Subject: A different sort of quiz, hoar low fur

Written By: philbo_baggins on 06/13/03 at 07:05 a.m.

A different sort of quiz, inspired by these nonsense lyrics... to make it simpler, all these are Beatles songs.  What you have to do is translate the clue into something that sounds like a song title...

For example (and this is a bit more complicated than most of the ones below):
Nasty sight of funeral car - go brown with noise belonging to them
=Eyesore / hearse / tan / din / their
...obviously "I saw her standing there"

If I get too many complaints that it's too hard, I'll add some clues

Clues are in green

1. A name I call myself, what a snail carries on his back
  Me Shell=Michelle Tao
2. Consumed little flower for seven days
  Ate Daisy Week=Eight Days a Week Tao
3. Israeli with unusually long shins
  High kneed jew=I need you Tao
4. Small, round vegetable, agreed?  Christmas Island?
  Christmas Island=Isle of Yule
  Pea yes, Isle of Yule=PS I Love You Bobo
5. Tend one thing or the other a characteristic Elmer Fudd might have
  An Elmer Fudd characteristic would be a 'Twait'
  Care either twait=Carry That Weight Bobo
6. Overcoat grows - young eel coiffure, mother
  For overcoat, think macintosh
  Mac swells elver hair, ma=Maxwells Silver Hammer Bobo
7. Poem that praises is plural Heather
  A poem that praises is an 'Ode'... 'Ling' as any regular crossword puzzler will tell you is a kind of heather, and if you can't get it from that...
  Ode are ling=Oh, Darling Boris...eventually ;-)
8. Bird's mouthpiece, Australian shortly
  Beak Oz=Because Rock Princess
9. Meat from a pig gets older with drink made from leaves
  She is a pretty nice girl
  Ham ages tea=Her Majesty IG
10.Finger
  This one's the easiest of the lot.  Honestly
  Digit=Dig It Bobo


Enjoy!

Oh, come on Boris... the only bit that's missing is, in effect, the plural of "is" - it's only missing one syllable
