How to run this round

This round is at its best played loud: play the first ten seconds of each song and ask the question over the top, and the room will sing the answer before anyone writes it down. The second half adds more Britpop and UK pop, so a British crowd in their forties will clean up. For a younger room, swap in the 2000s film round instead.
