Podcast trivia: Were you a winner?

Are you feeling Funyun? The winner of this week's Stuck in the 80s challenge is indeed going to get an autographed bag of Sean Daly's favorite greasy goodness -- modeled here by SIT80s uber-fan Marissa.

The Stuck in the 80s podcast crew has been lazy about disclosing the song and movie titles in our weekly challenges lately. To be honest, it's because we don't always record our shows in the order that you hear them. I know ... you're expecting a more comic reason behind our ineptitude. Something like, Sean lost the winners' names because his mom threw the list away along with a tub-full of decaying lobster shells.

Here are the correct answers for the last three shows:

Episode 112: Night Ranger

Movie clip: Rob Lowe in "St. Elmo's Fire"
Music clip: "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears

Who won the Funyuns: Tune into episode #113 to find out.

Episode 111: One-hit wonders of 1987

Movie clip: John Candy in "Summer Rental"
Music clip: "We Close Our Eyes" by Go West

Episode 110: New Year's Eve playlist

Movie clip: Goldie Hawn in "Wildcats"
Music clip: "Desert Moon" by Dennis DeYoung

Episode 109: A Christmas Story

Movie clip: "Johnny Be Good"
Music clip: "Even The Nights Are Better" by Air Supply

Wow, I really, really sucked this week. I knew I was right, but now I'm so, so wrong. Now I'm just going to sit here in the dark in my office with the lights off, wallowing in self-pity as I listen to Wham! tunes on my iPod.

And no wonder I had no idea about the others.

[bassnote]

I got everything on episode 112, but I stunk on everything else.

[Spears]

Which was the most difficult challenge of that group?

[Tom]

I'd say episode 111. I should have known "Summer Rental" being a big John Candy fan, but not a clue on the music part.

[Walter Cox]

Probably 110. Don't know if I've ever heard Desert Moon since it was on the radio initially. You could have played half the song and I wouldn't have gotten it.

[Shelly]

Shouldn't you have written "Were you a Weiner?" instead of winner? Or, do you just assume that we all heard it in our heads as weiner (like I did)? :)

[Spears]

Just because I have some "ooooutrageous French accent" (name the movie -- anyone?) doesn't mean I'm gonna spell it that way too.

[jane]

I believe that's a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mr. Spears.

[Tom]

"I told them we already got one."

[bassnote]

I think 109 was the hardest one. I think I only saw Johnny Be Good once, and that was back in the 80's. As far as I'm concerned, every Air Supply song sounds the same.

[Spears]

I know Holy Grail is a 70s flick, but can I say once again -- or maybe for the first time -- how much I love it!

Sing along: "We're opera mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a lot!"

[Tonianne]

I believe it's pronounced "Frahnch" accent.

Like Frahnch dressing and Frahnch bread and Frahnch fries.

[jane]

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

[Tom]

"I blow my nose at you, so-called Ah-thoor Keeng, you and all your silly English K-nnnnnnnniggits!" It's funnier to watch John Cleese say it.

[John Hays]

Hey Spears, you've got to go see Spamalot! It's greatness!

[Rick]

I must say, it was extremely good form for Marissa to resist posting on an entry featuring her pretty mug, bag of Funyuns notwithstanding. Bravo, Marissa, bravo!

P.S. Funyuns are my favorite snack food, though the heavy dose of onion powder can keep those closest to you at bay for days. Munchos is a close second, kind of like Funyuns san bad breath.

P.P.S. Whenever I listen to the podcasts and the mystery songs play, I get that same sinking feeling as when someone's name or the right word goes ghost-like through my cerebral cortex only to evaporate into nothing. If that's too vague, it's like having a severe head cold that gives you vertigo. But hey, I love the podcasts anyway, so call me a masochist! I've been called worse.

Just ask Marissa.

(Sorry for the double post: my mouse has a mind of its own and I have punished it several times for such infractions. But it seems my abuse has backfired, and it just becomes more disobedient the more particles of broken plastic there are to rattle around inside it.)

[Spiky Sandy]

Nice to see your face too, Marissa!!

[Marissa]

Thanks Sandy! It's nice to be seen. Now I've ruined what Rick praised me for in his comment. lol But I couldn't let it go without saying thank you to Sandy.
