Trivia
My brain has a lot of knowledge in it. I kid you not. However, my brain doesn't seem to retain much Trivia. For two weeks in a row I've attended the Howl At The Moon (HATM)Singapore Trivia Night. I haven't fared well. The "Groovey Ganders" remain confused.
It's a very entertaining scene - two pianists and a comedian asking you questions which leave you completely baffled. Well, not everyone is of course. There are the "intellectuals" up the back who challenge that a question has THREE, not ONE answer and so on... (what's more they call their team "Satan's Underpants"). The buggers actually won by one point to another team called "Multiple Scoregasms". They scored a case of beer. Good let em get drunk and play!! (hee hee)
The penny dropped for the irrepressible TJ, "Singapore's black Ang Moh", our irreverent host, as to the relationship between Trivia and Music last night. He rang me today to express his excitement about it. He nearly had a scoregasm himself over Scott (the leader of the band) devising an Usher song played in a Beatles tune manner. He left it up to Scott to come up with the final question in this manner. Most of the audience couldn't tell... well we didn't know the lyrics to Usher's songs did we!
People get frustrated that the HATM Trivia Night isn't presented in categories. But we don't want to copy other people's stuff. We are unique in that we have live musicians playing TV theme songs, tunes, and baffling us by mixing up the lyrics with weird tunes. Yes, we are rapidly evolving as a Music Trivia Night.
So if you think you know all about music, come on down to Howl At The Moon, near Emerald Hill, next Tuesday by 7.30pm. You will be assessed by your Team Name. See you there. I'm the baffled one at the front.
