#4 All I Need Is A Miracle - Mike & The Mechanics
#10 All I Want To Do - Heart
#12 All You Need Is Love - The Beatles
Good guesses- #1 & $ are completely correct.
#10 is partially correct...but not Heart.
#12- I'm afraid not. Another fellow user ventured that one, too. As I stated, no Beatles this time around.
Keep up the good work!

But i can't think of any song that has "Andie" or "Andy" in the title...I only guessed it because "Ms McDowell" jumped out at me.

Not Zep.
Nally- think of what you've said, and then think of the clue.
You are red-hot on the answer, man!

I'd swipe it, but that'd be unfair to Jeff...
Jeff, if my reasoning's correct, just change that bold letter above... ;)
As for #7...
Logic tells me that it's along the lines of 'The Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman'...I know there's a film with that title, but not sure if there's a song of it... :-\\

Jeff, if my reasoning's correct, just change that bold letter above... ;)
But it says "name cut short"... to me that implies chopping part of it off...which leaves "and"... and what?
Maybe if it said "one letter changed", then I'd probably get it, and think "'Angie' by the Rolling Stones." But again, that might not be the right answer. :-\\
Not Zep.

Also, mi username no comienza con letra capital.

I was thinking along the lines of truncating 'Angela'...
But it appears to be incorrect, so I'd better get onto a different line of thinking!
Either that, or go back to sleep... ;)
Subject: Re: The "A" CryptiQuiz- Under New Management! 2.5 LEFT!
Written By: HawkTheSlayer on 08/22/06 at 3:03 pm
nally is so close about the answer, but like the cross-eyed marksman, he just barely misses the target.
The answer is really quite simple, I promise.
Think about it- "Ms. McDowell's name cut short".
Ms. McDowell's name is Andie.
How does one cut it short?
Simplicity, friends. Simplicity.

I knows that.

I'm thinking...I'm thinking...and coming up empty. :-\\ They bring it to an end; stop it early; leave it unfinished. How one does that with a name, I don't know right now.

If I truncate Angela, the best thing I can come up with is "Angel", and so many different artists recorded a song with that name. But that is probably not it either.
And at the time you posted your reply, it was afternoon in my time zone. :)

I will give it until midnight, and if no one is able to guess correctly, then I will release the song title.
Once you have that, the group will be easy to reference.

As no one was able to guess #6's title correctly, I have suppiled it.
I have even included hints. The rest is up to you.

Good thought, though.
