Subject: Doc's Cryptiquiz (U,V,W,X&Y songs!) FINITO, WINNERS: HAWK & LOKI!
Written By: Doc Brown on 08/21/06 at 6:06 pm
One more quiz before my Well-deserved Xit, but looking at Hawk's work, the series is in good hands. Of course, he might need a partner to get'em through to Z! (One someone gets Z posted for Round 3.) As usual, there's one song starting with U,V,X&Y worth 3 pts. each, and the starting limit's OFF. Stay tuned for my temporary (Cryptiquiz) Swan Song, and good luck!

Hiya Doc!
Is #3 by any chance "Whenever Wherever" by Shakira?
#6 is obviously "X & Y" by Coldplay, I know that much.

They did. He might have been looking for that answer.

Cool. Maybe he'll see my half-answer and think it over. In the meantime, I'll see if I can think of any additional ones.

I would say that #18, Walk on Water, is by Neil Diamond, and I would be right, but somehow I suspect that is not the song you are looking for... ;)

Best guess, here, Doc-
#4- Either Pat Benatar, or Christina Aguilera

Written By: Sister Morphine on 08/23/06 at 8:46 pm
Christina Aguilera didn't do a song called Walls. She didn't even have an album out in 1996.
I'm guessing that maybe #4 is Circle II Circle.

Being that I don't listen to C. Aguilera, I have no idea. I'm guessing here.
