Okay, and now we've met our contestants, let's get to the game!
I'm going to ask an amount of four questions, and you'll try to answer them correctly. Now, you out there in the audience can answer along with them!

How many feathers are on a Purdue chicken?

How many fibers are intertwined in a Shredded Wheat biscuit?

What does 'Touche et lele pu' mean?

How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat?

Brilliant stuff Phil, one of the best & most innovative albums of all time

On the basis that there is a lot of music knowledge here maybe we should have a week of music related trivia questions?

We used to have lyric of the day at a place I once worked you learnt a lot about peoples tastes in music and often came away with a gem that you had never heard before.

I'm guessing its a middle eastern word. No idea what it means but If you have stayed on the music theme then possibly a song of some type.

You're on the right track (no pun intended!) but you'll need to be a little more specific.

It was an educated guess to get that far Mrcoop. I've got nothing more I can add. Hopefully someone else can fill in the missing bit.

Well, it's a lyrical poem, more often than not sung....so I guess your answer of 'a song of some type' is close enough.

Over to you...

I've shocked myself I got that close to the answer. Another nugget of information for the knowledge bank

80's and 90's were the decades of cheesy lyrics so just for a bit of fun a couple of ch-easy questions :-

A) which top ten record from 1994 had a cheese in the title ?
B) which is the only cheese which is made backwards ? (bonus point only)

I can get the bonus. Struggling with the actual question though.

Points all round. I was going to ask a question about EDAM and the Ants :)

Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen, It was the soundtrack to the movie Philadelphia and reached number 2 in the UK charts.

Your question Zagatoes and well worked out on the bonus question Mr C.

Not a musical Q but it has a musical background

"La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh)" was a foot tapper by Manic Street Preachers (worth a listen)
The translation of the title is reported as The Sadness Will Last Forever


But the Q is
whose last words were they?

If it is too hard I will leave clues
