NO-ONE has got it right yet?! LOL Surely this something... :D
Subject: Re: LOL!
LOL, I saw that too. I just guessed, and put N'sync. ::)
Subject: Re: LOL!
Perhaps it's because I, and probably many other people, have never even heard any songs from this "A1." Matter of fact, all I know about them is that they're some pop group popular in some other country than this one, and that they covered Take On Me.
Subject: Re: LOL!
I saw it too. Personally? Not a fan. Can cope with their music, liked their cover of Take On Me, listened to a lot of their other music, but I can't count myself a fan. The same with most pop bands, and how their light-weight stuff permeates the industry. Anyway, I digress. I thought I went on that one, and I'm pretty sure I guessed right...
Subject: Re: LOL!
should I reveal my secret method of picking lyrics for that part of the site?
Subject: Re: LOL!
Go on, Chucky. I haven't got you down as an A1 fan... but... it must be something to do with the fact that they must be close to first in your database of misheards...

close.. (yeah, I'm no A1 fan, unless it's A-1 sauce)
basically, I have a script randomly pull a correct lyric out of the database, if I think it's unique enough, I then fill in three other choices..
in this case, I wasn't familiar with the song, but figured A1 was a popular enough boy band someone might know it.. so I just randomly guess at some other boy band names and stuck 'em in there..
I thought it was a great alternate use for the database..

I took today's, and there were two others ahead percentagewise of the correct answer. I guess the Guests to the site read to see their favourite artist's lyrics (misheard and parodized). Anyway...
