I agree. I thought for sure someone was going to get buzzed for a wrong answer. Speaking of buzzer, has anyone ever heard it ? Does it sound like this ?:

WRONG ! (turn on speakers, click on WRONG ! and press the play arrow)

[mandoann]

Sorry, I have to admit, I haven't kept up with this thread , but I thought of a question (hope it hasn't been asked already). I promise I won't ask anymore until I'm up to date on the thread!

My question: can you name a song which has the title of another song in its lyrics?

Song :
"Approaching Lavender"

Lyric :

The colors that surround you there will be the shade of Lavender
"Shadows" dancing everywhere, like flowers in the rain,"


Hi mandoann,

Maybe you should start a new thread with this ?

[geodeticman.5]

Oh,Linda! submits at 3:13 PM:

Q136 profusion.

Would that be Why Should I Feel Blue, as in...

I was caught drifting, disappearing from the land
Whitecaps in profusion all around me
But somehow in your eyes I found
The strength to sail upon that raging sea

Clue per database:Q136 ....profusion....


Song per submission:Why Should I Feel Blue
Song per database:Why Should I Feel Blue
CORRECT ANSWER !
Note: Lyrics were more than adequate as submitted, no additional database patch necessary.CONGRATULATIONS !

Well done on a hard one Oh, Linda!

That leaves just Q134

[geodeticman.5]

Oh,Linda! submits at 3:35PM:

Q134 remind you.

May I submit...

...well I'd like to say I'm sorry for the sinful deeds I've done, but let me first remind you I'm a patriotic son

from The Patriot's Dream.
These were tough!

Clue per database:Q134....remind you....

Song per submission:The Patriot's Dream.
Song per database:'The Patriot's Dream' ~gl

Oh,Linda!, your submitted lyrics patch is so thorough, I must compliment you, as I have no need whatsoever to
pull lyrics from my simple database and pseudo-code only so far,, not yet relational,
but it is getting there.. its cut down my reply *task* time to
easily less than a 1/3rd of the previously all-manually entered replies; however,
it has not yet completely solved my ability to respond categorically
in a time period that is not frustrating to you guys... I tried so hard to
catch you on-line today with your sucessful entries this evening, cause I saw you were still on-line. but alas, after QC'ing the replies of mine, you were logged out, also I think the case for RM, who I believe was on-line
when I pulled the rip-chord on the lyrics machine... !! we'll get in synch,
provided we are on-line at the same time, an almost random, but not quite.... occurence, what with work time, dinner-time, etc., or presumably close-together in a given time zone (not the case of course), however, as in Australia's Joveski,and...Dave, both of Melbourne, longitude can throw me a real sidewinder...time..changes...east-to-west..sideways, and winds..on some maps.....map humour...oh well.....hehe.... lol anyway, er...onward Maynard !

BACK TO YOUR CORRECT SUBMISSION !
CORRECT ANSWER !
CONGRATULATIONS !

Well done on a hard one Oh, Linda!

That nails all 6 ! Congratulations everyone !
Standby for new 6 Q's 139 - 144

[geodeticman.5]

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.... whaddamaedwinrronque ? lol

Sorry, I have to admit, I haven't kept up with this thread , but I thought of a question (hope it hasn't been asked already). I promise I won't ask anymore until I'm up to date on the thread!

My question: can you name a song which has the title of another song in its lyrics?

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,

[geodeticman.5]

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 !

[charlene]

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

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

[geodeticman.5]

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

[geodeticman.5]

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 !

[geodeticman.5]

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 !

Hi mandoann,

Maybe you should start a new thread with this ?

Hi Jesse Joe, you're right; I'll do that. (BTW, you thought of another one than I did!)

[geodeticman.5]

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....

Q139 - Circle of Steel

[geodeticman.5]

formerlylavenderposted at 6:47AM 9/25/08 The following:

Q139 - Circle of Steel

Clue per databaseQ139....going 'round....
Song submitted:Circle of Steel
Song per database:Note: Withheld due to ambiguity and error in position
Possible ambiguity, Let's check Lyrics Database for song submitted:Circle of Steel:
A time you know
Sights and sounds of the people going 'round
Everybody's in step with the season ~gl
Ruling: excellent try, if it were ambiguity alone, you'd still win it,; were it not for positioning, per the "dot rules" i.e. dots on both sides of clue indicate that the song is in the midst of the verse, neither at end, nor at the beginning. Sorry...Try again!

first part of the second party's second part, or the second part
of the first party's second part ? We can avoid having to go to a
deposition dat way - de position I'm in right now is somewhat
uncomfortable, and deposition I've been advised to take in the
deposition in deposition at the head of the table, if I am in de
position that warrants dat position at de table. What is your
position on de position ? Not de position you've been advised
totake, but de position you were in at delast deposition, where
de position you maintained was the uncomfortable position
regarding de positions at the deposition table, since we
manufacture orthopaedic chairs, or at least dat is de position
we've been told to take, we should herby insure de position we
are in , when we are at the depostion, in de position of the
chair, that is to say the chair of de position, I've been chair
once allready; you shoud be de chair is de position of the chair
in de position to say so, but physically in de position dat hurat
in dese chairs, as chair, in the chair, when I chair, or since
you are the chair now, chair de jour; in de position of de chair
anyway, how say you Mr Chair, are you in de position of having a
pre-disposition toward de position we must takeon de position of
de chairs we make when our custoenmrs are not comfortable in de
position they are professionaly adjusted to so as not to pre-
dispose their disposition or de position of the chair when they
are a chair of the deposition they are at when in one of our
hairs set in deposition of the orthopaedic support, at least
dat is my position, and my position now on dis chair, since I am
no longer chair, is I am damned predisposed and of bad
disposition in dis position, its a hell of a position you've put
us in Ron, both being de facto former chairs and chairs pro tem, and
chairs de jour, and by da way, duz yer chair in dat position
predispose you to dispose of de chair that the chair person is in
at de head of the table, that is to say the chair de jour, and de
jour back hurt in de position you are predisposed to be in de
chair, when you're chair, and the chair is in de position of
taking de position of de board, when de bored members of de board
are in comfortable positions in our chairs we make for them,
sufficiently comfortable to take a position in the deposition, de
position of de board of the chair company, and are they as
predisposed as we are ? I am prepared to take de position dat de
board is comprised of de bored members of de borad, partly
because deir position is too comfortable in deir chairs,
especiaslly de chair de jour of de board, de jour watch say its
time for the deposition to start ? and did we decide who is at
the table on de board, and who is on de cide in de chairs against
