Written By: loki 13 on 07/07/14 at 5:35 pm

I thought for sure I had K correct with Kometenmelodie 1. Given the year of the clue and the inspiration for
the song I didn't think it could be wrong. I did look up the actual inspiration for the song and there appears
to be a song with the exact title though it's release is quite a few years after the clue year. It any event I
will not give the song nor band in case it is correct because I looked it up. Oh well, such is life.

OK, I gave you more clues. I really didn't think these were so hard, but then I'm always surprised. Let's try to find a winner here!

Okay, I think I finally have K. It is not the one I looked up though it is the same title. I found this by
accident, looking through my albums. It was by accident because it isn't my album. I have no idea how
it found it's way into my collection....fate maybe? anyway.

K...Kohoutek....Journey?

To me, at least 6 of the songs in this quiz are absolutely obscure.

Based on the clues, I think E. must be Empty Garden by Elton John.

Still no idea on the remaining ones. :-\\

Let it go....Is this the same same Let it go that is being drilled into my head by my granddaughter
from the movie Frozen? Is Idina Menzel the artist you seek?

This tells you how much I am up on new music. I am getting schooled in PMs and by my 8 year old
granddaughter.

I answer this only because my granddaughter says so, and because this artist was on "Good Morning America"
this morning. Is the correct artist Demi Lovato?

I must say, Kevin...I'm impressed. I only knew 6 of the songs in this quiz (and not even all of those by heart!)
