I might have worded that differently if I'd known that I'd be in hospital
about 3 days from then. (I'm out now.)
What's more, when I posted this question set, I was feeling
sick enough that I rushed through the process, and proceeded to
not notice that I was posting the questions from the wrong file.
As it says below, these questions were actually from Game 4, played
on 2012-05-28, and not Game 3, from 2012-05-14, as per original
subject line.
And on top of that, when posting the results from the second set of
Game 3 questions, I failed to add in the scores from the third set.
Here are the scores from Game 3 as they should have appeared, and we
will continue with this game next.
GAME 3 ROUNDS-> 2 3 4 6 TOTALS
TOPICS-> His Lit Can Spo
Joshua Kreitzer 32 40 2 24 98
Dan Blum 32 40 2 12 86

Dan Tilque 28 20 7 20 75
Pete Gayde 12 24 0 22 58
Erland Sommarskog 12 11 -- -- 23
And now, the answers from the question set that I did post:
> * Game 4, Round 7 - Entertainment - 1 Word, 1 Song, Many Artists
> This round is about *different songs with the same one-word title*.
> We're not talking about covers or different versions of a song, but
> about completely different tunes that simply share the same name.
> In each case we will list the date and the artist who recorded
> each of the different songs, and you must simply give the shared
> one-word title. (All but one of the songs made Billboard's Hot
> 100 or another genre chart.)
