A new skill every day, in five minutes. Hey guys, I was in the mood for pop quiz related skills after doing yesterday's one, and so let's revisit Beat the Intro, it's a classic. We covered it over 500 episodes ago, well worth a revisit. Alexa, open Beat the Intro.
Beat the Intro. Welcome to the Ultimate Music Game. Say my name to interrupt this song, and then answer with Imagine Dragons. Imagine Dragons.
You got the artist. Lightning fast. For 40 points. Now, you can answer with the song title, the artist, or both of course for bonus points.
So, let's try one more practice track. Interrupt this song and answer with Meet Virginia by Train. Meet Virginia by Train. Never heard of them.
You got the song title and artist. Lightning fast. For the maximum possible 50 points. So, you score 10 points for the right artist, or 10 for the title.
20 points if you can give us both, and the order doesn't matter. Oh, and you can score up to 30 bonus points depending on how fast you answer, and that's it. Hi there, and welcome along to our Beat the Intro daily challenge. We're going to cure your blues today with three blue tracks.
Okay, track number one. Do you hear me? I want to rock and roll all night. I want to rock and roll all night.
Alexa. Rock and roll all night by Slade. No idea, sorry. Rock and roll all night by Kiss has become one of their six songs, and the one they've closed pretty much every live gig with since 1976.
It came about after their label boss urged them to write an anthem for their third album. Rock and roll all night. Okay, track number two. Alexa.
So, um, Rocky theme by the Wambles. I don't know. I actually had this single. Eye of the Tiger.
Eye of the Tiger. Except. Eye of the Tiger. Eye of the Tiger by...
Oh. Brown now be down for whatever. I'll be there for you to grab your award winning. Stop.
Thanks for playing today, and I hope you've had a good time. Make sure you come back again, and please spread the word and tell your friends. I really messed up there, didn't I? Because I wanted to have a second go, to say it was Eye of the Tiger or was it Survivor.
But, obviously, it wasn't expecting an input until the third track, which I obviously got wrong again as well. There you go. Beat the intro. You only got one bite of the cherry, and I was hopeless at that.
But anyway, I'm sure you guys will enjoy playing this if you like music, so give it a go. Beat the intro. Thanks, guys. Speak again tomorrow.
