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


OLD 55

Recommended Posts

1. With A Little Help From My Friends ~ Beatles

6. Believe It Or Not ~ Mike Post

I'm NOT paying 1 and 6 yet; when you work out the "Theme" you'll see why. (The artist who sings #6 is backed by Mike Post's Orchestra, and #1, not The Beatles)

1. With A Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker (Wonder Years 'theme')

6. Believe It or Not - sung by Joey Scarbury.

Well done Shawna, bazooka and Joe. :) The theme was of course T.V. THEMES.

I may have messed up #3. The answer is Kiss Me/ Sixpence Non The Richer, but is that the Theme from "Dawson's Creek", or was it just featured in the show ! I know it's on the soundtrack CD. Can some "Dawson's Creek" fan please help me out ?

:P

* Pratt & McLain? or Gimbel & Fox?

bazooka is on the case. I'll get to the bottom of this!

Main Title Theme Songs

Rock Around The Clock - written by Jimmy DeKnight (James E. Myers) and Max C. Freedman; performed by Bill Haley and The Comets (Seasons 1-2)

Happy Days - written by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox; performed by Pratt & McClain (Seasons 3-10)

Happy Days - written by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox; performed by Bobby Arvon (Season 11)

Whoomp. There it is.

9. Happy Days - Pratt & McClain (Seasons 3-10)

That's my final answer.

Old 55, I didn't watch Dawson's Creek, but I think that the theme song was "I Don't Want To Wait" by Paula Cole. "Kiss Me" was featured in the movie "She's All That" (or something like that). It's still a great song

Great theme! I had decades because I couldn't think of anything better.

Ok, let me try one. There's a theme to it.

1. Don’t board this one!

2. Hope not it’s a one-way street.

3. If angels could cry there would be...

4. Made me think of Esau’s brother.

5. Did this cause the death of a salesman?

6. Could be if you’re in love.

7. Maybe the Pope could if he only would?

8. Try to get out of here!

9. They are very small!

10. I wonder if he could fly?
