Sigh. I thought Jackie Robinson would be the SHEEP and Level 42 would be a singleton.

Re: TD 462 - Short TD -- Scores Through Q5
Yes, those of us sporty types outsmarted ourselves here. Now I'm almost disappointed that I used a drop later in the game, just to see how close I could come to the all-sheep line, while still answering all questions correctly!

Re: TD 462 - Short TD -- Scores Through Q5
I told my husband I had never heard of the song or the group, and he was miffed. "But it was everywhere!" He tried to hum it, but that rang no bells for me. He found a video on YouTube, and when I said "that's enough--I can't stand it," he was genuinely offended.
