As to "knowing enough to play" --do you mean the "6 Degrees" concept alludes you, or your music history is lacking? Neither should keep you away next time. If it's the latter, think of this as a way of getting really sharp with using wikipedia and other online tools, AND you get to learn some little bit of music history in the process. If it's the former (which I don't think it is) I would be happy to explain the "6 degress" concept which is what drives the game play, clues, etc...

Not close to the clues though but she did have a great voice. I read she recorded it in one take. Mike, I didn’t know what that mileage clue and the moon was, but Peter Allen came up with the line when he was stuck on a plane at JFK. One story was that he was waiting to take off and the moon was between JFK and NYC. Another story says he was in a holding pattern. The clue didn’t throw me though because I was stuck listening to a Carpenter’s song that wasn’t in the mix…great game!

Craig, I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and next iteration will be streamlined and all kinks gone. I didn't know that was Peter Allen's line! A much better one than the filler, "I know it's crazy/but it's true." And the thing is, no one can ever make an analogy/metaphor, like that, again, it can only be done once, and so Peter Allen got their first and OWNS that bit of songwriting real estate. --I mean, between "Pluto and Poughkeepsie" won't cut it, especially after Peter Allen's. So okay, that line was never gonna cut it, but you get my drift. Mike Last edited by Michael Zaneski; 09/17/23 05:06 PM.

I watched it and found Allen to be a fine host--he toned down the flamboyance enough to be mainstream, so am curious why this particular incarnation of NTT didn't get past the pilot stage--why no one picked it up. He would be dead from an AIDS related throat cancer less than two years after that pilot. Last edited by Michael Zaneski; 09/18/23 03:14 AM.

Same here. Looking at it, the 1990-91 season had three CBS game shows during daytime TV: The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Family Feud. No prime time game shows. Seems like TV execs. try and use new shows to get ratings and to knock off competing shows in a particular time slot. The show moved to New Zealand I think?

Did people go to their show expecting a different band? Note to self: look up bands named after (or similarly) to other recording artists, such as a band named "Isaac Haze." Clue # 2 The song made the band famous, but the band never made the song famous....well sort of....even more confusing??? That could be the case if the song came from a show? The song would be famous, already, coming from a famous show (thinking out loud) The first two clues also point to the possibility of a song co-opted by sports, such as "You'll Never Walk Alone" but one that actually has the right letters. Clue # 3 In one country the song peaked at #27 before it peaked at #1...huh??? Well a song can't peak at two different numbers in the same country! So your ellipses must mean "before it peaked at #1 in a different country" --or Belguim, France, ChooseYourPoison... I'm guessing USA is #27 which matches "bit of a hit". Clue # 4 (last before bedtime) You might want to enlist the help of John Voorpostel...he might know something about it Note to self: check song lists where taxes, accounting/accountants, and lurkers/lurking are themes...

Certainly, a song can re-enter the charts and climb higher, the second time around, but technically, isn't there still one "peak" --in this case the latter re-entry?

"You ain't the bloody Who! Get off the stage!!!" Then Burton turns to the band and goes, okay, boys, 1,2,3,4 "PEOPLE TRY TO PUT US D D D D DOWN..." Clue # 2 The song made the band famous, but the band never made the song famous....well sort of....even more confusing??? Who actually made the song more famous? The Who? The original artist, Johnny Kidd? Clue # 3 In one country the song peaked at #27 before it peaked at #1...huh??? Australia #27 Clue # 4 (last before bedtime) You might want to enlist the help of John Voorpostel...he might know something about it --cuz he's Canadian Clue # 5 One of the coolest promotions ever was about this song.... ??? Clue # 6 The song was the biggest single for the decade in which it was released in one of the countries Maybe Canada? Clue # 7 The lead singer of the band is considered one of the best voices ever in all of Rock, but he wasn't the lead on the song.... Burton Cummings Jr. He was THEE best, IMHO. Clue # 10 An improvised song by this band became a monster #1 hit in the US... American Woman Clue #11 One of the band members left to form another great rock band Randy Bachman (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) Clue #12 The member who left the band had his guitar stolen in 1976....he got it back 45 years later...this should give it away Randy Bachman Last edited by Michael Zaneski; 09/19/23 02:53 PM.

In fact, if you had asked me yesterday who did "Shakin' All Over" --I would have said, "great song, but holy crap...who DID do that song?" --my guess might've been "The Who" --and only because I bought "Live At Leeds" (crackling noises okay, LOL) album when I was 12 or something.

Chad Allen And The Expressions made it famous in N/A, Johnny Rowe in Australia., Johnny Kidd in UK..I think The Who played it out of necessity... I was looking for the band in N/A in my opening statement Also here are a few other songs by The Guess Who Stand Tall These Eyes No Sugar Tonight American Woman Clap For The Wolfman Share The Land No Time Undun Why aren't these guys in The RRHOF????

Listen to "Undun," "Laughing" (at least the verses), and "These Eyes" --NO ONE wrote like that, outside of Europe. Those are the ones I consider their best, with "No Time" being a close fourth. They most definitely deserve to be in The RRHOF. Steve, best puzzle yet, but sorry Craig wasn't around. Maybe I'll PM him next time, if his PM's are hooked up to his email, he might want to be alerted... Oh, and I had never seen this (the ad I think you were referring to): Last edited by Michael Zaneski; 09/19/23 03:21 PM.

They were listening to Bacharach and Webb and European writers like Brel, to come up with that verse melody. Love this song. In a boxing ring with The Bee Gee's "I Started A Joke" I might be in a minority to like "Laughing" better. ISAJ is a bit too melodramatic for me. Last edited by Michael Zaneski; 09/19/23 03:56 PM.
