If Rebo redoes the calculations, for 12 days of Xmas, then she should combine these two as well.

Yes I will - this evening, since this scoring sheet is at home. Sorry about that.

Actually, the one I thought you were excluding was the Metallica song.

And despite being below the mean, I think I did pretty well for having missed 2525.

I assumed the banned song was the song from “A Chorus Line.” I didn’t even think about U2 until the answers were posted

I have you all beat. I didn’t even _know_ there was a U2 song by that name. 😉

Yeah, I had some - I thought the title of the song was simply “Seventeen.” Amazon says it is too.

\<shamelessly pandering for a possibly better score\>

Dolores, if you’re rescoring, \*\*RNATB \*\*and I both had this song, so that should be 2 votes for it. He listed it as “She’s only 17” and I listed it as “Seventeen.”

Pretty please?

No? Ah, I’ll live. Hopelessly midpack, as usual.

Woo Hoo!  
BTW I love Winger (Reb Beach is one of my favorite guitarists) but I didn’t think anyone else would!🙂
