Best University Challenge Question EVER 

Let me guess, you think it's the best question ever because you knew the answer?

that was a waste of 43 seconds

This makes me feel a lot better about not knowing the answers to all the questions on medieval poetry

Iggy Pop was an educated guess as Lust For Life is arguably the most famous/well known track from Trainspotting

@PINCHUNO i presume the uploader is a huge fan of either the song or the film... but this is just a guess :)

first guy obviously recognised it from Trainspotting, forgot the artist then Iggy Pop 'popped' into his head because the archetypal Trainspotting song is Lust for Life by Iggy Pop

Every British student in the 90s should be able to answer this within three seconds.

What was the point of posting this?

I need Jungle, I'm afraid.

Wow. That's quite a lot of dislikes. Harsh but fair I'd say. I cannot believe I just clicked on a YT link where suggested further click is: "Harshest Deal or No Deal Outcome Ever!!!" In fact, make me another dislike.

@smokebomb213 I know the song very well, just like i know many famous big hit pop songs, doesn't mean I know its fucking name or who "wrote" it. As if this has anything to do with being a nerd, its about musical taste.

The woman who answered was seriously beautiful/

I watched this when it was broadcast, I said the answer before they'd played the music! I mean British film 1996 what else could it be?

@NB32 But... but I get all those... and not the ones on modern music... *sniff*

@Oldfaithfullyours Luckily I'm not, but I still think its crap!

Why exactly is this the best question ever?.

Al-Hourani is shouting 'Lager! Lager! Lager!'

In what way is the best question ever? It's just a piece of pop trivia.

"Best questions ever"?....You need to get out more.....

@sams2471992 Skulduggery Pleasant by any chance?

@emperormiester No you didn't. No they didn't

@TheFlashands It really is.

typo....i think you meant worst question ever

I knew both answers as soon as he said 'British film 1996'!

*Don't even waste 44 seconds of your life*

Iggy Pop? AHAHHAHAHAAH

I can hardly contain myself 😏

@Soullight86 What's bad about it?

WTF!!!!! That was so easy.........

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? DISLIKE!

haha i knew it was gonna be underworld by trainspotting the second he said 1996

Just how was that question so good?

@geordiewright Underworld

Best question ever?? FFS

iggy pop? LOL

Bennett-Spragg, what a name.

@Bot23 hahahaha

Total junk

fucking tune.

lol Iggy Pop?

Calm down.

seriously*

@master1906 Yes I am. But not too sorry I hope. And at least I can go to sleep at the beginning of this new year knowing for a fleeting moment someone somewhere thought of me. Even if it were not for the good. Peace

iggy pop?

Lol

why?

Why?

real

@coolharry1236 Extremely well educated but socially lacking individuals are not weird... They are different.

@jimmy2k4o its not underworld by trainspotting, its born slippy by underworld from trainspotting...

Didn’t everyone not answer the question (correctly) before even hearing the sample?! Fascinating question indeed, most unusual phenomenon.

haha the only question i would ever get right on that show

I don't know who that is a reply to but it is sadly true that we British are humorless now......still, you've got to laugh haven't you.

i knew what the answer was when i read it in the comment section.

Dutch people from that age know Born Slippy as well. You just made me listen to it again.

Possibly the only question I have ever got right on this show

@sams2471992 I would rather say that music comes to me under a state of mind, a time of lonelyness, to let the anger go via agressive playability of my music but wotevah...

@properdumb What's he like?

Cheesemongers and Emporers Chambermaids disagree

@TheFlashands nooooo don't insult university challenge ;___;

@RationalConclusion I find it boring! I watch tv for entertainment.

She has double dropped to this one..

Lol Years later I still laugh at WTF thought this was the best UG Question

On another day (or if he hadn't fancied her, maybe) he wouldn't have accepted the answer as she gave the song title first.

o....k is this what uni students find hilarious.

i got that in 1 second, unlike these oxbridge types ha

Underworld - if you don;t know this you have missed the point of life.

I think a question that would stump them is "What is it like to have sexual intercourse?"

knew it was born slippy but couldnt think of the band name.

Remove the word 'Ever' and replace 'Best' with "A", and you'd have a much better rated (but less-viewed) video.

@DannyEnglish100 with an actual alive human being

All true Underworld fans will know the name of the song is actually "Born Slippy .NUXX" and not Born Slippy. Radio DJ's and music channels almost always refer to the song as Born Slippy because that is the name of the single, however it's not the actual track. "Born Slippy" which is just instrumental, is a completely unrelated track and sounds nothing like the famous NUXX track. However NUXX first appeard as the b side to Born Slippy in 1995. Here it is /watch?v=3Fr1x-N3-k8

people who go to oxford and cambridge do not have to be posh, that is a sterotype of those schools, yes it seems the most of them do appear 'posh' but not all of them are, i know you were not saying that all oxford or cambridge students are posh, but im just clearing up that notion of saying they are

Put your analyst on danger money baby.

What's closer to the Socratic method sorry?

What was the song called?

dude thought it was Iggy Pop smh

@TheFlashands It is. Very, very dull.

Coleman looks like simon amstell :P

She didn't even get it right??

North Korea brought me here.

@sams2471992 Tim Minchin reference. I approve aha

Underworld are amazing, true gods of Electronic Music

Ooer, popular culture? And the boffs go in to panic

lmfao

@sams2471992 Tim Minchin quote there! :)

@sams2471992 Nice Storm reference :-P

Reach for the Top.... British style

Hows it the best question?

AL QUATADA HAS OBVIOUSLY PARTIED HAHA

"...EVER"? Really?

Best answer ever**

Now in contemporary UC, this kind of music round is more of the norm than the outlier. There's just so much classical music out there that the question setters now have to expand to the non-classic but still academically relevant songs.

Well done al-hourani, the lil raver.

Well that was underwhelming

@TheFlashands it really is

@tazzi06 I understand!

HAHAHAHA

They were born silly
