Boss jackpot tonight is at the Brass Monkey Leith, the pub where legends are made and men are women and men are men and women are women and women are men.

Or something.

What’s certain is that me and the staff at the Monkey care about your every need.

Forever.

That’s the kind of pub it is.

Big winner at the Argyle last week of £210 – so some sort of normality returns to Kerry’s quiz in Marchmont. Wherever you find yourself tonight – remember to make it funky!

Here are the cheat:

Cheats

First is a piece of classic chaqrt hip hop by Artis Leon Ivey Jr. – o to give him his stage name: Coolio.

Coolio, being classic

That’s the kind of thing you play in the pub and it immediately causes at least ten people to exclaim “tune” and the heads start bouncing. It’s been like that since it was a hit.

Meanwhile, the music round cheat for the Argyle Bar is some tremendous old American mania by a highly influential band from the 1970s: The New York Dolls.

It boasts quite literally the greatest pop video ever made, and a clear inspiration for Michael Jackson’s Thriller which came later:

Solid Seventies Proto-Punk Action

Great stuff. Foreshadowing the Cramps, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones and all kinds. Morrissey was a big fan of the New York Dolls, ran the UK Fan Club – but you probably already knew that.

So get your rock on and get to the pub. Sometimes that’s all that matters.

See ya later,

Dr Paul
