Original: No hope. Awful.
Sixties: No. Vague familiarity.
Seventies: Fail
Eighties: Fail
Nineties: Two seconds
00s: Fail, complete unknown.
New 00s. As above.

I thought that the nineties one was earlier.

Bit of a banzai day for me for a change:

Original. 17 secs
60s. 2 secs
70s. 5 secs

And 4 fails

Nowhere near a Falcon or bobins performance but brilliant for a Maverick :-D

It must be a good day for the Maverick with a new record streak on Wordle, a bullseye on Worldle and two 3s on the nerdles!! :cd:

Newcastle Falcon 2 Heardle 5
Got the 60's straight away, nice to hear the tune again, and the 70's right at the end when the distinctive vocal came in. Didn't trouble the scorers on the rest
