I fixed the title to the SDG track, which has been wrong the entire game.  When they said Gimme Some Lovin’ they meant vote for The Lovin’ Spoonful, if that helps.  

[Sir Creep 7,016]

I can understand why someone might not care for Black is Black, but it baffles me what someone could possibly have against Gimme Some Lovin’.  I could see if your mother was murdered while playing a Hammond organ why you might be triggered, but that has to be a very small subset of humans, doesn’t it?

I'm sad Hole In My Shoe didn't make it, but I was clearly its only fan so it was always a lost cause.

[TQR 12,262]

Good good, that's the round! Decent choices, there. Soz, forgive me, I'll start a new round once I've familiarised the odd few songs on the list I don't know by name. 1968-69 coming up shortly!

[TQR 12,262]

Alright, alright facepalmists! I can see you're eager. I am, too. For the 00s, at this point. But we're in the last qualifier before the grand final, so there's light at the end of the tunnel an' all that.
