Beat the Intro!

Yeah, I think it's high time we took a bit of a breather from all the heavy lifting that is bag blog banter just for one post and instead have some organised fun in the form of a ... quiz!!! Seeing as we've recently been talking about why great songs are so great, I've taken the liberty of making a little reel of fine tunes which features the opening notes or beats of 20 well known pop songs from the latter part of the last century. All you have to do is have a listen and see can you get as near to the twenty as I reckon you can and, to make it interesting, well why don't I just plop a cool, crisp pint of eh, Tuborg up on the counter of the bar in The Beggars and tap me fingers as I await the first of you to arrive in with yer awful throat and your list of answers! The accompanying pictures will give you the clues you need and I'll post up the answers in a couple of days.

Answers and more soon ...

Name that tune!
