Question 1 of 10

1. Welcome to the second of the 'Blank My Blanking Blank' quizzes! Same principle applies, just blank my blanks, and make a blanking good job of it!
Here to open, we have the king of the tubular bells, Mike Oldfield. Please, blank my blanking blanks.

'Four a.m. in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
I watched your vision forming, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Star was glowin' in a silvery night, far away on the other side,
Will you [blankety blank blank], but she couldn't find how to push through...'
Hint

'... help me out of my eternal fight...'

'... come and talk to me this night...'

'... take me away from all of my hate...'

'... show me the way to Amarillo...'

Question 2 of 10

2. She's one of those people who left 'Neighbours' in order to try for a successful pop career, and unlike Jason Donovan, she actually pulled it off! With hits like 'Shiver' and 'That Day', can you blank Natalie's blanking blank?

'I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is [blank]
You're a little late, I'm already [blank].'

Blank those two blanks. It's also the name of the song, if that's any help to any of you quiz-takers. Hint

'Lost'

'Torn'

'Gone'

'Born'

Question 3 of 10

3. Long before the Cranberries came this band, Ireland's greatest export (except potatoes and Eurovision winners). With songs like 'Beautiful Day' and 'One', can you blank my blanking blank for this U2 hit?

'Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

[Blankety blank blank] when I look in the mirror
[Blankety blank blank] when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own'
Hint

'It's always hard...'

'It makes them angry...'

'Please forgive me...'

'And it's you...'

Question 4 of 10

4. We're moving back into the mid-eighties here, with a song by those Sister Sledge girls. It's a bit of a selfish choice here, since it's one of my favourite shameful pop songs, but please. Make me smile, and blank my blanking blank for 'Frankie'.

'He looked at me and then I blushed
Cause I remembered I loved you so much
Way back then we were friends
Going together but [blankety blank blank]
Frankie - do you remember me?
Frankie - do you remember?'
Hint

'... then you left me...'

'... we fell out of love...'

'... our parents got involved...'

'... I had to go...'

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. This was the first and only song released from Youssou N'Dour's album 'The Guide' in the United Kingdom, and also had the singing talents of Neneh Cherry on the track. Though it never made number one, the song has had good airplay since its release, so that could make it easier for you to blank these blanking blanks.

'And when a child is born into this world
He has no concept of the tone of skin he's living in
It's not a second, [blank] seconds away
Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting'

How many seconds would blank this blanking blank?

Answer: (A Number)

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. While this was a hit in the late 80s, when it was rehashed by Kristian Leontiou in 2004, the song didn't even break the top 20. Can you blank the blanking blanks in this deep, almost baritone Tracy Chapman classic?

'You got a [blankety blank]
But is it fast enough that you can drive away
You gotta make a decision
You gotta leave tonight, or live and die this way'

Is the missing lyric also the title of this 1980s hit? Could you actually fill in the blank with the lyric 'Fast Car'?

Yes

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. This song, from Lush and Jarvis Cocker, is the story of a couple who have broken up, and is sung (unusually for a Britrock number) in a duet between Jarvis and Miki. Can you blank both of my blanking blanks this time?

Jarvis:
'I must have been crazy to have stayed with you
I can't believe I thought I was in love with you
But now the scales have fallen, I can really see
And I say [blankety blank blank], 'cos that's where you took me'

Miki:
'Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door
You always cramped my style, I never noticed before
It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop
I can't believe I fell for such a [blankety blank blank]' Hint

'..."pack your bags"...absolute fool...'

'..."go to hell"... loser like you...'

'..."get out on the streets"... arrogant dude...'

'..."just drop dead'... unbearable prude...'

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. This, the second of the Britpop/Britrock bands from the 1990s in this quiz, had several hits in the United Kingdom, and their album 'Different Class' is one of the most critically acclaimed records of the Britpop movement. With Jarvis Cocker and Candida Doyle, can you blank my blanking blanks and name the song at the same time?

'But still you'll never get it right
Cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching 'roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad you could stop it all
You'll never live like [blankey blank]
You'll never do whatever [blankety blank] do' Hint

'Precious Things'

'Mis-Shapes'

'Common People'

'Angels'

Question 9 of 10

9. Tori Amos is a strange one by anyone's reckoning. With songs such as 'Hey Jupiter' and 'Hello Mr Zebra', she's been entertaining the world since the late 80s, when she went under her real name of Ellen Amos. Blank her blanking blanks, why not?

