yes RM, I did try the buzzer, and while fearful of singlehandedly imploding corfid into Dark Matter, what with the HADRON and all,
I couldn't even get the buzzer....:confused::redface: whaddamaedwinrronque ? lol :biggrin::p

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

mandoann submits at 6:52PM

No problem for asking, mandoann, I will think on this (I mean try to think of song-within -a-song, not whether we could do it; after all, this is a democracy in here.. !), besides, the thread is called ....quizzers and more ! - we don't do much of the & more ! hmmmm if ppl enjoy it, it could be a regular thing, or similar questions...it is hard to be the Alex Trebek accurately and timely, but the code I wrote has helped that immensely. Would you want to host those Q's you suggestmandoann,hypothetically ? I'd be hapy to do it, n/p/ , but all should share in all fun aspects of the game. I DO enjoy my Alex Trebek work...it is more work than most would guess.... trying to come up with one-word clues for these whizzes ! And unique to the song, as possible, is the real challenge... "profusion" was a good case of unique to the song... and interestingly , it seemed to be the hardest question. !
Thanks,

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Jesse Joe, mon amis,

I'll try: je ne pa knwoem youum werum oh heck I can't do this in French, I thought I could...lol ..sorry...doing mandoann's song within a song allready - very clever answer. 2 songs within a song. That could , however, single-handedly implode corfid and create a wave of DarkMatter !:biggrin::whistle:

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

"All I'm After" has the word/song title "Tattoo"..

All I'm after is to be the flame in your tattoo..

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Yes ! Char! - u 2 are gettin those left and right lol

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Just a reminder guys, all new Q's 139 - 144 are in the mixer.... and BTW - check out mandoann's interesting question/game proposition of such questions as: can you think of a song-within-a-song title ? - and blammo - 3 correct answers right away !

What do you think of other types of quiz Q's being added ? I liked that one. Remember very early on in the game, I tried some "anachronistics" I think they are called, words spelled backwards of songs, etc., diidn't seem popular, however, thats no yardstick as to the popularity and fun of other ideas...its just why I stopped and stuck to the sets of 6....until ... the BONUS RARITIES - which ultimately went well, but interestingly, not because he owned them, but off the top of the head ! wow !
SO Q's 139 - 144 in a matter of minutes !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

OK guys, all new Q's, a

set of 6 new CLUES , FOR Q's 139 - 144!

and maybe not-quite-as-hard as the last 6,

based upon comments....

Q139....going 'round....

Q140....cause in....

Q141....as strong

Q142....tide shall....

Q143 Now....

Q144....above

Please remember, if anything for the benefit of new members"
and/or: folks new to Lightfoot, the "ideal" submission form:
as possible, realizing the limitations of answering off the top of the head.
When possible, this will satisfy the requests Char had, for all' benefit:
A. Song Title - with
~gl credited,
or as a propos, ~Dylan etc.,
B. The lyrics patch of at least two verses/lines
C. wherein lie the CLue word(s) as you wish for clarity.

HAVE FUN !



I do stand by the value of off-the-top-of-the-head
responses, as the demonstration of skill and familiarity with
Lightfoot songs, and I also know this lends to
what can be incomplete lyrics patches, the clue is hard
enough to get in your head and the song title I know,
so, just as possible. Far better that
(incomplete lyrics patches) than people taking to looking up
in Lightfoot! etc., and essentially cheating ! -
exceptions made have been of good judgement, as
in getting the game going again, as Ron did wisely.
I have taken to Wayne's
World Lightfoot's datum for insertion into
my pseudo-code , and thank/credit Wayne Francis for that. I ought
to send him an e-mail formerly asking for permission, as a
courtesy; I've no doubt as to his response, but it would be the
right thing to do, as my database grows, and eventually becomes
relational database ! I have taken to using database/Wayne's
World-Lighfoot! datum for verification, to avoid error and hasten
the response time, and frankly avoid errors on my part.
Originally I did all off the top of my head as you guys, but it
went to slow on responses of mine. My database also keeps a
record of questions ( I have to backfill from about 120 and
back), clues, song title, lyrics, winner's name, etc., too.


and, again:
HAVE FUN !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Yes mandoann Jesse Joe's idea of another thread is goood, cause then you would not be encumbered by pace of this game - I like your idea - seemed to have positive results ! Good luck - anx hope you still join us in here ! - Oh Linda working on your results in another windown dbase cranking.... :)

the link didnt work for me, rm...took me to amazon canada...i was hoping for a cheap buzz

2 of my faves jump out for 140 and 141 if still up for grabs (i am trying to catch up by reading the past few pages of stuff and it's quite mindblowing actually)

140 - drink yer glasses empty - one less "cause in" the world to be living for

141 - i'd do anything - my love for you is ten times "as strong" DOT DOT DOT

143 - i would need to use my phone a friend for this one....actually, i'd need to phone gord or mr google

hope all's well, all...lots of reviews to catchup on, great stuff

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

hmmm, i see there are a few answers and am not sure if there are dot dot rules applicable here but:

"Softly" is a song title and likely is a lyric used in several tunes....Rosanna for eg....the fire "softly" glows as shadows dance upon the walls (or something like that)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Sorry about that. I don't know why it works on this end but not the other. However, I am starting to talk funny.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

wow, its funny how i can sing the lyrics, know the actual line and not being able to place the song title? :)

is #150 'Is there anyone home' (does anyone inside know my name?)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Hey Joveski - oh man that is SO close, its not the intended song, but anymore thats OK if it WORKS, but here are the lyrics in full, cause even I thought you were right, its in the song, and its like just about my vaourite "ethereal song as Gord puts it) but you look, too, I see variations, but not a "does anyone"

re:Q#150 'Is There Anyone home' as subnitted by Joveski:

take alook, I'd be happy to give it to you as an ambiguous case, but I don;t see it. I do applaud you doin it off of thetop of your head, the way
the game is intended, but before I tell someone they are wrong I do double check Wayne's World:

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone
Anyone inside know my name
I've been around for a half a hundred days
Never saw a door shut so tight
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering child in the wilderness
Wild and uncaged on your wings
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir

There's a light around you, I've come to switch it on
It will brighten every room
Don't be ashamed if you feel
A whole lot warmer in you[r][sic][ heart]
You got that feeling in your soul

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone
Anyone in there who might care
I've grown weary and wise and I feel much amazed
Got a few good tales to unwind
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun

Like any wandering minstrel at dawn
In the house of a thousand delights
I think I heard, someone stir
(Repeat 5 times


SO close Joveski, sorry man, try again, I'll give you a hint : A mother and a father are referred to in it. (The song that DOES have the clue words)


Good luck Mende :cool::headbang::headbang::biggrin:

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I am fallin out o my chair i am so tired - wish I could play longer now that someone is in the room...I'll check in tomorrow on you with this one.
