OLD 55 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 The band: Commander Cody? (And His Lost Planet Airmen). WHOA!! I DIDN"T THINK ANYONE WOULD GET THAT. CONGRATULATIONS EDNA THAT"LL MAKE IT INTERESTING WHEN I TALLY UP THE POINTS. This little known U.S. Band made a specialty of covering novelty songs. Their only real Hit in 1972 was a cover of Johhny Bond's "Hot Rod Lincoln" - which itself was actually a cover of an old R & B Hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) I DECLARE EDNA THE WINNER OF THE AUGUST 2005 QUIZ ! MY CONGRATULATIONS TO HER (WON"T SHE GET A SURPRISE WHEN SHE LOGS IN !). MY WARM THANKS TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED THE QUIZ. A VERY SPECIAL MENTION TO LAURIE WHO JUST NEVER STOPPED TRYING. With Question 1, I awarded 5 Points to Peaches for her answers, "Pepsi" (I'm convinced you got the right one Baby) and "Children Out Of Wedlock" which is correct, depending on how you view the conception of MJ's children. (Ray Charles had 12 children by 7 different women). WELL DONE PEACHES What I was looking for was that each of them were married and divorced twice. I googled to check that, because I wasn't sure if Madonna was divorced or separated. FINAL POINTS edna 90 Laurie 87 Brad 58 jr 38 miamisammy 37 bazooka 35 Shawna, UncleJoe 30 katie 27 Peaches 14 bluesboy, Diggs 10 Levis 5 HD, Kevin 4 Foxy 1 ................................................ IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTACT ME EDNA, WE"LL ARRANGE SOME NICE MUSIC STAMPS FOR YOU. SORRY, I DON'T HAVE ANY "COMMANDER CODY" ONES. Edited September 1, 2005 by Guest Just tidying up.

OLD 55 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Good on you Laurie. As I've said before, I wish my football team would try as hard as you do. I thought you had it until I read edna's "Commander Cody". I didn't think anyone would get that, so she really earnt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This old thread has lots of info about Hot Rod Lincoln and the unusual later version by Bill Kirchen, Commander Cody's guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your quiz is the most exciting game ever on SF! I always enjoyed your quizzes. My mind will go back to being dull and boring without the quiz to stimulate it. I learned a lot from you, teacher. Please don't go! But if you must, I thank you for a great game and so much fun! Darryl, please accept this Visual Interlude award. You truly deserve it!

I accept with gratitude and pride. That's very kind of you, and thanks to all the others who have expressed their well wishes. I've made a lot of good friends here. I've been toying with the idea of a "Music Crossword" for a while. I'm going to prepare one and put it on, hopefully within the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
