Tonight I'm playing as ROCKET and LITBOX with Bill DOGGIE. JEREMY joins us later.
Here's how my game went and my comments: Tune Up...ROCKET.4500/5000...1st/3...our three boards win round with 4500. .............LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/3...I go 0 for 1 in guessing as I can't guess Anne Murray's first album title. The LineUp...ROCKET...12500/15000...1st/3...my two win round involving a guess that I couldn't get to Bill. ...........LITBOX...12500/15000...1st/3. We go 8 for 10 for a good score. Triviaoke...ROCKET...20810/25000...1st/4...my two win round. ..........LITBOX...20810/25000...1st/4...I take one -250 this week for a good round. I miss on the Sheriff lyrics. Yikes another Canadian answer I get wrong. Opening Act...ROCKET...28560/35000...1st/4...JEREMY wins round. ................LITBOX...28560/35000...1st/4. The Pound key round. I must have got 8 right for 1000, 0 for +250, 1 for -250, and 1 I didn't answer. I switched from a 1000 to a -250 when the second pass happened. I should never do that unless I'm sure. Headliner...ROCKET...40060/56250...1st/4...DOGGIE wins round. ............LITBOX...40060/56250...1ST/4. CITIES OF THE WORLD:...1. Who pays tribute to Florida's lifestyle in the rap song 'Miami'?--Wil Smith...2. This musical song 'One Night In Bangkok' held #3 spot for 13 weeks in 1985:--Chess...3. Which 80's group recorded a song about building a city on rock and roll?--Starship ...4. This city takes great pride in being the birthplace of the Bosa Nova:--Rio De Janiero...5. L.A. is described as 'Nashville with a tan' on this 90's song:--Lullaby...6. A guy sings about his senorita in Mexico and his fraulein in Berlin on this 1961 song:--Travelin' Man... 7. Which song asks 'Oh baby, don't you want to go back to the same old place'?--Sweet Home Chicago...8. The lyrics in 'I Left My Heart In San Francisco' refers to such cities as Paris and ______:--Rome...9. Which London landmark was the subject of a #1 song in 1966?--Winchester Cathedral...10. His 1992 album title proclaimed 'Too Dumb For New York, Too Ugly For L.A.':--Waylon Jennings
On the Headliner round I miss on questions 7 and 10 which hurt building up bonus points. I had help which I was looking for Jefferson on '3' and almost settled for Huey Lewis and the News. Jeremy gets us '5' as I think I was on the song 'Mr Jones'. None of us got '7'. There are a lot of cities mentioned in '8' but the choices were Rome/Honolulu/Hong Kong/Tokyo/Dublin so it made it easy after all. I missed on '10' by going with Willie Nelson on a list of Country artists.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual. This could be about anything.

I don't know this song. It could be any of these stars. I think I've seen a song listing of Frank Sinatra as a singer of this but he sang hundreds of songs. I can't help any the team. I can only think that somehow Wayne Newton doesn't belong with these jazzy singers. That doesn't mean his show business career/casino act doesn't have him sing this. It would have helped if I knew this song.
Correct Answer:....1. Wayne Newton
[NTN Extra Fact:...The first recording was in 1918 by the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra.]
I looked up on Wikipedia the next day to get the proper spelling and it said the song was written in 1932 and the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra
recorded it in 1952.
I'm right and win as ROCKET/LITBOX with 60090. I earn 3000+ points for meeting the standard of 18000. ROCKET is listed as finishing 19th on the Network Top 20 for all North America. The bar is 12th in North America with a 38214 average which I thought was great for only four players and one of us getting it wrong. I place 7th on this bar's Hall of Fame board as LITBOX. (NTN.com kept our bar in 12th place out of 1679 bars).
