Backwards Christmas

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Let me spoil it somewhat with this challenging painful quiz

15 Classic Christmas Classics (the ones you suffer as you do your Xmas shopping) played backwards; can your guests identify the songs and performers before reaching for the aspirin

Suffer: John Lennon & Plastic Ono Band, Shakin’ Stevens, Dean Martin, Paul McCartney, East 17, Chris Rea, Greg Lake, Brenda Lee, Mud, The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, Maria Carey, Elton John, Cliff Richard, Jona Lewie, Slade

London

Lots of clips here and they are all about London.

Some have “London” in the title but 10 clips don’t. The challenge is to identify these 10 places, which include roads, stations, areas and hills from the songs that do not have London in the title . For this quiz London means everywhere from and including the M25

So here we go with 14 song clips from old time music halls, movies as well as pop songs old and new. Enjoy Chris Rea, New Vaudeville Band, The Kinks, Warren Zevon, Roxy Music, Pet Shop Boys, Julie Andrews, Chas & Dave, The Fratellis, Duffy, The Clash, The Beatles, Gerry Rafferty
