Musical Scavenger Hunt

[Jughead]

Some of you have probably seen this game already on RL, but for those of you who haven't, here is how it works.

I'm going to put a list of objects on the screen. Your job is to find them within either song titles or song lyrics. When you do, please post proof of your findings (i.e. a snippit of the lyrics containing the word). If it is correct, I will cross it off and give you credit for it.

I am going to ask ALL of you to limit your hunt to TWO OBJECTS. After all, it is Homecoming weekend, and we want everyone to play, right?

Here's the list. And, happy hunting!

1. A FRAME
2. LONG-STEMMED ROSES
3. A SKIRT
4. A FREEWAY
5. A CADILLAC
6. A NUMBER (not an actual number...just the word "number")
7. A BULLET
8. A CLOCK
9. COCA-COLA
10. A CAMERA
11. SHOES
12. A MOUNTAIN
13. A BIRD
14. A QUEEN
15. MEDICINE
16. A GEEK
17. AN INTIMATE RESTAURANT
18. COMPUTER GAMES
19. A CALENDAR
20. A POTATO

Remember...only TWO items per person to give everyone a chance...and there may be more than one answer for each item. I'll accept almost anything.

Good luck!

"Jailbreak" AC/DC (A Bullet)
"Computer Game" Yellow Magic Orchestra

Image of a Girl - The Safaris ("And now the Clock is still passing time")


Killer Queen - Queen ("She's a Killer Queen")

Cool game, Juggie!

I'll take #9. Coca-Cola
Come Together - The Beatles ("He shoot Coca-Cola")
and
#10. A Camera
Kodachrome - Paul Simon ("I've got a Nikon camera...")

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

1. a frame-"3x5"-John Mayer ("tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame") This would have worked for "a camera" too, although he sings that he _didn't_ have one.

20. a potato-"Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"-standard written by George Gershwin ("you say 'po-tay-to', I say "po-tah-to") This has been recorded by lots of people; Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald did it as a duet.

(Juggie, does my answer for #20 count--since it's not really about a potato, but about how to pronounce the word "potato"?)

I remember back when I was a kid there was a man and woman morning radio show on every morning when I got up, and they'd sing "you say po-tay-to" almost every morning. So I associate that song with having to get up to go to school. I hate that $#@@% song!!

I love the song, but I would probably have gotten tired of it under those circumstances too.

I don't REALLY hate the song, Laura. I thought you'd get the reference to that RL thread.

Give it a few more hours so that more people can take part.

I'll let you know.

I'll take # 5 (a Cadillac) and go with "Cadillac Ranch" by Bruce Springsteen

Also # 13 (a bird) and go with "Bird on a Wire" by Aaron Neville.

Good game, Juggie

I'll even offer up a few clues for the other items.
