We're back... and that's a fack, Jack!
Hi, everybody! Remember us from last year?
We're those lovable Jennifer Aniston and
Adam Sandler look-alikes, Nick and
Audrey Spitz, stars of the hit Netflix
original movie Murder Mystery.
As you can see, we're still playing detective, examining
clues and trying to figure out who did the dastardly deed -
Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard or Mrs. Peacock.
While we try to solve our case, let's play another round of Whodunit.
Remember the rules? We'll give you the titles of 7 hit records along
with some additional clues. See if you can tell us Whodunit - who
is the artist, group or band that recorded the song?