Givin' us the yo heave ho'

1. Welcome to the second of the 'Blank My Blanking Blank' quizzes! Same principle applies, just blank my blanks, and make a blanking good job of it! Here to open, we have the king of the tubular bells, Mike Oldfield. Please, blank my blanking blanks. 'Four a.m. in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadow, I watched your vision forming, carried away by a moonlight shadow, Star was glowin' in a silvery night, far away on the other side, Will you [blankety blank blank], but she couldn't find how to push through...'

Answer: '... come and talk to me this night...'

This is the third verse from Mike's second most famous piece of music 'Moonlight Shadow', which can be found on the 1985 release, "The Complete Mike Oldfield". This song is like very little Mike has released, as most of his albums contain one or two pieces of instrumental, and this is one of his only pieces of lyrical music.

2. She's one of those people who left 'Neighbours' in order to try for a successful pop career, and unlike Jason Donovan, she actually pulled it off! With hits like 'Shiver' and 'That Day', can you blank Natalie's blanking blank? 'I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed into something real I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is [blank] You're a little late, I'm already [blank].' Blank those two blanks. It's also the name of the song, if that's any help to any of you quiz-takers.

Answer: 'Torn'

Both Natalie Imbruglia and Kylie Minogue have enjoyed fantastic pop careers off the back of 'Neighbours', while Jason Donovan and Holly Valance had one major hit and then ground to a halt, with no further hit songs. With her new album 'Counting Down the Days', the honey-moon period doesn't appear to be over yet for Ms. Imbruglia.

Incidentally, the British viewers of VH1 voted 'Torn' to be one of the best singles never to reach number one in the U.K.

3. Long before the Cranberries came this band, Ireland's greatest export (except potatoes and Eurovision winners). With songs like 'Beautiful Day' and 'One', can you blank my blanking blank for this U2 hit? 'Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone [Blankety blank blank] when I look in the mirror [Blankety blank blank] when I don't pick up the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own'

Answer: 'And it's you...'

'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own', like 'One' and 'Stuck In A Moment' is one of U2's few ballads that have broken the top 20 in the United Kingdom. This particular track is from the album 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'. Released in 2005, this song marked another success for Bono, who is in fact named after a hearing-aid shop in his home town, 'Bonovox'.

4. We're moving back into the mid-eighties here, with a song by those Sister Sledge girls. It's a bit of a selfish choice here, since it's one of my favourite shameful pop songs, but please. Make me smile, and blank my blanking blank for 'Frankie'. 'He looked at me and then I blushed Cause I remembered I loved you so much Way back then we were friends Going together but [blankety blank blank] Frankie - do you remember me? Frankie - do you remember?'

Answer: '... then you left me...'

It spent four weeks in the number one spot in the United Kingdom, and even though it isn't their most well known song, it was their only UK release that ever hit the top spot. Of course, when you mention Sister Sledge, people will always remember the 70's disco number with the terrible video - sad, as it was far from their most popular song.

5. This was the first and only song released from Youssou N'Dour's album 'The Guide' in the United Kingdom, and also had the singing talents of Neneh Cherry on the track. Though it never made number one, the song has had good airplay since its release, so that could make it easier for you to blank these blanking blanks. 'And when a child is born into this world He has no concept of the tone of skin he's living in It's not a second, [blank] seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting' How many seconds would blank this blanking blank?

Answer: 7

Youssou N'Dour, the famous Senegalese singer/songwriter, has released 21 albums between 1984 and 2005, and first popularised Senegalese music in Africa, which is known as 'mbalax' in Wolof. As well as starring in three of the 'Live 8' concerts in 2005 (at London, Paris, and the Eden Project), Youssou has also opened his own recording studio, named 'Xippi', as well as his own record label, called 'Jololi'.

6. While this was a hit in the late 80s, when it was rehashed by Kristian Leontiou in 2004, the song didn't even break the top 20. Can you blank the blanking blanks in this deep, almost baritone Tracy Chapman classic? 'You got a [blankety blank] But is it fast enough that you can drive away You gotta make a decision You gotta leave tonight, or live and die this way' Is the missing lyric also the title of this 1980s hit? Could you actually fill in the blank with the lyric 'Fast Car'?

