Ohhh good guess but no. If I had stated London temperatures. Then maybe.

Was city heat the one with the Long barreled gun scene ? off to that well know video site. (yep. man that's an old film)

Burt Reynolds was married to Loni Anderson who starred in the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati. July is the warmest month in Cincinatti with a daily average temperature of 75.9 °F (24.4 °C).

Well you did ask "How would you link Burt Reynolds and the current period of high UK temperatures ?".

He was also in the 1986 film "Heat"

And the previous question was technically quoted wrong but...

Still not the answer I'm looking for. Your answer is kinda tenuous. However I will add a specific to help make it easier :/

It's a band or film.... now that's pretty specific and much much easier :)

You got it correct.

My multiple answers would be Boogie Nights (film) or Heatwave (band)

High UK temperatures = Heatwave and they sung the song Boogie Nights. Neatly linking up Burt.

Congrats the next question is yours

In all honesty I don't feel that I answered the question correctly so I will say "open floor".

Attached is a song that has been sped up to take a mere fifteen seconds. What is its title and who performed it?

Genesis, Land of Confusion.

I could swear I heard Phil's voice.

FYI I tried audacity to slow it down but it went all croaky and weird. What software did you use. (after someone gets the answer of course)

Unique :)

I might crack out some Phil tomorrow. If you haven't heard the Urban Renewal Album and you like his music it is well worth a listen. Modern(ish) artists with their take on some classic Phil Collins tunes.

Correct. I used Audacity to speed it up.

WOW ! I wasn't expecting that. I listened to it a few times and just recognized a few riffs and then I got the cadence of the tune.

My audacity couldn't slow it down but its not a program I use on a regular basis. It was actually better on full speed with headphones :)


Q. Who's simplicity included the price ?

Dunno about any rules on second guesses but feel free to have a second go :)

I'll wait until tomorrow in order to give others the chance to answer first. Incidentally, you have no idea how much that advertising jingle has been annoying me all day! :lol:

It was a random thought I had too. It just popped in and I couldn't shake it all day. When I got the Phil question right I knew it was a sign that I had to ask it

Showing my age tbh :oops:
