56th out of 1891 bars with a 22802 average].
Wow really important that I can see I can still make the Top 20 all alone but not as much fun as having friends with me.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank ROCKET 22575 33862 5 34 LITBOX 22571 33856 6 35 TCB 17022 25533 1996 299 HEVY D 13482 20763 3491 793 [ntn.com listed 8437 players].
