Hi Banasy !

Don't see you here often....I presume you mean # 12....

You are correct with the song title, so half a point !

Actually I will give you a full point because I don't see you here very often !

But the other half is still open...

Hey, I'm confused here. I thought #14 was Dark Lady. Then Banasy says its the Evita song. Didn't she mean #12?

Subject: Re: FB 70s lyrics quiz

Written By: FussBudgetVanPelt on 06/29/02 at 10:02 p.m.

I assumed Banasy meant number 12, so I answered on that basis...

# 14 was indeed Dark Lady, and not :

Dont Cry For Me, Marge and Tina.....

#15 is "Smokin' in the Boys' Room" by Brownsville Station.  Later covered by Mötley Crüe.

Subject: Re: FB 70s lyrics quiz

Written By: Indy Gent on 06/29/02 at 10:05 p.m.

In that case:
The London version was done by Elaine Paige, and the Broadway version was by Patti LuPone.

At the risk of sounding like I'm up on my knowledge, isn't it something to do with The Revelation of St John The Divine and Armageddon? The world shall now end due to unfair practices in lyrics quizzes?

Sorry, I may have offended you there, JC. I didn't mean to, I know that you're a devout Christian and you would not want me to say things like that. I truly apologise for the remarks in the previous paragraph.

I'm wondering if your War of The Worlds reference has something to do with a question you thought you may have answered ?

Oh hang on... I think I figured it out: Julie Covington played the part of Beth on the War of the Worlds album. The booklet has her bio in it, and that's where I read about her contribution to Evita.

I'm confused now, and still coming to grips with Paul Hogan and the Two Ronnies doing the same joke.

That's two guesses right (here and in Taoist's quiz) in a row... they say things come in threes (I'm sure there's a rude joke about Atomic Kitten in there somewhere), so I wonder what the third'll be...
