No fuzzy matching, the titles/artists have to be exactly as the options in their list words, spaces, commas, brackets hyphens and all.

Always best to just select the answer, and the whole answer, from the guess list.

Original: Fail
Sixties: Two seconds
Seventies: Fail, and it is one of only two of his songs I like.
Eighties: Fail
Nineties: Fail
00s: Must have heard this somewhere but the singer and the song unknown to me.
New 00s. Not a hope.

Result
Falcon 4 Heardle 3

60's (2 secs); 70's (12 secs) not the "normal" version, which was a live version on the single, and the most well known; 80's (17 secs); Alt 00's (4 Secs)

The original today was yet another artist overly favoured in Heardleland recently.

Narrow victory again.
Falcon 4 Heardle 3

60's (17 secs); 70's (2 Secs); 80's (2 Secs); 90's (12 secs) .

Hit the post with the Alt 00's, nailed the artist but heardle didn't play ball with the guess list, or I spelt her name incorrectly...

Second result from France, - almost complete blow out!! Saved by a rather feeble 17 secs score for the 60s. :(
