Kind of obscure, but if you listen to the album, you can clearly tell that she's singing backup. The only question is...who? Let's see who knew it. We'll start with Darion, and he wrote down...(I take his board)
SHERYL CROW
He's right! Sheryl Crow did that. We'll bump you up to 90 points and second place...for now. Let's see what Matt said (I take his board).
MELISSA ETHERIDGE
Oh, dear. You know, it sounds like something she would do, and she is from the Midwest, but it wasn't her. Can't award any points, but I won't take any away. James, you were on a tear with those last few questions. Did you say Sheryl Crow? (I take his board)
SHERYL CROW
He did! Here are the scores after Round One (Applause as theme vamp plays).
JAMES: 200 points
DARION: 90 points
MATT: 70 points
When we come back, we'll play Round Two, where the point values double and our players can gain ground quickly. Stay with us!

Visit us at modanashville.com.  And now, let's play more "Fandango" with our pretty edgy host, Jonathan Darrall! (Applause) ME: Thanks, Edgar! James has jumped out to a good lead, but that lead may not last for long. In Round Two, all point values are doubled. 20 points per toss-up, and the Bonus Board, which Edgar has reloaded with the same categories, has questions worth from 40 to 200 points, in 20-point increments. That means, in one go-round, you can add up to 220 points to your score. All right, gentlemen, back to action with this toss-up. I'll provide three clues about a well-known singer of the 1980s. Buzz in and name her.
1. Last name is Darwish.
2. Discovered in a country-western club in 1981 and toured with Jerry Lee Lewis.
3. After losing on "Star Search," signed a contract and had a hit single with "I Think We're Alone Now." |

Let's go with Crossover hits

Post by jmdarrall on Sept 16, 2015 16:22:38 GMT -5
Going back to CROSSOVER HITS. Blake will reveal that it's worth...(BONG!)  80 points. Matt, be ready if James is wrong. James... In 1980, Johnny Lee had a huge crossover hit with a song from the movie "Urban Cowboy." In it, what was he "doin'" "in all the wrong places"? |

Correct, right down to the pronunciation! (Applause) Big hit for Johnny Lee, and you know that that's not the only crossover hit from that film - "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" also featured in that film. Interesting little piece of trivia for you there. James is at 300, Darion 90, Matt 70. Let's try this toss-up and see if we can't get Darion or Matt to catch up. Multiple choice question...
The Grand Ole Opry has moved all around Nashville since its inception 90 years ago. The last time it had to spend any significant time away from its regular home was in 2010, when a natural disaster rendered it unusable. Was that due to...a flood, a snowstorm, or a tornado?

Right! The Cumberland River flooded, causing the Opry to be flooded, too. You're at 90 and tied with Darion, trailing by 210. You may choose any Bonus Board category, except CROSSOVER HITS.

Let's see what we've got under LOVE SONGS (Blake touches the screen...BONG!).  Nice one! 140 points. Darion, if Matt is wrong, the question goes to you. Matt... Composed in 1969 by Kris Kristofferson and later performed by him and wife Rita Coolidge, this song became a big country hit for Sammi Smith in 1971. Since then, numerous country and pop artists recorded it, including Tammy Wynette, Gladys Knight, Jerry Lee Lewis, and even Olivia Newton-John. Name this romantic song. |

ME: You weren't required to sing it, but that's right (Applause)! You are way in the lead now with 440. Matt and Darion are tied with 90 apiece.
EDGAR: I've still got a 200-pointer somewhere on me, Darion and Matt, so you can catch up fast.
ME: Took the words out of my mouth. Let's try this toss-up.
The rapid-fire bass line of this 1982 #1 pop hit was said to resemble the sounds of a boxer's speed bag - a plausible explanation, as it was written as the theme to the third "Rocky" movie. Name the song.

My school's song, too! That's right! You're up to 460 and once again, you have control of the Bonus Board. Any category except LOVE SONGS or CROSSOVER HITS.

ME AND THE BOYS...first time in that category. In this one, all the answers are band names that follow the format "_______ and the _______." Blake will reveal that it's worth...(BONG!)  60 points, so it should be relatively easy. Darion and Matt, be ready if he misses, because it will become a toss-up. James... Edgar will play a song by a band that unified the Motor City's two musical traditions: classic soul and hard rock. Name the group. Edgar, play it...
(Edgar plays this tune)
"I remember how she held me oh so tight. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then. Against the wind...we were runnin' against the wind..." |

ME: Good for 60 (Applause)! James has 520, while Matt and Darion are tied at 90 each. Don't give up, guys, a couple of big ones will get you right back in the hunt. Meanwhile... EDGAR: Hey, Jonathan, you and James just said that "Eye of the Tiger" was your high schools' theme song, right? ME: Sure was. EDGAR: I also happen to know that it was the number one song the week you were born, Mr. Darrall, so how about that? ME: Are you basically saying I'm old? (Audience laughter) EDGAR: Me? Heavens no. Besides, you're not THAT old, despite the grey hairs and all... ME: Aw, knock it off! EDGAR: Come on, Jonathan. Don't deny it...after all, denial is just a river in Egypt. Puh-hah-hah! (Audience boos and hisses again as I plug my nose, indicating a "stinker") Ah, well...here's something y'all will appreciate (prize cue plays).  EDGAR: The Samsonite Winfield 2 three-piece spinner hard-sided luggage set. Includes a 20-inch, 24-inch, and 28-inch polycarbonate expandable bag, each with brush-stroke colors to hide scratches and dings. This prize will go to the one who provides the correct answer to this question. ME: Maybe that's what I need: a brush-stroke finish to hide my dings (Audience laughter). Hands on buzzers for this... Since 1958, country and gospel fans alike have been delighted by the sounds of the Statler Brothers. Of the original foursome, how many were actually brothers? |
