(Doing the Sums 2009) Are You Joe Average?

The Bawley crew love the triple j Hottest 100, the only thing we love more than the Hottest 100 is our own (Doing the Sums) Are You Joe Average quiz. (2007, 2008, Hottest 100 of all time)

Here is how it works

1. Write out a list of the songs you voted for in the triplej Hottest 100.
2. Write down the position each of these came in the triplej Hottest 100
3. If a song did not make the list put down 101.
4. Add up the scores, and divide by the number of songs you voted for.
5. Post your results as a comment to this blog entry.

Here is how to interpret your score

1-13: Either you are the lovechild of Bernard Fanning and La Roux or you are actually Mumford’s Son.

14-27: Parlez Vous Austereo?

28-40: Very vanilla

41-52: "Meet Me on the Equinox" is your signature song in more ways than one.

53-65: Pretty pedestrian, but you probably have one weirdo friend who is rubbing off on you more than you realise.

66-77: Kinda quirky in a cute way.

78-89: Kinda quirky in a "slowly back away..." way.

90-100: You're a f***ing freak, man

101: Did you vote for songs, or flavours of ice cream????
