Hey Ron, how you doin ? We meet again, in this town, that is not big enough, for the both of us, no ? Geo steve slips his duster back around behind his holster.... ..Naw... I won't go down that road again tonight...lol... it IS fun ,though. Hope you've been well. You, Sir, have gotten the second ambiguous case in this list ! I must be slippin.... That is a totally valid answer.
Why do I not think of the IYCRMM's ? The BIG ONES What am I, a mind reader ? lol...

Actually, I had intended "Ring Neck Loon", which works, too, thusly:
(ya like that little green/white ring neck thing in the song name ?

)
GL to wit:
Ringneck loon, you can't rest, you're a loonie and you don't care less
Ringneck loon, my old friend, been a loon since he don't know when - Ring Neck Loon ~gl

But you get Q115 Ron, because we settled awhile back that if I surveyed for all possible ambiguous cases, we'd never play the game ! lol... then again, I think it was jj suggesting I build a relational database for GL lyrics. Very generous with my time, he is - lol j/k jj ! But,
Off-the-shelf relational database' are rife in "Vanilla" form, it would only take a little customizing and then of course the most laborious part -the data entry - but a coded info dump would do, the source of that GL dataset is what I am not aware of... maybe I'll ask Wayne Francis at Wayne's World...party on Garth ! I hope everyone knows I am kidding, the site is: Lightfoot! and if you havn't heard of it ( a new fan, or..you been on Mars or something) its well worth spending time at: http://www.lightfoot.ca ( Lightfoot!)

Wayne,& PlumbGuru2 (Now "Doug" I think), Shirley H.,& Talbot10 -do you remember?) was one of the originals at the GL chat that PRECEEDED alt.music.lighfoot and danged if I remember the name.... I was drooling rather heavily then in a body cast lol.....that was when I had the original "Mapman" handle ( now taken many times over, then GISMAN, now taken many times over, and of course now my current arcane handle you'd have to be a quasi-tellurroid monk to want..lol... that IS a relevant term... lol....other than "monk"

Back to Ron's winning, BTW. CONGRATULATIONS ,RON, Q115....don't know.... thus:

I don't know where we went wrong but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
- If You Could Read My Mind ~gl

OK that leaves 4 more Q's 116,117,118,& 120
