Music Trivia problem

[Baatman]

Let me start off by saying that I was a Radio DJ for 30 years... I'm a music freak, and I'm passionate about my specialty "MUSIC", music from the 30's through today. Just off the Gem, participated in every music trivia (Name That Tune) contest.. won them all, graciously gave my prize to the others playing the contest.. I really don't need a bottle of bubbly, I just enjoy playing. Now for my complaint: The very first contest of 20 songs contained (2) two incorrect answers.. One was "A Lovers Concerto" by the Toys, the other was "Wonderful World" by Sam Cooke. The Norwegian show host identified that last tune as "Don't Know Much About History" as the title, and the other was dubbed "Back in My Arms Again", by the Supreme's.. both totally incorrect. When I brought this to thier attention (and the audience agreed with me) they said "Well that's not what's on the paper they gave me"... I said IF YOU'RE NOT A MUSIC EXPERT, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S INCORRECT AND IT IS... They stuck to their guns, I still won, but I offered to prove and correct the fact that the contest they're doing has 10% wrong answers. Look at it this way, If the Captain of the Gem was playing a game where they asked what the GEM's sister ship was and they said it was the EPIC, he's stand right up and say: "I can tell you that it's the Jewel, and I should know"... I sent two sheets to the Manager of the GEM, without response, both times offering my assistance to get it right and a full-proof way to insure that the answers are correct. There is a program called SHAZAM that on the iPhone will listen to a few seconds of any song and identify ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM... still my offer to "get it right" was ignored. This is 100% nit-picking, but I'm so passionate about my profession. I love to help people identify songs they're searching for by just a line or two, or a movie it was in or locate the song for them in my library if I'm performing and make their occasion special. I just wish an offer to help did not fall on deaf ears. Fire away and tell me to "get a life".

 

The person(s) running the game probably gave you their best answer. They were running the game as they were told. Seems like you should have gone up the ladder a step or two.

Love it! Microfiche really made me laugh out loud.

 

Thank you 😊 I worried that no one picked up on my humour 😊

Last week on the Norway, during current events trivia, they said that Donnie Osmond was the one who dangled his baby over the railing!

OMG! That's worse than the activities manager on the Celebrity Summit in June who didn't know the first names of the Golden Girls, although he insisted he did, and who didn't know the name of the city where "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" took place, even though he insisted that he did, and it's much worse than another activities guy on the Summit who insisted that Benjamin Franklin was a President of the USA and got quite irate when literally everyone participating in the trivia contest disagreed with him. And I was very surprised to find out that the activities guy was a USA citizen!

 

But to be Donny Osmond and have people running a trivia contest claiming that you dangled your baby over a railing - that's horrible!
