Addictedtoclassic Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 A: I have no idea what they have in common other than being relatively short and Massachusettes is spelled wrong. B: Is David Bowie Welsh? If so, that's my guess for the singer, but not a clue on what song it is.
miamisammy29 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Question A: - Aside from the Beatles work, these two songs were the only ones to reach Number One under manager Brian Epstein. Question B: - "Girl Talk" by Dave Edmunds
edna Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 Question A: - Aside from the Beatles work, these two songs were the only ones to reach Number One under manager Brian Epstein. sammy, Brian Epstein was also the manager of the Bee Gees? ::
OLD 55 Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 WHAT A SHAME that the Competition has been spoilt by the site going so slow. It's just taken me 10 minutes to get into this thread. .Question B: - "Girls Talk" by Dave Edmunds WELL DONE SAMMY ! THAT'S THE ONE. Dave Edmunds is probably best known for his cover of the old Smiley Lewis song "I Hear You Knocking". 5 POINTS to you and 1 to Addict for participating. :guitar: QUESTION A (CURRENT): What do these songs written and performed by the Bee Gees have in common: "Massachusetts" and "I Started A Joke"??? No joy there. CLUE: Listen to the Songs, not the Lyrics.
OLD 55 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Posted February 1, 2005 Well the site seems better now. Our European friends have missed out though, as it was down in their waking hours. Thank you very much to whoever rated this thread a 5. POINTS NOW ( INCLUDES *1 PARTICIPATION POINT FOR THE CURRENT QUESTION): addictedtoclassic 33 * Elvish 29 jrownsdega 29 edna 27 * SoulGirl 21 UncleJoe 18 Tenacious Peaches 16 miamisammy 16 * DiggsUK 8 HDThoreau 8 bluesboy 7 TenYearsGone 7 MarcM 7 Windy1 6 Rico 5 Newbie Jr 5 Kevin28776 3 RogerWaters90125 2 Foxy1983 1 Bazooka 1 I don't think it would be fair for me to give any further clues in the Bee Gees question at this time. As I've said, Listen to the songs, but it's not in the lyrics.
Elvish Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 I'm guessing - both songs have bells in them? I thought for sure the other question was a Tom Jones song, but I couldn't find one that he sang written by Elvis Costello - now I know why!
Elvish Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Maybe it's more than bells - do they both use orchestras?
OLD 55 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Posted February 1, 2005 I'm in a moral dilemna. I don't really think it's fair to Addict for me to give a blatant clue. Keep Trying please, so I'll have time to post another question for January 31 (Songfacts Time). ::
Uncle Joe Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Maurice Gibb sang lead on both songs?? I was thinking it was Robin Gibb. Wait a minute. Is there a cello in each song?

OLD 55 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Posted February 1, 2005 NEW QUESTION ! Australian Artists had quite a few US Chart Hits in the 1980s. In ONE year of the 80s, 3 Australian acts had a #1 record on the Billboard Hot 100. I'd like the names of the 3 acts please.
Uncle Joe Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Olivia Newton John, Men At Work, Rick Springfield?
_jr_ Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Hhhmm. sheena Easton. Olivia Newton John. Men at Work. those are the only three poppy types I can think of.
Uncle Joe Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Or is it Olivia Newton John, Men At Work, Little River Band?
Uncle Joe Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Jr., I believe Sheena is a wee Scottish lass.
_jr_ Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 She is? I don't know. It all made me gag, so I didn't listen to it. How about AC/DC, they're from Australia, aren't they?
OLD 55 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Posted February 1, 2005 We'll swap them for that cute little Scottish lady any day. Uncle and jr, you're giving it a really good go. Keep trying ! I wonder what keeps happening to my avatar? Now you see it, now you don't............ ::

DiggsUK Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 I'm the filling in a Windy & HD sandwich! Regards
OLD 55 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Posted February 1, 2005 Thank you very much Dear Edna. I think our friends in Europe may be a little disadvantaged by the time differences, so you, SoulGirl and Diggs did VERY well. My Wife and I are taking a three week holiday/ vacation in the middle of this month, so I'll have to cram in as many questions as I can. Here's 2 new ones: Please mark your answers A and B, and don't forget that you get a point for EVERY question you participate in. QUESTION A A spooky one. Which group had one of their most successful singles debut on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the day their lead singer died? And what was the single? QUESTION B What could these 3 musicians have in common? Dion DiMucchi (of Dion and the Belmonts and later solo), Bob Dylan, and Stuart Sutcliffe? CLUE: Think Beatles. Good luck and goodnight all. :sleepy:
edna Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Question A: I know Johnny Moore, singer of the Drifters, died very soon... "Under the boardwalk", though, was recorded the day before first former singer died... I´ll keep on searching... Question B: I know Dion Dimucci knew Bob Dylan and I read he did something on "Maggie´s farm"... but that has nothing to do with Stucliffe... mmm...
