Subject: Three-word Song Challenge (only1/2 left! - clues!)
Written By: Zella on 02/19/06 at 7:28 pm
Okay - here's a concept that I don't think has been done in a long time.
Name the songs that have the following sets of three words in them. The words are in the correct order that they appear in the song (altho' some may appear more than once if they fall in the chorus).
Note: These songs are all from the late 60s- thru mid 70s.
Warning: It is an eclectic batch! ;)
