Our Survey Said

A catchphrase from TV gameshow Family Fortunes. (The 15th best ever UK gameshow. Apparently)




Before the show 100 people would be asked to answer questions like "Name something you can plug in" and then in the show the contestants would have to guess what answers were most popular. The contestant would give an answer and the host would say "You said that rhubarb is something you can plug in. Our survey said..." and there would usually be a loud uhh-owww noise to indicate the stupidity of the answer.

Easy? Well this site contains some fantastically stupid answers given in the show - like name a number you have to memorise... "7".

I think that Our Survey Said would be just the name for a band who need to attract attention in the listings pages. It will be the single best thing about them.

I've long thought that Col. Kilgore's comment that 'Charlie Don't Surf' - from Apocalypse Now - would a great name for a punk band.

It is, and these people got there first!

It was also a Clash song title.
