OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 It's great to be able to get back into the thread again. Not any of those, sorry. I won't give any clues just yet, until a few more have a try. Keep thinking - she was a famous movie star.
_jr_ Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Keep thinking - she was a famous movie star. But you know what? When she played in an Elvis movie, she was a co-star. I've been listening to Elvis for 3 days now. I can't get enough. Can you imagine being Elvis? Every where you went. Everything you did. You were the star. No matter what room you walk into, you're the biggest name there. That had to get tiresome. Hey 55, you should start an 'Coolest Elvis Jumpsuit' thread. The blue one with the cape. Definately. Oh, Sorry.....carry on.
windy1 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 No jr, the sexiest was the televised 1968 special. Black jeans,black leather jacket,boots....Hair so cool. Wow, he looked good.
_jr_ Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Well that's the sexiest, not the coolest. Elvis was cool to begin with. The only thing that could possibly make Elvis any cooler, would be a cape.
OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 You wouldn't believe it. I just get back into Songfacts and my Net Server dropped me out ! I wanted to make a couple of comments before the BIG announcement - "Juliet Prowse?" Good tryUncle, but Frank Sinatra was dating her and warned Elvis off! "Hey 55, you should start an 'Coolest Elvis Jumpsuit' thread." Windy took my comment that was lost in Computer Limbo. I think his black leather 68 Comeback suit was the coolest. We shouldn't award her the 5 points for.......... Natalie Wood ! GREAT ANSWER Windy. WELL DONE - go to the Top Table. He couldn't have been that bad though, because she did say later that he was a "perfect gentleman". (That was probably the trouble). She was missing James Dean after his death and struck up a "friendship" with Elvis, but Gladys Presley didn't like her much so she never really stood a chance. CURRENT POINTS Windy1 7 UncleJoe 7 katie sane 6 edna 2 miamisammy 2 jr 1 New Question coming up ! ::
edna Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Hope this afternoon, when I try to get into the site, I´ll find: 1) The site allows me to enter! 2) Old55´s question is sooo easy for me and I can post the right answer for once!
OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 Hi Edna ! You wouldn't believe it. First the site's down and then my Internet Server. Back soon with 2 NEW QUESTIONS. Good Luck. TWO NEW QUESTIONS ADDED ON NEXT PAGE.
OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 NEW QUESTIONS ............................................................ O.K. Now don't forget to have a go at BOTH questions, because you get a point for participating in each. I don't think the first question is too difficult, and the second ISN'T as difficult as it may sound when you first read it. QUESTION A: What do these three Beatles' songs have in common besides not having been written by Lennon/ McCartney? "Chains", "Boys", "Please Mr.Postman". QUESTION B: The Beach Boys had two US Top 40 Hits that have something very much in common. They were both written by Brian Wilson, both in the 1960s, and NOT about surfing ! I can't think of any other artist or group with a similar feat. Can you name the two songs?
MarcM Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Question B-409 and Lil Deuce Coupe were about cars. Question A- I'll get back to you.
OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 Good answer - I never thought of that! - but "409" didn't make the Top 40. "Don't Worry Baby" was about a guy entering a stock car race (?) and telling his girl not to worry, so you're the front runner for 2 points for that novel answer (if you don't get the 5).
edna Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Question A: All the three of them are in side A of first album, "Please, please me" Question B: lemme see... "Help me Rhonda" and "Wouldn´it be nice" talk of love and have been in the charts...
OLD 55 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 Not those Edna, but a good answer to Question A, although you may be thinking of "Please Please Me" not "Please Mr.Postman" on Side A? Good luck kid. I'm off to bed. :sleepy:
katie_sane Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Question A - Chains, Boys and Please Mr Postman were all released on the 22nd of the month? I think this question is hard! Question B - Barbara Ann and Help Me Rhonda both contain girl's names??
katie_sane Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Question A - Chains, Boys and Please Mr Postman were all recorded by three mowtown girl groups of the early 1960's before they were recorded by the Beatles. The Cookies (Chains), The Shirelles (Boys) and The Marvelettes (Please Mr Postman).
Addictedtoclassic Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 I'll take a stab at Question B: California Girls and Kokomo
miamisammy29 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Question A: John and Paul erased Clarence's sax solos from all three songs, just after they kicked Clarence out of the band. Question B: "Little Duece Coupe" and "Cherry Cherry Coupe"?
Uncle Joe Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 A. All three songs were covers of US R&B hits. B. Is Disney what the two songs had in common?
Uncle Joe Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Question A - Chains, Boys and Please Mr Postman were all recorded by three mowtown girl groups of the early 1960's before they were recorded by the Beatles. The Cookies (Chains), The Shirelles (Boys) and The Marvelettes (Please Mr Postman). Katie, only The Marvelettes were a Motown group.
Addictedtoclassic Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 B: Wendy & Dance, Dance, Dance?
Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 A. Covers of R&B hits...I would have said that anyway, UncleJoe. B. I think it has something to with the instruments played on the songs, but I can't figure out the correct combination of songs.
Uncle Joe Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 A. All three songs were covers of US R&B hits. B. Is Disney what the two songs had in common? Or, could it be that the two songs were covers of hits by: Bobby Freeman, Do You Wanna Dance and The Regents' Barbara Ann ?
windy1 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 Sorry to Interrupt...I haven't even read the next two quetions. Let me get this out of my system..I was almost tempted to use a banana, but no I won't go that crazy. I got one!!!!!!!! Thank you.. you may carry on.
