miamisammy29 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Question B - Bob Geldof or Billy Idol, maybe? :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Question A: Jeff Buckley Question B: John Lennon A DOUBLE - YOLKER! CONGRATULATIONS X 2 ELVISH. A. The late Jeff Buckley it was. Hard to believe it's nearly 8 years since his death. B. John Lennon on Issues # 74 January 21 1971 and #75 (with Yoko) February 4 1971 . This question was courtesy of jr. but he did NOT SAY the "mid-eighties", which would have been Issues numbered 400+. That was completely MY ERROR and I apologise for any inconvenience caused. The points stand though: 5 to Elvish and 2 to edna. Thanks to Sammy and Uncle for participating. Sorry I misled you! We might have to make it that everyone gets a point for actually getting into the thread. Funny how it's gotten slowwwwer since the GREEN DEATH . I'm all for advertising, but if that is what's slowing the Site down - well, you can advertise all you want, but it's useless if there's no one there to see it !

Elvish Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 A DOUBLE - YOLKER! CONGRATULATIONS X 2 ELVISH. A. The late Jeff Buckley it was. Hard to believe it's nearly 8 years since his death. B. John Lennon on Issues # 74 and #75 (with Yoko), 1985. This question courtesy of jr. I thought the "mid-eighties" would be tricky, but you and edna (gets 2 points)both knew it. Wow! I was pretty certain about the Jeff Buckley one, but Lennon was a wild guess. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Just checking the Queen of Hearts thing: apparently Agnetha had a solo hit with a song by the same name, but I don't think ABBA ever recorded it. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Answer is: All had songs about playing cards, and the 3 songs are: Queen of Hearts ~ Juice Newton The Winner Takes It All - ABBA The Lonesome Loser - Little River Band There's no reference to playing cards in "Night Owl". How about I make it 3 Points each? Does that sound fair? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlabr Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 More than fair, OLD 55! Night Owl had lyrics with the word heart and i interpreted it (to fit the question as a suit of cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish, well done on "John Lennon", but I made a mess of the question. I don't know if you read my amended post? (Points still count of course!).

OLD 55 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Wild Cherry? WELL DONE LAURIE! That didn't last long. Yes, Wild Cherry it was, whose one big hit was "Play That Funky Music", #1 for 3 weeks in 1976. I've amended your points in the Table in my previous post above!

_jr_ Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm going to guess Brewer and Shiply, even though I've never heard of a cough drop by that name. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Good on you Laurie! jr, Brewer & Shipley sound like Lawyers! They had a great top 10 hit in 1971 with "One Toke Over The Line", a semi-gospel song on which Jerry Garcia played guitar. NEW QUESTION Sorry, I had to go out for a couple of hours! WHO's THE FAMOUS GROUP? Formed in late 60s, very short lived.

OLD 55 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Teetotalling Ladies' Lament. "Oh he has kisses sweeter than wine But lips that touch liquor Shall never touch mine". Kevin, I have been a teetotaller for about 20 years. The Organisation I worked for gave me stomach trouble. I should have sued the rotten Bs for "inability to have a beer". I wonder if they ever had that "Watch Your Back" sign made that I suggested? Or the two hatracks with white and black hats? In the movies when I was a kid, the goodies always wore white hats and the baddies wore black ones. It could have worked in the office too!
