Again, a 100% score on the titles! I don't know the Fool's Garden song, but you've got the title right (and this is all about titles).

Gee...I'm no good at Crypto Quizzes; that's why I seldom attempt them. :-\\

By the way, Michelle Branch also did a song called "Everywhere" (#24); you probly didn't intend to include that one.

09. Drop Da Bomb




Enola Gay - OMD




15. Keep drifting

22. Fantastic Voyage-David Bowie

Enola Gay - OMD

Float On - The Floaters


Both answers are correct, Karen! :)


8. Faded Love-Elvis Presley
22. Fantastic Voyage-David Bowie


#8 is not the song I'm looking for. If it's any help, I'm looking for a 2005 song.
As for #22: you've got the title right, so the point is yours. I don't know the David Bowie song, I'm afraid. :-[ (The artist I had in mind was Lakeside)

I think 14 is "Go Away", though I'm not sure about the artist for that one, either.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't begin with E or F...so it's not right.

To help you along: the first letter of the clue has been crossed out (I know it's hard to see). And I've also used a similar clue before...maybe there's a connection...? ::)

Sorry, I was confusing this with Doc's quiz for the moment. :-

Now that I look again, #3 has to be Boys II Men's "End Of The Road",
And though I'm not sure the year is right, could #14 be Rupert Holmes's "Escape"?

You've got that one right.

It's not Escape, I'm afraid. Try again. Like I said, there's a similar clue in the A/B-songs quiz, only this time I've crossed out the first letter... ::)

Crossed out the first letter on"Get Lost", Verrrrrrrrrrry Funny! It's "Eat It" by Weird Al, isn't it?
Well, that's what I get for including "Dare To Be Stupid" in mine, I guess.  ;)
I also nailed another, and can't believe it took me so long!
"Dauer 962" has to be Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"! And I'll keep trying!

Both are right, of course. As for Weird Al, yeah - I just couldn't resist... :D
And it surprises me to find out that apparently nobody is into Fast Cars around here...

Another ten days without replies...Time to give it up. I've filled in your blanks. ;)

There don't seem to be much Bruce Springsteen fans around these boards, seeing that neither Brilliant Disguise (in my A/B quiz) nor 57 Channels (And Nothing On) were recognized. ???
