Hi Zella

I think that #35 is "American Pie" by Don McLean (or Madonna, but I'm doing my best to forget about that one).

Subject: Re: giant unusual words quiz...

Written By: maddog167 on 02/02/03 at 05:29 a.m.

...and for some reason I have the words "'Frisco Bay" in my head associated to #23 "tombstone bar".
Am I close? I love this stuff but it drives me mad!

#13 is "Garden Party" by Rick Nelson.
#18 is "Incense & Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock.
#24 is "nonchalant" and is in "When You Walk in the Room" by the Searchers (also by its composer, Jackie DeShannon; and also by Pam Tillis)
#26 is "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart.

No, I don't think so; I don't know the song real well, but I am pretty sure there is no Frisco Bay in it. To tell the truth, I don't think the song mentions any specific locations, but it always seemed to me to have a Southern or Texas 'feel' to it! :D

Don -- 13, 18 and 26 are correct. :) While I am sure you are correct on your "When You Walk" having 'nonchalent' in it (I was concerned that word might turn up elsewhere! :o ), it would not fit here, as these are in alphabetical order and the song must therefore start with 'L'.
