Blast, I was considering Surfin’ USA, but I figured that it was a “California” thing, and wasn’t particularly limited to summertime.

And…Saturday in the Park? You only think it was the Fourth of July. My choice (clearly not a popular one) definitely was.

67

I didn’t even read far enough to see that Gellar was in that-- I just saw the first listed name, thought “OK, I’ve heard of her, sounds like a good guess” and moved on to the next question. If the first-billed actor had been someone I’d never heard of, then I’d have read further.

68

I’m gonna be *so *far down the list! Hoo-eh bros, could be last this time! Cross fingers, yeah?

Brain farted on sleeping bag. Bedroll?:smack:

I had actually written Gellar in for this same reason. But I figured that Hewitt was the star of the franchise so I switched to her.

That said, I don’t remember why I figured a lot of people would be picking “MacArthur Park”.

73

Is there a reason for the arbitrary cutoff?
Given that you don’t want to see other people’s answers, it’s pretty hard to tell that it’s over until the thread is marked closed. Why not let people play up to that point?

74

It’s a tradition that we have 50 entries. The spreadsheet that I work with only goes to 50, and I didn’t write it. I can have less, but not more.

I’m not an Excel kinda person…

I’m starting the scoring now.

Hm, I think this is my second or third best showing ever. The Donna Summers song was the only one I lost significant points for, I think.

78

Yup. I should’ve gone with a Donna Summer hit* rather than my actual favorite Donna Summer song. Although I did actually think “Walking on Sunshine” would get at least one other mention.

  • Like, duh, the one that is my girlfriend’s ringtone on my phone (“Love to Love You, Baby”).
79

tied for 8? best showing in, like, for EVAH!
er, KneadToKnow? Katrina and the Waves recorded “Walking on Sunshine”

80

Woo hooo!
My first thought for 9 was Boys of Summer, but I couldn’t use that.
