46. Time after Time, though she wasn't the only one who wrote it.

49. was David Bowie.

Two correct answers, Sean. No, Cyndi didn't write it - that's why I phrased it as her single rather than her song. And Bowie's real name is David Jones.

Oh oh oh, and 45 was "God's Jan Vermeer". Just had to remember my Richman, was tempted to say "Pablo Picasso", because of the whole Richman painter thing.

44 is Hank Williams

Goddamit, I knew the answer to that McCarthy question. I just woke up a few hours too late

43 I'm tempted to answer "THASS NOT MUSIC MATE" but instead I'll remember that compilation he put out and say Liam Howlett instead.

47: Irma Thomas (for Pain in my Heart)

Am I right or am I wrong?

And I knew about Bruce Johnston out of the Beach Boys and Frans Hals of Laughing Cavalier fame too. Can I have the points? The points are very lonely and they need an owner, they are crying in fact.

I am wrong :-( I am also incapable of reading.

David Bowie = Davy Jones of The Monkees!

Hello again. Punk's Perry Como was Billy Idol (fair enough, in a meaningless kind of way), and Irving Berlin wrote the music for Annie Get Your Gun, but it doesn't matter because Sean won by a good margin anyway, with Ned and Bill runners up. Congratulations, Sean!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Academy, Puff Daddy and ooo ooo oh yeah GOD for the chance and privilege to win this bad boy! (And thanks Martin for the interesting questions!) I know you said the prize was inconsequential...was it a boot in the butt?)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 26 August 2002 15:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think I said that if there was a prize it wouldn't be worth having. I have since realised that I offered a C90 comp prize last time I did this, and still owe it to the winner. That's pushing two months ago! Aargh! If you'd like to send me your address by email, Sean, maybe having two tapes to send off might get me off my lame arse...
