bazooka Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 bazooka will take a try at dishing out some Clues. I've been concerned about being around to monitor the answers, but I'll check back as soon as I can. 1. This song with a very short title has three separate videos and ranked as the fifth most popular song of all time in a poll. 2. Only you and me. 3. Triple the dame. 4. A muscle car engine or a cleaning formula. 5. A conspicuous small group of faithful followers. 6. Trucker's happy ditty. 7. There must be a lot of water to cross over on this route. 8. It would add fifty-two spaces on the calendar. 9. The latest Gypsy-recommended passion-producing elixir. 10.Occurrences a decade back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) 1. One - U2 I think I can safely say we have 1,2,3,4,8,9 and 10 right (or at least we are on the right track), which pretty much gives away the theme if you look at the answers. It doesn't help me out with the rest though. Edited May 25, 2006 by Guest Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 You catch on fast, c s 1987 ! You're right on 1. One Uncle Joe got 2. Just The Two Of Us, 4. 409, and 9. Love Potion Number Nine OLD 55 has number 8. Eight Days A Week Shawna picked up number 3. Three Times A Lady daslied's answer for 10 is nearly workable, but not precisely in tune with the Clue. So 5, 6, 7 & 10 still to be deduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 That's a 'negatory' on number 6, Shawna. (Look to the 'theme') 6. Trucker's happy ditty. This song (written by two guys named 'Earl') was a hit on the Country charts in 1963. Since then, it's been covered by countless artists in various genres.

bazooka Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 daslied obviously knows Mr. Zimmerman ("You can call me Bobby or you can call me Zimmy ") And Peaches brought it home like a foxy trucker. (" I got ten forward gears, And a sweet Georgia overdrive. I'm takin' little white pills, And my eyes are open wide ") Six Days .. vaulted to number two on Billboard's Country charts in the summer of 1963, managing a surprising number 32 on the Pop side. From there on, Dudley would be revered among truckers as their singing spokesman, chronicling their exploits with the uncompromising follow-ups Truck Drivin' Son-of-a-Gun in 1965 and Trucker's Prayer in 1967. Steve Earle, Boxcar Willie, George Thorogood, Sawyer Brown, and the Flying Burrito Brothers have all slipped behind the wheel of Six Days on the Road, but none transformed it quite the blues-rocking way Taj Mahal did on his 1969 remake.

bazooka Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 straight shooter bazooka's Correction Dept 6. Trucker's happy ditty. This song (written by two guys named 'Earl') was a hit on the Country charts in 1963. Although some good-for-nothing sites tagged them 'Earl' and 'Earl', they are actually Earl Green and Carl Montgomery ( 'furniture movers' -- if this site can be trusted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 A little note on the name change for this thread. Old 55 PT'ed me and suggested that from now on, any contributors to this thread always have a topical top 10 based on a theme. I thought it was a good idea, so he asked the mods of this forum to change the title. Bazooka had a great topical ten, and if I'd been around to play, my brain would probably be a pretzel by now. I have a themed one ready to go, but as I won't be around too much longer today, I will leave the floor open for someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
