Uncle Joe Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 THEN we can say, ONYA ENYA ! (Onya means "Good On You" in the Land Down Under). Of course here in the good ole USA it means something entirely different and totaly better. Question A: If not The BeeGees then it could be either Elvis, The Beatles or CSN&Y. Question B: None ever had a number 1 hit in Japan. Kevin told me so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Question A - Olivia Newton-John? Question B - ...Olivia Newton-John?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Jim Gordon played drums for all of them? I know he did for solo Beatles albums and also with Bread... as Manfred Mann were Beatles´friends guess he could have played with some of their members too...

bazooka Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Jesus H.Christ!! I finally got back on the Songfacts Bucking Bronco. First, bazooka - sorry if I jumped down your throat yesterday. Kevin says you're a good guy and were probably joking with me! Tense Times on the Site at present, I think. Boy, that Kevin is easily bamboozled. But to get nice and serious (just one thing ... bazooka never does nothing nice and serious), there is something in my dysfunctional upbringing that won't let me pass up an opportunity to razz somebody. (My comment about the Ritchie Family being "Australian faves" was likewise a "joke" -- lost in translation, it appears.) I suppose bazooka could use the Graemlins to telegraph his intent, but we seriously hate every damn one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I thought you were serious about the Ritchie Family. We really liked "Best Disco In Town", but forgot them after. I liked disco. I see what you mean - I just got dropped out again. :: ........................................................... Nobody's gotten the answers to the Current Questions yet. We'll have a look at them again in a moment (Songfacts permitting).

Elvish Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hey, 55! I'm still hanging in there - just having a hard time getting on the site like everyone else. And I knew that Garth Brooks one!!:: Here are my guesses for the current ones A: Abba or Rod Stewart B: They all recorded at Abbey Road Studios?

OLD 55 Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 This is just RIDICULOUS! A post I put on before has DISAPPEARED. It was to welcome Elvish and enquire about her progress and also to say WELL DONE ELVISH! Rod Stewart is correct for Question A. "Maggie May" (1971) and "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" (1978) were his #1s in all three of the U.S., U.K. and Australia. (I don't know about Japan). The updated points are shown below.

_jr_ Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 How come Jesus H. Christ only gets a single underline, when all the others get two? That's top notch, bazooka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlabr Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Wow, i should get a point for just logging on to the site! (just kidding) After rereading question B, I realize I have not been looking for the right answer. Keyword is "singles"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I think you're right. SONGFARCE is the worst it's ever been. What was Question B ? "What do these 3 Bands have in common?" I think. Bread Beatles Manfred Mann The answer is in the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 B: Each group had a hit single with the word "if" in 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 How about: Beatles - Come Together Bread - Come Again Manfred Mann - Come Tomorrow It's probably too simplistic an answer, but I'm taking a shot anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 How come Jesus H. Christ only gets a single underline, when all the others get two? Strange? When I clicked on it, THIS came up.

OLD 55 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 How about: Beatles - Come Together Bread - Come Again Manfred Mann - Come Tomorrow I think I'll have to pay that answer! I didn't specify that the songs had to be Singles, and I just checked on "Come Again" and find it's an Album Track from "Manna". SO 5 Points to you Elvish! :coolio:CONGRATULATIONS!!! .......................................................... My original answer was that they all have Songs about BOOKS ! Beatles - " Paperback Writer" Bread - "The Diary" Manfred Mann - "My Little Red Book" ...........................................................
