Oh snap, I'm disqualified for poor wording. I meant someone with the last name Smith, not a former member of the Smiths. My bad.

― Joe McCombs, Wednesday, 14 September 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

Q. Who was Will Smith?

I thought maybe Andy or Mike had played on a Sinead O'Connor smash.

I don't know that that is the answer, I was just guessing. "pop hit" might be a tip, at least I thought so.

― gspm (gspm), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 20:56 (twenty years ago)

It wouldn't surprise me that Will Smith is the right answer. Where's Joe McTrebek at?

duff mckagen?

this answer is totally completely and irreversibly NOT CORRECT. you must phrase your answer in the form of a question! and simply putting a question mark at the end of your statement doth not a question make!

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

Dr. Bill - I have no idea why I know that. I did read it somewhere and it somehow stuck with me. Funny how that brain cell lives while the ones that are supposed to be able to read maps and remember birthdays all died off so readily.
