Among the highlights were the guests having to guess the identities of a Weeknd and Lenny Kravitz song played on sitar by Melbourne-based David Balaban and table player Aman, while Garcia was roped in to simultaneously tap dance and play kazoo to Scissor Sisters’ I Don’t Feel Like Dancing.

Sydney radio presenter Brendan Jones got a perfect score on Big Riffs while Nicodemou admitted to being such a massive Kylie Minogue tragic that she had 365 Kylie posters, bought each of her records and wrote fan letters to the singer every week.
