Subject: Doc's A-Z CryptiQuiz 15 [FINITO, NALLY WINS THE FINAL ROUND!]
Written By: Doc Brown on 03/19/15 at 12:38 am
AND SO, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
Never think for a second that I didn't have fun writing all these quizzes, but I must finally and officially admit that this is my last one. I have simply run out of songs!
Still hoping that a friend will take up my mantle and begin writing more, preferably starting with A&B, C&D, E&F and so on, like Henk, Tanya & I used to do it. When I thought I was running out the last time, these lists were pretty much bonus rounds! ;D
Whatever happens from now on, it has been my honor to raise Henk's intellectual invention to the art form we have made it, now if only I could have a chance to play! Starting Limit: Lifted, and if you're smart enough to play, you're smart enough that you don't need to cheat. So, let the final game begin!
A. decades behind us
nally - George Harrison, "All Those Years Ago"
B. 20's Beantown dance
loki - Steely Dan, "Boston Rag"
C. affection's shade
mistress - Billy Ocean, "Color Of Love"
D. quit prodding moi to speed!
nally - Taylor Dayne, "Don't Rush Me"
E. each of the lady's small tasks are sorcery
nally - Police, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"
F. excessive liberty leakage
gibbo - Steve Winwood, "Freedom Overspill"
G. age following retirement
gibbo - David Bowie, "Golden Years"
H. in what way am I able to say no?
nally - Heart, "How Can I Refuse?"
I. personally unable to explain
gibbo - Eagles, "I Can't Tell You Why"
J. sexy rainforest dance
mistress - Kool & The Gang, "Jungle Boogie"
L. madame has no objection
Henk - Talking Heads, (The) "Lady Don't Mind"
M. romantic transmission
loki - Journey, & Philip - "Message Of Love"
N. in Mother Earth's course
MISTRESS! - Huey Lewis & The News, "Naturally" (Selena Gomez would also have been accepted.)
O. shore across the river
mistress - Aerosmith, (The) "Other Side"
P. deadly chemical
nally - Alice Cooper, "Poison"
R. story's going around
gibbo - Adele, "Rumor Has It"
S. certain items should remain without mention
mistress - Hall & Oates, "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid"
T. Mt. Everest's peak
nally - Van Halen, & Philip - "Top Of The World" (Can't believe this one stayed up so long!)
W. astronomer?
loki - Genesis, "Watcher Of The Skies"
Y. thou sports the thing nicely
nally - Rod Stewart, "You Wear It Well"
Score: Philip - 1, nally - 6 1/2, gibbo - 4, loki - 2 1/2, mistress - 5 1/2, Henk - 1.
Your Pal,
Doc

Hey, c'mon guys! nearly 2 weeks and no one even ventures a guess anymore? I realize you don't want the magic to end, but I have to pass the torch on sometime. I added clues for the last 2(and 2 halves), and I trust someone is ready to become the new CryptiQuizMaster. Think hard now!
