And I'm going to guess #1 is actually Veronica by Elvis Costello

DavidMedsker · 5 months ago

#1 is indeed "Veronica" and not "A New England." I presume you meant Kirsty MacColl and not Kristy McCullogh, yes?

All other guesses are correct. I told you this week would be an easy one.

Aiiieeeee! Please read game rules. Max three guesses per update, thanks.

Matt · 5 months ago

Sorry - luckily 3 of the 4 I got right were already suggested during the time I was composing mine. Maybe I just won't come back here again and then I won't screw up y'all's little game.

Matt · 5 months ago

I interpreted the rules as though my one entry was one guess.

DavidMedsker · 5 months ago

Oh, come now, don't pout. We're just trying to make sure everyone gets the chance to play. I'll talk to the Popdose legal department about how to more concisely write the rules.
