I actually like the movie, it gets better every time I see it. the quote from "The Dark Knight" wasn't either. but I can understand why in this case. so if my calculations are correct and there are no scoring errors, drum roll please ... Mark Brader is the winner! but Mark is disqualified from hosting the next RQ, because he is on vacation. serves him right for having a life. I hope he at least takes some nice pictures for us. ;-) so the honor of hosting the next round goes to Dan Blum! Congratulations Dan! my condolences to Gareth, who would have done considerably better if he had read the instructions. I had prepared to accept some answers in Swedish, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. but no one who speaks those languages natively entered. maybe next time. Thank You all for playing. swp |

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Aug 09 06:59PM -0500 GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #343 (GOLQ343) Hello everyone, and welcome to the August edition of the quiz. For this edition of the quiz I have departed from my usual audio snippet format and opted to use the traditional text lyrics format instead. There are two closely related themes in the quiz, one being a "SUBset" of the other. It is difficult to say how many of each there are since many lyric sets contain both elements. By my reckoning this quiz may be a bit of a "toughy," although the themes may help a bit. One last note; results and scoring probably will not be published until the latter part of September. I hope that will not be an inconvenience for anyone. Have fun everyone.

How far is the journey From here to a star? And if I ever lost you How much would I cry? #09) Feel like jumpin' Baby won't ya join me please I don't like beggin' But now I'm on bended knees #10) Oh what I'd give Just to sail back to shore Back to your arms once more Oh come to my rescue Oh come here to me #11) ...sending my boyfriend Somewhere across the sea I know I'll cry my heart out When they take him from me #12) He trudged the dunes and the mangrove swamps Where pirates hid and the gators romped sharks and barricudas swam Lying in wait #13) Deiner Heimat ist das Meer Deiner Freunde sind die Sterne Ueber Lido und Shanghai Ueber Bali und Hawaii Deiner Liebe ist dein Schiff Deiner Sinsucht ist die Ferne #14) I've stood upon the pyramids of Egypt Far away across the ocean blue I've seen the island beauties of Hawaii But I've never seen a beauty like you #15) If you like the Taste of a lobster stew Served by a window With an ocean view #16) Floating on a sea of shattered dreams To a isle of tears and woe No other love could rescue me, baby From this isle of loneliness Until you come and save me, baby I'll be marooned like this #17) Hey everybody gather round Listen to that bongo sound Grab the first one in your reach Now we're going to shake the beach #18) Everyone was there just waiting for me There were plenty of Stingrays and XKEs #19) You're really learning You're doing fine I like the crazy way you sway 'Cause when I got you on my mind you melt the night away. #20) The truth is America's real trouble doesn't lie in the rice paddies of Vietnam, in the masses of Red China, or in the diabolical intrigues to the South of us. The real trouble lies in the playgrounds of St. Louis, the Hillside mansions of San Francisco, and in the slums of Chicago. A disease Which is slowly eating away at the heart of America lives in the small Southern towns, the fishing villages of New England, and in the hot dusty Streets of the midwest #21) And here we sit immersed in a liquid sea of love Shimmering rainbows in silver sky above A looking glass that reflects our past Tied with seaweed all around like willows #22) Can you teach him How to catch a fish And keep all those bullies away Hear what I say #23) Tell the moon up in the sky Tell the birds that fly by That over and over #24) I'm growing up and changing all my toys Aeroplanes, motor cars goldfish in old jam jars #25) ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ We would shout and swim about The coral that lies beneath the waves (Lies beneath the ocean waves) Oh what joy for every girl and boy Knowing they're happy and they're safe #T1) Met her down in Madagascar She would kiss me Any time that I would ask her Then one evenin' Her flame of love blew out Blow me down and pick me up She swapped me for a trout. #T2) ============================================================================ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please fill in the following information (append at the end of each line): Name(s) = E-mail address = Age(s) [will be published if provided] = Number of people (including you) who contributed to your answers = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
