Bob Carney, founder of Stump! Trivia

If you've ever played team trivia at a bar around Boston, it was most likely put on by Stump! Trivia, a company that hosts events at bars every night of the week and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this June. Each game is run by one of Stump!'s many "trivia jockeys," who are known for playing good (and often obscure) tunes during trivia games. "All the TJ's have their own taste of music," says Stump! founder Bob Carney, 40. What's on Carney's iPod? We asked the trivia master to press shuffle:

1. "Darkness on the Edge of Town," Bruce Springsteen

2. "Christmas Wrapping," the Waitresses

3. "Only Time," Enya

4. "She Will Be Loved," Maroon 5

5. "Monkey Man," the Rolling Stones

6. "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted," Jimmy Ruffin

7. "My Adidas," Run DMC

8. "Memories Are Made of This," Johnny Cash

9. "Mambo No. 5," Lou Bega

10. "Accidents Will Happen," Elvis Costello

Total songs: 4,662

Surprised we didn't hear: A television theme song. "I have like every TV theme song that was ever produced on my iPod," he says. " 'Sanford and Son,' 'Miami Vice,' 'Knight Rider' - you name it."
