Trivia from songs

Correct!

If I recall, we both kind of liked it.

New one:
I put you where you are now. What else can I do?

And I can put you back down too. (Don’t. Don’t you want me?)

Well, that’s one thing we got.

Jack Batty’s right as well.

He may leave you and never return.

What are the ministers super-scurrying over?

What is the going price for a coconut?

While that may be true, it is not the answer I was expecting.

I was born in Mechanicsburg. Where did my daddy work?

New York’s fine, but it ain’t what?

99 Red Balloons

It is indeed the bell of freedom. I bet people would soon get pretty annoyed with me ringing it morning and evening all over this land though!

Home? (Seems a bit too obvious, but I think this is Neil Diamond, probably I Am I Said.)


Maybe I am making them too hard, but I do not think any of the following, from upthread, have been got yet, so I am reposting (with a little editing in some cases to try to make them a tiny bit easier). One or two may be just a little bit (not dreadfully) obscure, but most are certainly quite well known songs. (Apologies to you if you answered one of these already and I missed it.)

  • Actually just one other, so far as I am aware, so no, it isn’t Patty Boyd-Harrison-Clapton!

She has a house and garden. She lingers long there. On what street does she live? (And how well do I think I like it, so far?)

If I fill my head with glue I will never get to heaven, but what letter and what number will it be?

Nope. Actually, I thought this might be too obscure (and it may be!), but I checked and the song DID hit #37 on the Billboard 100.

She lives on Love Street. You think you like it fine, so far.

♪La la la
La la la la la…♫

Darn, you are right. In I Am I Said it is L.A. that is fine but not home, and New York is home (“but it ain’t mine no more”).

Yes, and I would like to see what happens!

They’ve tilted to one side.

Who does Jesus love more than they will know?

You are correct sir.

Mrs. Robinson.

Who should I get a dose of in jackboots and kilt?
