Another 3 doc!

As you noticed, some numbers are missing, when you figure out the link you should be able to work out why these are missing ;)

Hi Taoist

I forgot to say earlier - fabulous quiz.  :)  Must have taken you ages to compile it.  You realise it's after midnight here which means I'll be going to bed with all these song lyrics in my head :-\\  It'll take me ages to get to sleep.

52. Teenage Dirtbag - Wheetus.
59.Prince Charming - Adam and the ants.
71. Luca - Suzanne Vega.

Cat

is #85. Atomic ~ Blondie?

62. Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

75. Read'Em and Weep-Meat Loaf/Barry Manilow

Hi again Tao...

One possible...(lyrics sort-of work)
#45. 'Rhythm Of The Rain' - Cascades/Jason Donovan

Two definites...
#47. 'A Good Heart' - Feargal Sharkey
#50. 'Snoopy Vs The Red Baron' - Royal Guardsmen/Hotshots

Nope! Still can't work this link out...

All correct - CatWoman, Indy, Gaylon, Sugafairey and Paul!

The link is a little subtle, I think part I makes it easier
The missing numbers are a bit of a clue.

I thought of one or two potential links last night but then the missing numbers bit makes it harder.

Could any of the songs here go in another position and still fit the theme?  Is there only one possible song which could go in one of the missing places?

OK

Some of the songs could go in another position and still fit the theme but in general the songs can't be moved.
The missing numbers are not there because I couldn't find a song to fit them (when you work it out it should be obvious why)
It is possible that appropriate songs exist but I don't know them!

Hi Rob, got here late but there's a couple I recognise....

#79 is "Australia" by Manic Street Preachers
#83 is "Big Bottom" by Spinal Tap (excellent  :)!)

Another 2!
Any thoughts on the link? (links accross both parts of the quiz)

66. is "Dyer's Eve" by Metallica.

And 77. is "Iron Maiden", by Iron Maiden. I knew there had to be a Maiden song in there somewhere. :)

63. is "European Legacy" by Jethro Tull.

63. is "European Legacy" by Jethro Tull.

All correct Powerslave, any idea about the link?

A very wild guess here, Tao...but do the question numbers tie up with historical events/people/things from the appropriate year of the 20th century?

For example...

#36. 'Kryptonite' - Superman was first created in 1936

#50. 'Snoopy' - I think 'Peanuts' started in 1950

#77. 'Iron Maiden' - has got to be something to do with Thatch, but I'm not sure what she done that year...

...interesting theory, nonetheless...!

I reckon you might be on to something PAul.

74 is Waterloo Sunset and that's the year Abba won Eurovision with Waterloo

Hi Tao

# 56  Marianne Faithfull -The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan

57. La Resistance (medley)-South Park cast
67. Holiday In Cambodia-Dead Kennedys

Tao

If Paul is right does that make #69 'Walking on the Moon' The Police

Maybe, but #69 isn't on this quiz.
Tao

If Paul is right does that make #69 'Walking on the Moon' The Police

I know but I think Tao said that people might be able to fill in the blanks

In which case you could have 'Barriers' by Soft Cell at #61...

(That being the year The Berlin Wall went up, y'see...)

(That is, of course, whether my guess is correct...)

Wow, those guesses at the link are far more involved that the actual answer, good ideas though.

#69 Can't really be done (in English anyway, maybe in a Swahili quiz)
The same applies to (most) of the other missing numbers

#8 is Something we all use regularly (alone and when 'mixed' with #1)
As a diver, I am also interested in #7 (and avoiding it)

Hope this helps!

34. As pure as the driven and I should be in prison
British band - unstoppable sex machine?


That would be Carter, the Unstoppable Sex Machine as the group.

53. should be "chooks", not "chucks" :) No idea on the song, though.  :(
