7. CHILDREN'S SONG, THOUGHT BY SOME TO BE ABOUT MARI JUANA.

When you at first didn't notice Puff The Magic Dragon , I was desperate for an alternative.

Yellow Submarine , perhaps ?

Curses ! I thought that one would beat everyone. :grin:

Thanks for the compliment and Super Job to get it bazooka. :coolio:

Hard to know with the Beatles (and lots of other mid /late 60s Bands) whether their songs contain drug references or not ! Maybe John and Paul are just tired in that pic. Too much songwriting ? They sure look a bit out of it.

I don't think "Puff" is anything more than a simple tale about a boy growing up. I always feel sorry for the Dragon.

3, 4 and 9 to go. :)

Here's the CLUES for those three again:

3. JUST RIGHT FOR ME.

4. HE'S CERTAINLY NOT IN FAVOR OF IT !

9. NOT THE U.K. & AUSTRALIAN HIT "NOBODY'S CHILD".

I think Brad is going to post Top Ten #15 ? If not I'll ask das to do the honors. I'm sending both of them the answers to the above questions, so they'll work things out between them.

Don't forget, if anybody else wants to have a go at doing one, please contact me.

Goodnight All. Have fun. :)

4...I Can't Go For That(no can do)..Hall and Oates?

#9: Somebody's Baby ~ Jackson Browne?

WELL DONE LAURIE & SHAWNA ! :coolio:

Just #3 to go. Great try by Laurie - not far off at all - it sure fits the original Clue ! I didn't think of that one. The one I thought of was a big 1970s Disco/ Dance type Hit and really has much the same title as the Dave Clark song.

................................................

Thanks Laurie about my Centerfold clue. I'm glad somebody else got it. ;)

I'll check back later. My computer is still "No Go".

..................................................

It looks like my computer is O.K. again thanks to Young55 and a spare part he got from his big brother. I'm lucky to have two computer whiz sons. Their big brother and I wouldn't have a clue about the strange workings of copmputers.

Laurie has kindly offered to put on a NEW TOP TEN. Thank you very much Laurie. I gladly accept your offer. I'm not too well today/tonight so I'll leave it to you to put on TOP TEN # 16 when you can.
