Stargazing
This week's BBC quiz of the week ended with a question on astronomy, hence the scores' categories.
Now, we all know that Space Oddity was a '70s hit for David Bowie, and Lucky Star was by Madonna, back when she was interesting and relevant; but what about Waiting for a Star to Fall, released all the way back in 1988? That was by Boy Meets Girl, and I knew the answer without having to look it up. (proud)
The reason I didn't have to look it up is not because I love the song, nor am a die-hard fan of the duo. Quite the opposite. I couldn't stand it when it was being played to death on '80s radio, and I'd cheerfully forgotten it in the interim. But it was being played at a seaside fair when I visited the UK recently, and that's when I looked up the artist. [shakes fist]
