Subject: Doc's A-Z CryptiQuiz 11 [FINITO AT LAST, LOKI TELLS US ALL, NEVER GIVE UP!]
Written By: Doc Brown on 06/29/14 at 7:16 pm
I'M BAAAAAAACK!
Yes, quiz fans. It's been 3 or 4 years since I've messed with your minds this way, but while I missed doing it, I am still very short on songs I haven't used. Still, I would like someone to pick up the torch and begin writing them again, so I came up with 1 or 2, maybe even 3 to post and hopefully get the torch lit again. You all remember the rules, I hope, and we have the usual Starting Limit: Lifted. Have fun, and let's bring back the Classic CryptiQuiz!
A. following every trip around the sun
loki - Journey, "After All These Years"
B. nuns of Nebuchadnezzar
maddog - Steely Dan, "Babylon Sisters" (SHAKE IT, MD! ;))
C. existence's rotation
karen - Elton John, "Circle Of Life"
D. Irish wake?
loki - Oingo Boingo, "Dead Man's Party" (this one seemed so simple... ::) )
E. burning forever
nally - Bangles, "Eternal Flame"
F. invert Disney's concert feature
Henk - Us3 & karen - "Flip Fantasia"
G. begin the celebration!
nally - Pink(or P!nk), "Get The Party Started"
H. Golden State Inn
loki - Eagles, "Hotel California"
I. personally infatuated with Hollywood
loki - Randy Newman, "I Love L.A."
J. simply 24 more hours
loki - Jon Secada, "Just Another Day"
L. final soft-shoe
loki - Donna Summer, "Last Dance"
M. FM Acapulco
nally - Wall Of Voodoo, "Mexican Radio"
N. personal lack of discipline
maddog, Peter Gabriel, "No Self-Control"
O. certain single port
loki - Jimmy Buffett, "One Particular Harbor" (I tried this one before and no one solved it.)
P. 8:00-11:00 P.M.
loki - Alan Parsons Project, "Prime Time"
R. one count theft, two counts mugging
loki - Genesis, "Robbery, Assault & Battery"
S. walking from the indoors
maddog - Joe Jackson, "Steppin' Out"
T. 3:35, maybe 3:34 A.M.
loki - Chicago, "25 or 6 to 4"
W. the town here was constructed by us folks
karen - Starship, "We Built This City"
Y. thou is the only young lady
loki - Cars, "You Are The Girl"
Score: nally - 3, loki - 11.5, Karen - 2.5, maddog - 3, Henk - .5.
Your Pal,
Doc

C'mon, boys and girls. I added clues that should make the rest of these a bit easier, so let's not give up, and try to finish the quiz. BTW, still trying to get #13 done.

For letter F. (Flip Fantasia) I think you're looking for US 3 as the performing artists.
I'm a bit confused here because I only know that song as Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia). :-\\

D. Irish wake?
loki - Oingo Boingo, "Dead Man's Party" (this one seemed so simple... ::) )

That was throwing me off as well, it wasn't until I was watching Rodney Dangerfield's Back To School that I had the
AHA moment. The sad part is, that was part of the clue. :-[

The Alan Parsons Project came on.