Answer: Yes

From Tracy's debut, self titled album, this song became one of her two big hits (the other being 'Baby Can I Hold You', which was also unceremoniously covered by Boyzone.) The song never got to number one, unfortunately, but Tracy's success was on the rise - she eventually played at Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday party, and although her popularity in the States waned between 1989 and 1995, her song 'Give Me One Reason' won the 1996 Grammy for 'Best Rock Song'.

7. This song, from Lush and Jarvis Cocker, is the story of a couple who have broken up, and is sung (unusually for a Britrock number) in a duet between Jarvis and Miki. Can you blank both of my blanking blanks this time? Jarvis: 'I must have been crazy to have stayed with you I can't believe I thought I was in love with you But now the scales have fallen, I can really see And I say [blankety blank blank], 'cos that's where you took me' Miki: 'Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door You always cramped my style, I never noticed before It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop I can't believe I fell for such a [blankety blank blank]'

Answer: '..."go to hell"... loser like you...'

Miki Berenyi and Jarvis Cocker, there, having a go at each other. Lush as a band were big in the 90s, although never got as popular as Pulp ever did. Their albums, 'Lovelife', 'Split', 'Spooky', and 'Scar' did however make an impact in America, as Lush appeared in the 'Lollapalooza 1992' tour along with such bands as the Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden.

The band itself lasted for ten years, from 1988-1998, and although Miki Berenyi was never meant to be the original singer (Meriel Barham was the first singer, but left almost immediately), she ended up being the lead vocalist for the band for nine years.

8. This, the second of the Britpop/Britrock bands from the 1990s in this quiz, had several hits in the United Kingdom, and their album 'Different Class' is one of the most critically acclaimed records of the Britpop movement. With Jarvis Cocker and Candida Doyle, can you blank my blanking blanks and name the song at the same time? 'But still you'll never get it right Cos when you're laid in bed at night Watching 'roaches climb the wall If you called your Dad you could stop it all You'll never live like [blankey blank] You'll never do whatever [blankety blank] do'

Answer: 'Common People'

Pulp, who were the only competition for Blur until Oasis came along, split up in the early 2000s, and since then, Jarvis has gone on to front his own band called 'Relaxed Muscle', and former guitarist Richard Hawley has gone on to produce an album with American artist Erin Moran, who also goes under the guise of 'A Girl Called Eddy'.

9. Tori Amos is a strange one by anyone's reckoning. With songs such as 'Hey Jupiter' and 'Hello Mr Zebra', she's been entertaining the world since the late 80s, when she went under her real name of Ellen Amos. Blank her blanking blanks, why not? 'Never was a [blank] girl Thought it was a good solution Hangin' with the [blank] girls Goin' to the other side Givin' us the yo heave ho' Which two edible items can blank these blanks?

Answer: Cornflakes and raisins

The song 'Conflake Girl' is possibly Tori's most well known, and was featured on the albums 'Under the Pink', and 'Tales of a Librarian'. She's odd, she's esoteric, and somehow, she was even her high school prom queen. Born Myra Ellen Amos, Tori went by the stage name of Ellen Amos until someone told her she 'didn't look like an Ellen.

More like a Tori...' Her first album, 'Y Kan't Tori Read?', which was light on interesting musical content and riffs, but had very good lyrics, is now scarce, and worth a lot of money to collectors.

10. This Swedish band (named after a piece of knit-wear) has released albums named after British soap operas and computer games, and the lead singer Nina Persson has also released her solo album using the name 'A-Camp'. Can you blanking my blanking blank, again? 'I wonder what it's like, seeing through your eyes You've offered me to have a try, but I was always late The filters that I use give me an excuse I take away what's real, I feel it, and it [blankety blank blank]

Answer: '... blows my fuse...'

The song in this question is the strangely electronic 'Hang Around', from the album 'Gran Turismo', which stands out on the album for the 50 second instrumental ending. The other album mentioned in the question is 'Emmerdale', their first album which was released in 1994, and since then, the band have had UK hits with 'My Favourite Game', 'Erase/Rewind', and 'Lovefool'. 'Lovefool' is, by a long stretch, the Cardigan's most famous song, as it was used in 'Romeo and Juliet', starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
