The 3rd theme of the evening was named "Wrong Title?" - 10 songs where I thought there was a fairly obvious alternate title:

Buffalo Springfield	For what it's worth
David Bowie	Space Oddity
T. Rex	Get it on
Three Dog Night	Joy to the world
Don MacLean	Vincent
Who	Baba O'Riley
Fleetwood Mac	Don't stop
Doobie Brothers	Long Train Running
Men Without Hats	Safety Dance
The Smiths	Panic

The alternative titles suggested by each were:

What's that sound?

Major Tom

Bang a gong

Jeremiah was a bullfrog

Starry starry night

Teenage Wasteland

Yesterday's gone

Without love

We can dance

Hang the DJ

We voted on each via a show of hands, with the alternative titles coming out best on 7 occasions. David Bowie, T. Rex and Three Dog Night were given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to keep their original titles.

The clock was starting to run against us and there was only time for one more theme, meaning that Singing Drummers was dropped from the line-up for the 4th time in a row! The last theme therefore was Guess the Label? and these were the tracks we played and the labels most associated with each of the artistes:

Otis Redding	I can't turn you loose	Stax
Procul Harum	Homburg	Regal Zonophone
Deep Purple	Black Night	Harvest
Jerry Lee Lewis	Chantilly Lace/Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On	Sun
Buzzcocks	Ever Fallen in Love	Rough Trade
Ian Dury & the Blockheads	Billericay Dickie	Stiff
Special AKA	Free Nelson Mandela	2-Tone
Bo Diddley	Bo Diddley	Chess

So that was it. The witching hour came and our chariots awaited. Just enough time for the traditional team photo:

The screen backdrop is, believe it or not, the Grants doing handstands on Elie beach just before Christmas.
