Moopy Family Fortunes 2019 - FINAL WEEK RESULTS!

[Yvonne Mondle]

Maybe you should try playing Family Fortunes on a Radio 3 forum.

Well at least they’d know who’s a classical composer and who’s NOT

 

[Alla]

Yes. That is the main reason why no one answered that.

And the fact that it isn't very reggae.

 

[octophone]

Fuck's sake, I've showed my age here. Never even considered Calvin Harris...

 

[Rita]

I have had quite a few top answers but also quite a few stinkers. @Alla how am I doing as I am LOST.

[Alla]

I have had quite a few top answers but also quite a few stinkers. @Alla how am I doing as I am LOST.

You're doing ok but not brilliant. Just pray for the top 3 doing worse. @jyxz is not having a good round so far, we'll see...

I can't see it.

 

[dmlaw]

Question 12 is fundamentally flawed as there is no such thing as a popular jazz musician.

 

[octophone]

I've had a James Blunt of a round this week. But I;m genuinely surprised at being the only person who thought of "Dinner With Gershwin".

Maybe if she's sung "Dinner With John Williams", it might have done better.

 

[Alla]

Who is Barbra Striesand?

 

[octophone]

Question 12 is fundamentally flawed as there is no such thing as a popular jazz musician.

!

 

[Alla]

I said Grace Kelly because someone named it last round, basically.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

If Jamie Cullum gets the most points, I'm going to go fucking mental.

 

[octophone]

YAAAAS! The master.

I’m particularly enjoying the use of the oversized finger emoji in this thread

 

[floppet]

I forgot to put Duck Sauce in front of Barbara Streisand! What a knob

[Indie]

Loving the john Williams uproar. For the record, he has composed non-film classical music too

 

[Alla]

Only 1 other poster says Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers but chooses that other song over their big hit Swing the mood?!?! FOR GOD'S SAKE!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

So time for the penultimate question!

 

[Raining on Me]

Oh god that fucking REGGAE question.

I know 'All That She Wants' isn't "reggae" but it's sort of reggae tinged (isn't it? Oh maybe not) and I couldn't think of anything else that would be an obvious point magnet.

And as is abundantly clear classical purists, the answers don't have to be right

Should have just said Shaggy which was my first thought

 

[Yvonne Mondle]

How horrendous that JIVE BUNNY had to come to mind for anyone. Luckily I can offer specialist PTSD counselling

TOUT NU OBV

 

[Indie]

FUCK!

I nearly put gorillaz for BOTH fictional artist and famous person. Went for the wrong one in the end.

Wasnt the only question where I nearly put the same answer for both

 

[Alla]

How horrendous that JIVE BUNNY had to come to mind for anyone. Luckily I can offer specialist PTSD counselling

TOUT NU OBV

 

[dmlaw]

Six people had Clint Eastwood for that but not for question 11? What is wrong with you?
