Hi Doc, I'll try 2 for now, total guesses mind you.  ;D

C...Captain Jack....Billy Joel?

O...One On One.....Hall & Oates?  Cheap Trick also has a song called One On One but knowing your quizzes I chose Hall & Oates.

T...Turn Up The Radio.....Autograph?

Written By: snozberries on 02/08/09 at 1:49 pm



so I take it, since you didn't acknowledge that karen was wrong with her guess about Tears For Fears singing Silent Running

and I was wrong when I guessed Moon Unit Zappa singing Valley Girl?


See how we switched it up on you?

Subject: Re: Doc's A-Z CryptiQuiz #7

Written By: loki 13 on 02/08/09 at 2:36 pm

I believe Valley Girl was by Frank Zappa featuring Moon Unit (Who was 14 at the time of recording.)

Should this be correct Snozberries should get half credit for Moon Unit since she had a part in the song.  ;)

B might be Beat Surrender - The Jam

or Boxer Beat - Jo Boxers

Subject: Re: Doc's A-Z CryptiQuiz #7 (CLUES ADDED, NO LIMIT!)

Written By: Doc Brown on 03/07/09 at 1:21 am

Guys, guys, guys! There's still 6 to go and no one tries for a month? I know you can figure these out!
To be helpful, the "B" is not Boxer, Beat or anything close to that. Rethink the word 'delivered'.
On "C", a Captain is not a monarch. Where do you usually find 'pirates'?
And think of a short title with "N", the tries so far have been on the right track.
There hasn't been a single guess on "A", "G", or "P", though.
Quiz #8 is almost ready, so let's get cracking!

Your Pal,
Doc
