  • Rich · 1 year ago
    21 is Klark Kent, "Don't Care," the theme song to my Senior Beach Trip in 1990.
  • Bedivere · 1 year ago
    Puzzle song - "Baby Elephant Walk" - Henry Mancini
  • Rich · 1 year ago
    The puzzle song is perhaps "Baby Elephant Walk" by H. Mancini?
  • Rich · 1 year ago
    BLAST!!!!
  • Bedivere · 1 year ago
    Hey Rich, if we're right, why don't you take the prize, since I won one last week.
  • Rich · 1 year ago
    There's prizes?! I thought we were just showing off for each other! Thanks, Bedivere....
  • Bedivere · 1 year ago
    And according to my calculations, the acrostic is "STROLLING INFANT PACHYDERM", if that helps. Which makes me suspect #8 is "Next Door to an Angel" by Neil Sedaka.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Yes! The Puzzle Song is Henry Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk". Congratulations to Bedivere, and congratulations to Rich as well, who missed by a minute.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Correct:
    23. Ruby Tuesday - the Rolling Stones
    16. Please Mr. Please - Olivia Newton-John
    21. Klark Kent - Don't Care
    8. Next Door to an Angel - Neil Sedaka
  • WHarrisBullzEye · 1 year ago
    5. Mutual Admiration Society, "End of the World" (probably not, but that's what it immediately reminded me of)
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Not End of the World by Mutual Admiration Society.
  • Breadalbane · 1 year ago
    I am so dreadfully awful at this game, it's beyond a joke. This is about my seventh week trying this, and I don't think I've got one clip yet. By now, I only visit these posts out of a sense of masochism.

    But for what it's worth, number 3 sounds like Roy Orbison to me. "Running Scared"?
  • Eric · 1 year ago
    #1 is "Starting All Over Again" by .... I think it is the Hall & Oates version
