    Can't believe I didn't think of Fairytale of New York!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    I was in too much of a rush to be first to reply to think of it.

    I was debating between Fairytale Of New York and Last Christmas on this one, and I knew I should've gone with the Pogues, but some otherworldly force compelled me to vote Wham and not turn my back on them as Last Christmas is my Christmas Karaoke go to...

    Morning elves! Welcome to day three of the Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar

    LikableSorrowfulKingsnake-size_restricted.gif

    Today we're going to stick with the Christmas songs theme. Yesterday bubblypop and LeftSheepRight picked this as their Christmas pop song...

    Do_They_Know_It%27s_Christmas_single_cover_-_1984.jpg

    ...but I want to know how well you remember it (or how well you can google it!)

    Question 3: Name one of the singers on Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

    6pm deadline again.
    New players still welcome.
    And don't forgot your Christmas Star!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Original version only?

    No wrong answers in sheep ;)

    But I was thinking original, yes :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,400 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Good question


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Halfway already - 19 entries from 38, including another new player, welcome Siobh73 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Lunchtime bump

    30/38 answers in :)


    Just thinking - if anyone misses three days in a row I'll drop them from the list, ensure the wooden spoon is a fair fight ;)
    Hopefully it won't happen, and I can easily add people back in if they reappear

    Three people used their stars this round

    And playing my star early

    One seemed a little lost but was lucky...

    Bono ???

    (I have no clue, think I shall need that Christas star for this one, EN :) Thanks!)

    And one was trepidatious and right to be...
    BuileBeag wrote:
    Bob Geldof

    and with much trepidation I would like to use my Christmas Star on this.

    I know there's a ton of singers to choose from here but what kind of lunatic wouldn't say Bob Geldof?! Band aid.. everyone immediately thinks Bob Geldof.. right?!? :S

    I knew Bono would easily sheep but I didn’t want to use my star as evidently many people can’t stand him.

    Momentous occasion (this will never happen again!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    I knew Bono would easily sheep but I didn’t want to use my star as evidently many people can’t stand him.

    I really ummed and ahhed about asking this question as I thought Bono might take nearly all the votes, I'm delighted that Bob Geldof put up a bit of a fight!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,421 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    I was going Bono but changed at the last minute, ah well, long way to go. Actually nearly picked Boy George.

    Craking question that one EN.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Wait? Stars? What's this now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Wait? Stars? What's this now?
    Also, everyone will start with one Christmas Star. You may use that on any day to double that day's score (hat tip to Kolido for the idea), just let me know when you send your answer
    And, if you're confident of a high score, don't forget you can double today's score by playing your Christmas star. You only have one though, pick your day wisely!
    And don't forgot your Christmas Star!

    ;)

    Yeah! Feeling really clever here now! It's all downhill from here and I'm wondering will there be a massively obvious sheep to come that I should have saved my star for??
