Hello folks,

Years ago, probably around the Candace Parker time, I slid over from the Boneyard and administered music tests under the suejohn handle. I'm back to see if you are still interested in playing.

Please do no research, and just answer with the question #, father than repeat the question itself. Be clear and exhaustive.

1..What is the gist of the video of Lionel Richie's "Hello"?
2..Wolfgang Mozart & Stephen Sondheim have what common title?
3..Use a few degrees of separation to link Fats Domino to "You Light up My Life".
4.."Blame it on Me? & "Don't Want to lock me up inside" give you 2 tunes from Evanescence.
5..Humphrey & Lauren get new life in 1981. Explain.
6..You've got to know when... Know when...
Know when... And know when to...
7..First Little Anthony seemed to have an earwig, then apparently passed it on to ELO. Say what?
8..Different songs, same title by the Drifters & Orleans.
9..Two ABBA tunes are titled with one word each, repeated twice.
10..A blockbuster '60's concept album(?) did not get
them(?) into the R&R Hall of Fame to this day.
11..Word play: folk group is "coin in the water"?
12..What happens to Paul Young "Every time you go away"?
13..What famous lady sings uncredited back-up on
John Stewart's GOLD?
14..In the middle of her(?) album(?) is Carnival & I May Know the Word.
15..This 1981 Best Picture is also the theme song? by..?
It opens with Olympic hopefuls running along the surf.
16..What better scurry when I take you out in my surrey?
And musical name?
17..Vincero; Vincero; Vinceeeeeero!
18..A song tells you to, "Send your camels to bed".
19..Dead or Alive accuses her of interfering with his
inertia. Explain.
20..Still alive? Ben E. King, Bill Haley, Bo Diddly, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard.

It's now in your hands, VolNation.

3. Rita Coolidge but I don't think that is the question.
6. Don't Rock the Boat by Hues Corporation
8. Dance with me.
13. Stevie Nicks
15. Chariots of fire.

After that I would need to hit the search engines

1. He's in love with a blind girl?

6. Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run

12. You take a piece of me with you
13. Stevie Nicks
15. Chariots of Fire (song got so dang old after awhile)
18. Midnight at the Oasis

It seems it is time for some hints.
1..Yes, Gtok, and can you say how she shows her love in return?
2..A ______ Night Music
3..When Fats recorded "Ain't That a Shane", who covered it? Take it from there.
7.Now Sourmash puzzles me. See a bulldog grabs hold and doesn't let go, but this one grabs, leaves, comes back, grabs again ad infinitum. Is he genetically disabled?
Now to business--you've got the ELO wording spot on, but the Little Anthony title is a bit different. Anyone?
10..The album is Days of Future Past. The artist?
11..Now when you are doing a word play, it can never be correct to employ the exact term as in the hint. If there were a song called, Silver Dollar in the Fountain, that could work. Here you want to take the name of one of our coins and come up with a 2 word answer.
14..Her name is ______ Merchant, the album is Tiger Lily.
16..Rogers and Hammerstein with a 50's musical, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.
17..The finale of a well known tenor aria called Nessun Dorma, made famous by the most renowned singer of the 80's & 90's, who died a few years ago, Luciano _________.
19..You ____ Me ______.
20..Yes, to Jerry Lee, but there are others too.

Things are quiet on the answering front, so I'll complete.
1..Lionel's beloved fashions a clay bust of him.
2..Mozart composed Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, which translates as A Little Night Music, which Sondheim used for his musical.
3..And it was Pat Boone's daughter Debbie who had the hit mentioned.
4..Lachrimosa, Lithium
5..Yes, to the Bertie Higgins song.
6..You were pretty good on the Kenny Rogers' The Gambler lyrics.
7..You got the ELO title; Little Anthony & the Imperials had I Think I'm Going Out Of My Head.
8..Yes, Dance With Me works
9..Gimmee, Gimmee Gimmee; Money, Money, Money
10..Moody Blues
11..Nickel Creek
12..Sour & Gtok have it.
13..Yes, to Stevie Nicks
14..Natalie Merchant
15..Hunt & Gtok (reluctantly) remember Chariots of fire.
16..The Surry With the Fringe on Top is from OKLAHOMA. What needs to scurry are chicks, ducks & geese.
17..Luciano Pavarotti
18..Ben & Gtok on top off this one.
19..You Spin Me Around
20..Also Fats, Chuck & Richard

So, I think I need to reevaluate the questions I provide. Stay tuned. Auf Wiederschreiben.
