Subject: The 'Cure' For The Common Quiz...The habit's been kicked! WINNERS: JAYTEE & INDY
Written By: Doc Brown on 05/09/05 at 7:59 pm
OK, this was another 'mystery theme' quiz, but jaytee nailed it with her first two songs. Only a child of the 80's like me would come up with a quiz full of songs about DRUGS! ::) This just might the strangest "Just Say NO" message the Net's ever seen! :D Have fun, but not too much fun!
1. "'Cause I'm running out of breath!"
Tam - Bon Jovi, "Bad Medicine"
2. "It's the lure of easy money"
Indy - Glenn Frey, "Smuggler's Blues"
3. "Away so long for years and years."
ladybug - Sting, "Fortress Around Your Heart"
4. "maybe I'll get what I'm asking for."
Tam - George Michael, "Monkey"
5. "When I'm alone with you."
nally - Huey Lewis & The News, "I Want A New Drug"
6. "And the white knight is talking backwards,"
Indy - Jefferson Airplane, "White Rabbit"
7. "Don’t forget this fact, you can’t get it back."
Powerslave - Eric Clapton, "Cocaine"
8. "There ain't no place to go anyway"
Starr - Billy Joel, "Captain Jack"
9. "Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,"
Indy - Beatles, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
10. "Take your silver spoon, dig your grave."
jaytee - Fleetwood Mac, "Gold Dust Woman"
11. "gets her through her busy day."
jaytee - Rolling Stones, "Mother's Little Helper"
12. "I love you, baby, can I have some more"
jaytee - Neil Young, "Needle And The Damage Done"
13. "Three letters took him to his final resting place."
Tao - TLC, "Waterfalls"
14. "there's just no stopping him tonight."
nally - Sheryl Crow, "Can't Cry Anymore"
15. "And I can feel my body shake."
Starr - Genesis, "Mama"
Final Score: jaytee - 3, Indy - 3, Tao - 1, powerslave - 1, nally - 2, ladybug - 1 Tam - 2, Starr - 2.
Good luck everyone!
Your Pal,
Doc

Hi Doc
#10 Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
#12 The Damage Done - Neil Young
I'd say drugs are the theme of this quiz.

5. Styx - Best of times.
Bizarrely I just heard some of this album(paradise theater) on the film Big Daddy (crap film by the way !) which reminded me I hadn't heard it for years and only had it on vinyl which i can't play at the moment so I've just bought it on cd from ebay !

Good going, folks. Since we've slowed down past the half I've added clues, but at least no one's gotten hooked, so to speak! :D Let's keep at it!

Excellent work guys, and thanks for the compliments along the way(caught yours there, Tam!)
Unfortunately, there's still two left and no one's taken a guess in almost a week! So since the clues didn't help on them, I've staged an 'intervention', as it were, and added more lyrics. I hope one of you nails the last pair before too long. Good luck!
Your Pal,
Doc
