The Topical Ten. Can you Guess them from the Clues ?


OLD 55

Recommended Posts

Good guesses, everyone.

Laurie and Bazooka got so many, so quick, it didn't leave much left, but here's your chance to get the last two.

Laurie got #'s 1,2,4,6,7 correct. :coolio:

Bazooka got #'s 3,8,10 correct. :coolio:

Honorable mentions to Old55 for #5 and #9, those answers are very close. :coolio:

"American Girl" could technically be an answer for #8 but it did not crack the U.S. top 40. "American Woman" did.

"Little Man" and "Short D#ck Man" could technically be answers for #5 since they hit #21 and #14 respectively, but I'm looking for a song that hit the top 10.

"Orange Crush" could technically be an answer for #9 but it didn't crack the Top 40.

Here's a couple of clues:

#5: Don't think height, think family jewel size.

(Old55 and Bazooka, your answers were on the right track)

note: I said "I don't measure up" because I was thinking of a euphemism for you-know-what and that would make the answer something that I have. (not me, Brad, but the other guy who I quoted for that question) :grin:

#9: This soft drink is still around, but doesn't get much exposure, so think of a soda that you don't hear of too often. (It's spelling on the can is slightly different from the song).

Here's a re-cap:

1. She may be afraid of spiders but she's always right. Answered

2. I don't think the guys would want to live in these, but the girls would love it. Answered

3. Even trapping it in glass didn't make it stand still. Answered

4. If I were a bird of prey, I would do this. Answered

5. I don't measure up to all the other guys. See clue above

6. Ali-baba's favorite pasttime. Answered

7. You and I are trapped in an oreo cookie. Answered

8. She was born in the U.S.A. Answered

9. A soda vending machine would dispense this song. See clue above

10. This song was found posted on a tree with a photograph. Answered

Thanks to all the participants! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the invite, Darryl. That was fun! :coolio:

Now go get #'s 5 and 9. :rockon:

4. I used this in one of my Quizzes once. It's not the title of a Richie Valens or Big Bopper song.....

Well done Phil. :)

I never realised until someone pointed it out to me. You can definitely hear a different lead voice (Gerri Polci) and Frankie Valli singing backup falsetto. Ironic, isn't it, because that was probably their biggest Hit, a remix version charting high again 19 years later.
