The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

First topic message reminder :

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda, and include the insects, arachnids, and crustaceans.

Is it a musical? Not a big fan of musicals.

Odd one out.

1. My lightning's flashing across the sky, You're only young but you're gonna die
2. It's like the changing of the seasons and the tides of the sea.
3. In your heart I see the star of every night and every day In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
4. Eat your heart out girls, hands off the merchandise!
5. We've been so many things that have held us down but now it looks like things are finally comin' around, yeah

2. Only Fools & Horses

5. Ain't no stopping us now

Link is entrance music for boxers, odd one out is 2. as Dereck wasn't allowed to use it and had to use LL Cool J instead.

3 Is Simply the Best by Tina Turner, which I only know because of Chris Eubank obviously.

Got to love Union.

Sean posts it at 10:41, Cane nails it at 10:44.

Al that effort, Seany.

1. LL Cool J - Mama Said KYO

Must have heard all those Blues Bros. songs thousands of times in the late 80s.
That and Celebration Time seemed to never stop playing at parties. And Talking Heads of course.

I can still see all these hot chicks (now all mostly married) jump up and hit the dance floor. I made sure I didn't get roped in every time.... by slinking out back to the darkest shadows of the dance floor and trying to avoid eye contact. Worked pretty well.

It drove me mental. I can still hear those songs blaring out even if I don't remember all the words.
Or more precisely - even if I could be bothered to remember all the words. I'm sort of lazy in that respect.
I guess I've sort of mind-archived them, temporarily, to use that particular memory space for more important current things.
They'll come back to me, I know.

is it boxers?

Does anyone want to go on Pointless with me? Applied an age ago and did not get on and want to have another go. Am asking on here because I want to win and am not satisfied any of my friends have the necessary intellectual capacity to make that happen. Also not having actually met gives us an interesting back story, and thus a chance of actually getting on.

If you're stupid don't ask, I don't want to offend, but will obviously not pick you.

He didn't get the odd one out.

Come on and let me see you shake your tail feather...
Come on and let me see you shake your tail feather...
Come on and let me see you shake your tail feather...
Uuuuuhh.... UuUgGhH... UUUUUUHHHH

twistin', do it right, etc.

Ah, feck orf.

And No! I don't want a f*cken dance!

The odd one out is number 4 because I have no idea what it is.

I offered way back on the thread you started when you first applied.

I don't think you even acknowledged my offer.

So you can go f*ck yourself.

Rowley wrote:Does anyone want to go on Pointless with me? Applied an age ago

been meaning to apply for that fecker for a while, though not sure i would pass your selection criteria Jeff...

Answer - boxers have used all songs whilst entering the ring whereas no.4 is an extract from Sexy Boy by Shawn Michaels who used it for his wrestling ring entrance.

Have a feeling it's Only Fools & Horses. Don't know why though.

You'll do Rick. I was kind of hoping Tina would agree, but am obviously on pretty touchy ground there. I will look into it.

Happy to give Tina first digs Jeff His Next jumper combo would stand out a treat under studio lighting, but happy to be in reserve.

You didn't actually start the thread but you revived it to let us know you'd applied.

My exact post was

Nothing back.

Pretty sure K2 vetoed the use of number 2 so it was never used.

Unless you know different?

Between you and me Rick I suspect you're considerably brighter than Tina so would probably be better off with you. I'll try to let him down gently.

Just looked on the BBC, they are not taking applications at the minute.

OK well I will also keep my eye out periodically on the website too.

I suspect you're right, but he won't look as snappily dressed as I would.

Depends what you want to get out of the show, Jeff.

I want to win Tina, nothing else. I would take Catweasle Sean if I thought he would help me achieve that objective.

Two Tribes looks as though it would be easy to win, they have some right divvies on there.

I am definitely up for it and watch it regularly.

Thought about applying myself, funnily enough!

Jeff can be my wingman anytime.

Does it require memorising irrelevant facts? I pretty much know every 6 digit client ref here out of 3000+. It scares people mostly.

You're right, that is funny.

That's almost certain to be one of the rounds as well.

Well why didn't you say sooner Sean, that category comes up pretty much every other show.

I wouldn't go on telly though unfortunately. It would probably freak me out.

See, you and I are on the same wavelength, Jeff.

That's what great comedy duos do. Feed off each other.

We’re like Morecambe and Wise when we’re together. No, not Morecambe and Wise, because there’s no straight man, there’s no dead wood.

I'll do it, but only if we both get to appear wearing massive papier mache heads that conceal our true identities.

I think we would make an excellent quiz team.  All categories are covered and our specialist subjects have a real range to them.

Tina: Natural world (specialist subject: arthropods)
Jeff: Music (specialist subject: Jazz and pre-1930’s swing classics)
Sean: Food & drink (specialist subject: 6 number client references from his work)
Jules: The ancients (specialist subject: Simon de Montford and his life)
Superfly: Modern history (specialist subject: Ginger hair and heart disease)
Rick: Sport and the arts (specialist subject: Random caPital letterS)
Union: Geography (specialist subject: Memorising telephone area codes from 1987)
Loaded Dog: Overseas interest (specialist subject: convicts and Alf Stewart)
Kingraf: Modern culture (specialist subject: Doesn’t really have one.  He is achingly cool and knows more than you about most things)
Shah: Military history (specialist subject: Jihad and rucksacks)

This actually made me LoL

Jihad and rucksacks

I'd prefer my specialist subject to be beaver definiton please.

I think there is a fair amount of Culture Cup scepticism as to the validity of your minge defining claims.

No-one doubts your ability to recall 3000+ client references.
