[Pirez]

What in the unholy name of perpetual balkan infighting is a liberland?

[Rsandee]

What in the unholy name of perpetual balkan infighting is a liberland?

Some Czech libertarian founded a "sovereign state" on some unclaimed land along the Danube between Croatia and Serbia, which was only unclaimed because the trajectory of the Danube changed shape slightly over the course of centuries.

[DaveRattlehead]

They're 7, but PluM is correct

[PluMGMK]

So there are seven. I thought it used to be seven before Kosovo seceded, but I couldn't think of another. Guess my memories of numbers are getting mixed up again!

[dr_st]

Name the song and the artist.

Darude - Sandstorm
(sorry, couldn't resist)

[DaveRattlehead]

Name the song and the artist.

Darude - Sandstorm

I wish I could count it as correct. It would ruin my reputation as a gamemaster... Or maybe not?

[DaveRattlehead]

Do I have to change the question so that the answer is Darude - Sandstorm?

[Rsandee]

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

[DaveRattlehead]

I know someone who might know the answer, but that definitely would be unfair to the competition... But hey, at least we could move on to question 9 without me forcing the answer to be a meme song

[Master]

It sounds very 80s but I couldn't narrow it down further than that in honesty.

[DaveRattlehead]

The song was released in 1985, and it's from the Italo Disco genre...

Of course, the musician is Italian, but his artistic name isn't.

[Rsandee]

Ooh I think I know some lore about this song but that's about it. Isn't it that Italian song that mimicked American songs? Like the guy is speaking a fake form of gibberish, disguising it as English?

[DaveRattlehead]

Mmm maybe I'm missing something but I don't think so. Actually, the lyrics (in English) make sense.

[dr_st]

Do I have to change the question so that the answer is Darude - Sandstorm?

Is this question it itself worth points?

[DaveRattlehead]

At this point, I don't see it as a bad option
I will definitely change the question in 24 hours if no one knows the answer

[DaveRattlehead]

I was going to try with a history-related question, but I'll go with this one about sports since it can be easier (and hopefully it can motivate you more )
