Song Titles

Ten questions, not especially hard - you must guess the song title from the clue. The name of the band is either expressly stated or hinted at in the clue also.

One caveat - no multiple guesses - one shot, if you're wrong, you're shut out of the question!

1) Ian and the boys after drinking the Mexican water? Spaz with "Something's On The Move"
2) Playing the Fool's (Down & Out) leering advances at Gilmour and Waters' girlfriends? Bob, with "Young Lust"
3) Those are some lucky boulders you have there Mr. Gabriel!Jim - "Seven Stones"
4) Aww Fish take these diamonds back to the jeweler - they don't tell the truth! Jim, with "Emerald Lies"
5) A power trio from Canada, singing about another diminutive three-piece power trio from Canada? Bob, with "One Little Victory"
6) Benjamin Franklin flies a kite in Kansas? Spaz with "Lightning's Hand"
7) British jam band, after taking a few hits, makes a flap over a Christmas present? Bob with "A Gift of Wings"
8) Fore, Mr. Sinclair! It's a female! Keith, with "Golf Girl"
9) Four of the most tragic words Mr. Shulman could say to a listener of this station (except for "The Bar Is Closed")?
Jim, with "The Moon Is Down"
10) Somnambulent thoughts by Keithie about a four-legged version of Kate? yesspaz, with "And Dream of Sheep"

I'll take a page from Jam Forte's book and post the correct answers at the top of the post.

Have fun!

Bob L. - 3
Keith -1
Jim - 3
Yesspaz - 3

A shot on course.

8) Golf girl - Caravan

That was a taster........I've got 6 others too but as I'm going to be absent for ages I'll pass

Good questions Rick.

too easy?

I was considering not giving up the band names, but I'm not fit enough to prolong it..


Good ones Jim! You are correct on both!

a couple are easy, but I'm not clear where you're going on a couple either. 3 is Genesis - Seven Stones...

OK as Jim's heading out I'll chip in another......

#5 - A power trio from Canada, singing about another diminutive three-piece power trio from Canada?

Rush - YYZ

The only reason I think this is that I seem to remember that YYZ are a Rush Tribute Band.

score two for the late shift!

I will summarize in the next post since the rules are a bit complicated:

Yesspaz gets two of the harder ones - excellent job on the Tull and Kansas, which are indeed correct! Nice going!!!

However, the Rush is incorrect - rendering you and Keith ineligible for that one

As for the Kate, although it is not correct, it is a good guess, I'll keep you in on that one....there's more to the clue...

These six have been correctly guessed:


1) Ian and the boys after drinking the Mexican water? Spaz with "Something's On The Move"
3) Those are some lucky boulders you have there Mr. Gabriel!Jim - "Seven Stones"
4) Aww Fish take these diamonds back to the jeweler - they don't tell the truth! Jim, with "Emerald Lies"
6) Benjamin Franklin flies a kite in Kansas? Spaz with "Lightning's Hand"
8) Fore, Mr. Sinclair! It's a female! Keith, with "Golf Girl"
9) Four of the most tragic words Mr. Shulman could say to a listener of this station (except for "The Bar Is Closed")?
Jim, with "The Moon Is Down"

Score is:

Keith -1
Jim - 3
Yesspaz - 2

Yesspaz and Keith are no longer eligible for #5.

For the tie!

at the same time I was posting the recap, in comes spaz, with the Kate answer!

Since you were on the same record and you picked a four-legged creature, I cut you some slack, and gave you a second guess.

2 5 and 7

are left (see first post).

Jim 3
Spaz 3
Keith 1

#2 I thought would be easy, #5 a bit, and #7 is tough.

Remember to take the clues literally, I have no real deception on this quiz this time
