I think in future matches I might predict a few shocks. Everyone seems to be pretty much with the consensus on the early games. Probably because the home nations are invloved.

This is pure nostalgia When I was about 5 I was obsessed with this song and it is one of the few singles we had in the house. The same with Carl Douglas I had a pair of pyjamas with Chinese characters on (previously mentioned) which I got because of Kung Fu Fighting. I sulked when they were in the wash. I am indulging myself in the early rounds. This selection will get brutal later on

Looks like he is waiting for a big gig next month, if the elves have wrapped all the presents by then

All teams will have to submit a substitute in each category who will be brought into play in case anyone is found to be dead before the game begins

Final scores for those who are counting

The best way of keeping Tom Baker alive?

Blockbuster Metal Guru Rubber Bullets Get Down Eye Level

Of the five songs I picked out at the beginning of the round it looks like only one will make it through to the next round and that is The Sweet

There is the comfort in picking something at random and getting success against the embarrassment of your pet subject coming up and totally failing to hit the mark

After teetering on the brink for so long we have a Winner Congratulations to @RoverAndOut who gets three unique hits to get over the line with the demise of Star Trek pick John Aniston. This is a second victory for Rover so is clearly the Top Dog I await your selections for game V and will set a time scale for entries when I open the thread

There is a motorsport thread

I would prefer it if you could name a specific sport that you do not think is covered because if there is a "sport" thread then it will lead to ambiguity whether the sports that have their own threads should be double posted The one that might justify its own thread and as far as I can see is not already covered would be Track and Field athletics but this would overlap somewhat with the Summer Olympics thread

Which sports do you think would need to be included? You may find some hostility towards creating what some may consider to be unnecessary threads

There are quite a few for specific sports such as Football, Baseball, cricket, Rugby and even sailing. There is also a thread for Olympic medal winners. If you are in doubt where to put something then the Dead of 2022 for people who are actually dead or Ideas and Possibilities for people where new health information has come to light. In each case someone will soon come along and helpfully identify which thread might be most appropriate
