Nothing like no clue, no clue, no clue pop music start to feel hopeless no matter how the rest go. And the rest were pretty easy. But ptui to the first question.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Well I do know some of her songs. And loved her duets with Tony Bennett. I had no idea she was my height! (or should I say lack of ;) ), nor heard of the documentary. But I will check it out.

Oog.

Second guessed myself on the third question. The first one was too similar to another junk food question they had a few weeks ago. The last two were right up my alley.

We've discussed the inconsistency of alternate answers and misspelling. For the record for the last question Natty Bumpo was accepted, even though it would not work for the next two alternate questions.

For #1 I didn't fall for the answer I thought they were trying to get you to give on the first guess, then on the second guess I thought maybe that was it after all.

The first one should be familiar

(The third was annoying as they didn't take BEAKER as a valid answer.

Looking over your shoulder, I couldn't quite see what you got for #5.

I LOLed at the first one. For the third, a distinction I had forgotten, that's explained in the third hint, which I didn't get to, but saw in the reveal.
