Turnout at Pete’s Candy Store’s Quizz-Off was thin last, night, likely due to the Yankee game. But it was fun anyway, particularly as our team was hosting! We had six rounds of brilliant trivia, two of which were audio rounds. Hear them below…

The first audio round, of my design, was songs with at least some French lyrics. One point for the artist, one point for the country of origin or strongest association of the artist. For the historical record, and for your enjoyment, here it is, with answers hidden below (select the text with the mouse to see it). (The Beastie Boys are just to test the volume.)

1   Stereolab, (Three Women), England/UK
2   LaBelle, (Lady Marmalade), USA (not Patty LaBelle!)
3   Arcade Fire, (Une Anee Sans Lumiere), Canada
4   Carla Bruni, (Quelqu’un M’a dit), Italy or France (the first lady!)
5   Amadou and Miriam, (Senegal Fast Food), Mali
6   April March, (Laisee Tombee La Filles/Chick Habit), USA
7   Emmy Lou Harris, (J’ai Fait Tout), USA
8   Wyclef/Muziel, (24 Heures a Vivre), Haiti (Wyclef Jean is fine)
9   Prototypes, (Who’s Gonna Sing), France (used in an iPod commercial)
10   Edith Piaf, (Je ne regret rien), France
11   Le Tigre, (Fake French), USA (not actually French! hah!)

And here’s the second audio round of the evening, created by Rachel. Halloween-themed, loosely, with lyrics or titles of a creepy nature!

1 Radiohead We Suck Young Blood
2 Bobby Pickett Monster Mash
3 Aimee Mann Frankenstein
4 Jay-Z Lucifer
5 Guided by Voices Demons Are Real
6 Indigo Girls Ghost
7 Warren Zevon Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
8 Rockwell I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me
9 Crowded House I Feel Possessed
10 AC/DC Hell’s Bells
11 Michael Jackson Thriller
