Original: Three seconds.
60's Heardle: Fail. One word right, everything else wrong.
70's Heardle: Fail. Knew the voice but not the song.
80's Heardle: Fail, should have known this, didn't. When I saw who it was I wasn't surprised. Cover by someone I ignore.
90's Heardle: Knew it after ten seconds. Fail, not what I had thought.
00's Heardle: Don't know it, don't want to either.
Alternative 00's:As above.

I came close to a complete wipeout on the heardles but saved by the absolutely classic 60s which I recognised in the first second, and who wouldn't? :-D

Almost the same, as usual,
Original: Fail
Sixties: Two seconds. First note anyway.
Seventies: Fail.
Eighties: Fail
Nineties: Two seconds.
00s: Fail. Dreadful :(
New 00s. Another abject fail. Not sorry.

A disappointing 12 secs on the 60s today as a result of the prolonged drum intro. But made up for it with 3 secs on the 70s.

The rest were the usual blank! :-D

Falcon 3 Heardle 4

60's (17 secs); 70's (3 Secs); 90's (17 secs). Hit the post with the 80's got the artist but thought it was a different song, which turned out to be very similar in the intro, and a cover of a song which I previously thought was her own composition.

What is unique about Morecombe Bay Jetty Rail Station? I wonder how many people know this without looking it up? (I certainly did not know).

Dont know James. Without looking it up, Morecambe is quite famous for its Midland Hotel. maybe there is some direct link with the station?

Nor me without digging, I have recollection of them buiding a hovercraft station for the RNLI but I don't know if it ever materialised or if it involved a jetty? :-D
