Oh come on. Who's the onlly singer/songwriter who could get away with
"I hid my yo-yo in the garden"?

...apart from Peter Gabriel.

btw. previous clue should be:

"you look too small, in their big black car".....dumdiddydumetc

3:13 would fit nicely in the Mog 4 series.

Still haven't twigged 3:7? (That's not a clue) Too easy for clues.

There must be more music heads out there. It would be really cool if you posted a quiz round or three. (Pretty please??? With sugar on the top???????)

After the initial idea struck me, I found it was quite difficult to actually think of songs from which to select a lyric snippet, so I started with the "theme" thang. Once I chose a theme, that helped me to focus on songs, and the rest came naturally. Example below... It's a biggie.... and spans at least 4 decades of music and a variety of genres, so hopefully there's something for everyone.

Prospero, a stór, the ones I don't know, I just don't know. Googled the p3.7, and yes I've heard it on the tranny a couple of times, but just ain't in the collection...

Some ya lose!

Post by **prospero** » Tue 29 Apr, 2008 2:14 am

OMG.

I'm doing an all-nighter so I'll keep having a squiz between frames.......

I'll give you 3:7

I'll give ya a bit longer on 3:9......

Song is about a scientist in the 1930's who was working on wheather control, in the perspective of his young son. His efforts incurred the wrath of the powers that be and he was scooped up by the spook squad. Hence the big black car. Video is very clever. Looks like clips from an imaginary movie starring Donald Sutherland. The artist in question plays the young boy in the vid. Where the yo-yo comes in Im not sure.

Confused? You will be

One of the most tragic departures....

My heart goes out to her children..

Re "Confused?" got it now, plus recognised the accompanying vid from your description. Not one of my faves from La Bush. However, I love this(great track, and visually stunning video, apart from the daft suit - needs Quicktime, btw, and depending on your bandwidth it can be worth downloading completely before play.) It's one of her 'growers'...

She got Emma Thompson Hair.

Prospero and Aine,

I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering when you 2 ever get to bed. Not suggesting in the same bed!

Your posts go on almost all night long!!

Admire your staying power...!!

Why dont you both open a frame shop in the Azores - as you are more in their time zone than ours??
