The band was Manfred Mann's Earth Band (the 70's version of 60's group Manfred Mann, famous for "Do Wah Ditty" and "The Mighty Quinn") What made this song special? I dunno. George

It sounds a lot like Haydn or Handel (not quite inventive enough for Mozart). As to who may have performed it in the 60's -- no idea. It does remind me of several disco "remakes" of some classics: "Thus Spake Zarathustra"*; "Night on Disco (Bald) Mountain"; and my favorite, "Joy," a peppy version of "Jesu, Joy of Man'd Desiring." George * best known these days as the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey"

I was a little confused about those two as well, but it was my best guess. Anyway: George

Ken, It seems that most of us know the name of the western, so go ahead and give it away! George P.S. I knew this one when I first heard it. I just didn't hear it until now!

I think we need another clue. George

"Remember the Titans"? George

Kathy's second pic was from "Dr. Strangelove," or more properly, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." George

Ah, but Bruce Campbell has a charm all his own. I loved his work in "Xena" and "Jack of All Trades," as well as "Brisco County, Jr." And you've got to love the title of his autobiography: If Chins Could Kill. George

He's insinuating that it's from "Babes in Toyland." George

Okay, to wake the rest of you up (and to move this thread to the top -- so there, Sudo, nyah, nyah!), here's one that SHOULD give it away: My father hung me on a hook once...ONCE! George

If I were to make a wild, wild guess, I'd say it's a western. B) George

I doubt tht this is right, but could it be "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" by Ray Stevens? George

When I was young (pre-teen), I had a few recurring nightmares, involving either my being chased or being abandoned. They just vanished; I don't know why. I do, occasionally, have a "boogeyman" dream; but they are usually presaged by my inability to turn on the lights. I know then that it's a dream and either wake up or "direct" the dream to something more interesting. I occasionally have the "back-in-school" dream, where I'm not sure how to get to my next class. My last real class was 25 years ago, so some things linger quite a while. A more recent variant of that dream has been my coming to a band rehearsal (or concert) and being unable to find my instrument or the music. I occasioanlly also have "bathroom" dreams, where I'm looking for a rest room. I doubt there's much psychology involved, because when I wake up I really DO have to use the bathroom! And, yeah, Chef. Sometimes I dream I'm naked in public. At least nobody's laughing!! George

Interesting choice of words... :D Actually, it wasn't bad, though I didn't feel like clapping along. George

Which means, TOTW, that you get to give the next clue! George

I don't recognize it at all. Which is odd, if it's been done several times. :unsure: George

It's an 88 Magnum. It shoots t'rough schools! George

I agree with hiway about Fizzies. The carbonation was all they had going for them. They tasted awful. I think his "new" batch was probably the same, he just might not remember how they really used to taste. :( George

Raf likes to take the weekend off. He'll have something for us soon. George

Sounds like "Pirates of the Caribbean" to me. George

Obviously we're on "autoedit." That's not what I typed, of course. I remember a few months ago we couldn't type "Pe$*@!ta Aramaic" or "$*@!ake mushrooms." George And apparently, we can't again!

Hiway was correct, of course. Though most people remember Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, she was preceded by Honor Blackman as Catherine Gale in early B&W episodes. Diana was replaced by Linda Thorson as Tara King (my personal favorite) in the last season of the original Avengers. Joanna Lumley played Purdey in "The New Avengers" for two seasons in the mid-70's. All opposite the unflappable Patrick MacNee as John Steed. Honor Blackman was also, of course, wimp Galore in "Goldfinger." Diana Rigg was Tracy Di Vicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The latter film was the only to star George Lazenby as Bond, and the only time Bond actually married. (Of course, "Tracy" had to die.) When "The Avengers" first aired in the States, I thought it was about the Marvel super-hero group. I was disappointed to find out otherwise, but I grew to enjoy the show immensely. The 1998 film was okay, but a bit of a disappointment. George

What do these four women have in common? This should help: Listen only if you can't guess George P.S. What else did the first two have in common?

I don't recognize Rick's song, but it sounds like Steely Dan (famous for the creepy "Rikki Don't Lose that Number"). Kathy's song is by the Byrds, though. George

Sorry. I wasn't paying close enough attention. I thought Doojable got the clue, not Chas. (I didn't see Chas sneak in!) Chas is up, of course. George
