Well done, **Enginerd**!! > [@Le\_Ministre\_de\_l\_au-dela](#): > > IQ1: Did John Lennon call you ‘a stupid git’ when he was tired? > > IQ2: Did Archie Leech show you the erotic possibilities of Russian? > > IQ3: Are you famous for re-inventing songs from many different genres in your own jazz-folk-roots style? Just to wrap up - 1. was Sir Walter Raleigh, from the song ‘I’m so tired’ from the White Album. 2. was Wanda from the film ‘A Fish Called Wanda’. Archie Leech was the name of John Cleese’s character. 3. was Cassandra Wilson, whose albums ‘New Moon Daughter’ and ‘Belly of the Sun’ featured covers of ‘The Weight’, ‘Wichita Lineman’ and ‘Last Train to Clarksville’ that were completely genre-bent. ---
