Subject: Cliff Richard Lyrics Quiz (Killed)

Written By: Windbreaker05 on 01/19/06 at 8:14 pm

As if I didn't have enough quizzes open... sorry, I'll tone it down if I'm doing too many, but I was in the mood

All of these songs have been recorded by Cliff Richard. Give the title. I've tried to stick with reasonably popular tracks. A few of these have other reasonably popular versions as well, in case you're not a Cliff fan. No cheating. Enjoy!

Starting limit = 5
No more limit.

I guess these aren't doing very well. I'll make this easy. If you'd like to jog your memory for some titles to guess for these, you are now allowed to use this web source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Richard_discography.

I went ahead and revealed the rest. Thanks for playing everyone!

HINT: 1979 - charted UK - did not chart US - remade by Clout

18. Squeeze and hug me all through the night
Paul (Do You Wanna Dance)

19. Possess me and haunt me. Take any form or take none.
HINT: 1997 - charted UK, did not chart US - think Wuthering Heights
ANSWER: "Be With Me Always" ... this and "Misunderstood Man" were both hits for Cliff from the musical production Heathcliff

20. Many a tear has to fall
Whistledog (It's All In The Game)

21. It isn't right to be apart. We could be here wild in our wishes
HINT: 1991 - charted UK, did not chart US - Christmas theme
ANSWER: "We Should Be Together" - #10 UK hit, it's one of Cliff's pretty Christmas numbers

22. Well I'm not like that at all
Holicman (Some People)

23. I promised to call before the weekend was through. We'd all get together so she could meet you.

Hi again...just a few more...

#13. The excellent 'I Ain't Got Time Anymore', a reasonable cover was done for the American market by The Glass Bottle

#28. 'High Class Baby' - his second hit (after 'Move It'), which he reckoned was so bad that he believed his career was finished...

#30. Nearly 25 years later, his career was still going, with 'The Only Way Out'...
