14/15 only cause I guessed wrong on Seductive Barry which, if I'm being honest, is a song I skip a lot.......

 Exactly the same, and the choices for Seductive Barry were a lot more similar to one another than the rest.

I got Seductive Barry wrong as well but I didn't feel too bad 'cos if you can get the devilishly difficult MLG lyric then I think you're doing alright.

I think we ALL got Seductive Barry wrong! To the extent that I kind of want to listen to the record to check. Could it be an example of that rare thing, a typo on PulpWiki?!

14/15. Thought it was easy until I got to Seductive Barry. Chose "your" instead of "I'm"

See, there are benefits to loving all the songs other people dislike!

The MLG line (no spoilers, or has everyone who is going to done it already?) was the one that leapt out at me from first hearing and formed the basis for my whole interpretation of the song, until I found out it was a last second improvisation. I assumed because of this that the whole song was a dream, starting as it does in a bedroom and being a generally weird and disjointed.

I was the same, but we're a bit peculiar that way I reckon. I wondered how many casual fans could possibly get that lyric correct since it comes completely out of left field.

I really like how Jarvis stutters ever so slightly when saying that line, as if to say "what the hell am I doing?!" :)

Bloody Seductive Barry! 14/15

I love the idea of a song lyric being "Do you believe in man-made climate change associated with carbon emissions?"

On This Is Glastonbury it is "you're not going home tonight.", if that helps. I was sure, so I checked them both (accidentally! The glasto one came up first in media player)

So aye, I got 14/15.

I don't DISLIKE seductive barry so much as it's 8+ minutes long and I just haven't got the patience for it most of the time. plus the whole album goes kind of downhill after that track imo.

I slipped up on Seductive Barry too, glad I don't seem to be the only one!
