*applauds* You've got it in one! Alan Reed, George Peppard, Buddy Ebsen, Patricia Neal and Mickey Rooney were all in that, and played those other roles. Deep Blue Something had a hit with the song "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Your turn.

My opening remarks are going to be fairly brief (for me), and address the general framework and mindset differences. For any of a number of reasons, the Book of Genesis was written to be clear and easy-to-be-understood by the people at the time it was penned. If the "creation account" and "the fall" of Genesis 1-3 were written for modern sensibilities, it would have been written (for the same number of reasons) with some highly technical details, it would have been far more exhaustive in detail, and would have proceeded in a far more linear fashion. One common mistake, IMHO, in reading Genesis is in refusing to approach it like it was "meant" to be read, that is, with a literary mindset that matches the text and not 21st century books. (The differences between early 20th century books and now can be dramatic- so the idea that, further back, there's GREATER differences, should not be particularly odd. One additional problem, which this writer didn't make, is when people assume that we invented figures of speech or extended figures of speech. We have no difficulty understanding them when they're used in modern settings, but when it comes to old settings, some people seem to think they didn't exist. Example 1: Christopher Lee sang "The Bloody Verdict of Verden." It dramatizes an incident from Charlemagne's life, where thousands of Saxons were killed at Charlemagne's order. Lee plays Charlemagne in the song. "I shed the Blood of the Saxon men! I shed it at Verden! I shed the Blood of the Saxon men! I shed the Blood of four thousand Saxon men!" Nobody takes him to mean that Charlemagne himself stood there at Verden and slew all 4000 personally. Example 2: We have no difficulty imagining the use of animals to METAPHORICALLY describe people now. "The old sidewinder", "that pig", "you cow", and so on. When we do so, we're comparing some attribute of the person (real or imagined) to the animal's attributes (real or imagined). We have no problem with an extended metaphor comparing one to the other, and understand we're not speaking, say, of a literal fox, or a literal wolf, or whatever. Anyway, I haven't connected any of this to the topic yet, but I plan to, if anyone cares. Peace and love.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_rock Bands include Yes, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Procul Harum and the Moody Blues, among others.

If it's Alice Cooper and not Marilyn Manson (Alice Cooper ripoff), then I don't know what show he was compared to. I'll stand by for more clues.

A) Thanks in advance for the notice that the site MIGHT go down temporarily. It's good to know in advance. B) I'm glad you're here, and I hope you're feeling better. I can only speak for me, but I'll do my personal best not to be combative or disagreeable. It's your show, and it's fair that you set the standards.

I don't think there's any problem with cartoons, but there was a big kerfluffle over Politics some years back. Right after 9-11, posters were all buzzing about it, and the forum for that slowly, slowly morphed into a Politics forum. It was a disaster to moderate, it was nasty, it was divisive, and Paw was about to pull the plug on the entire website over it, when the decision was made to shut down the Politics forum. Not a problem, since the GSC has nothing to do with politics anyway, and would not have if 9-11 hadn't happened. Since then, the staff has been trying to keep politics off the board. I expect one will be along shortly to either confirm that, or to say I was incorrect and cartoons are fine.

Ok, now here's a link I'm confident we've never done before..... Vic Tayback Dead Heat On A Merry-Go-Round Harrison Ford

Sigh. You know what? I'm going to take this seriously and answer it, just not at this hour. I'll get back to it and go over the framework of the question, in my way, and answer everything I can think to answer. It almost certainly won't be in the order it was asked, and it will go on for a while, but it will be read-able. And I may need a few posts over a few days to cover everything, but that would allow me to cover something and post it, then get back to it.

I'm lost also, so I'll await someone else's guess, or another clue. Although it's not usually a good idea to keep posting clues (in this thread, parts of the lyrics) every few hours, it's usually good to post them at least daily so the thread doesn't stall for a week. (This has been a general tip.)

Yes, it was "Shazam!" Billy Batson went into the Winnebago, turned on the colander with the lights, and recited this. Then the Elders appeared (in animation) to advise him, thus introducing the moral of the episode.
-
To clarify, the SONG has the same name as the movie, the band does NOT have the same name as the movie.
-
"Oh, Elders, great, strong and wise, appear before my seeking eyes."

Ok, next movie.. Maybe time for an odd clue. The cast for this movie includes people who did other roles. -Fred Flintstone -John "Hannibal" Smith -Helen Benson -Jed Clampett -Andy Hardy This movie itself is fairly well-known, if not a recent movie. A hit song (but not a tremendous classic or anything) was inspired by it some time later by a one-hit wonder band, with the same name as the movie.

Thank you for joining in, infoabsorption! You have the correct answer! This was Genesis' "Turn It On Again", a hit and my favorite song off of "Duke." (I bought the cassette once specifically to get this song, and enjoyed the rest, just not as much.) The previous song got more airplay, I thought. It was Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway." It is now your turn. Choose a song to post, for us to guess. Since you are posting the clues, it is RECOMMENDED you look them up so you post the correct lyrics. We are not allowed to look them up, and if we do, we disqualify ourselves from naming the song.

Jennifer Love Hewitt. Selah.

One last try on this before I sacrifice it like the previous little lamb.... "All I need is a TV show, that and the radio Down on my luck again, down on my luck again I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life It's driving me mad just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I, I, I... You're just another face that I know from the TV show. I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend. Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while? Can I meet you another day and we will fly away? I can show you, I can show you, some of the people in my life. I can show you, I can show you, some of the people in my life. It's driving me mad. It's just another way of passing the day. I, I get so lonely when she's not there."

I know who Cesar Milan is. Ok, unresolved problems.... Sounds like it's one of the "beyond the grave" TV shows, of which there's been a number in recent years. Doesn't make sense to have Cesar Milan in one of those. He's not a parapsychologist, he works with dogs as the.... Seriously? Was this "THE GHOST WHISPERER????" Was the other guy "the Horse Whisperer"?

If the reason his roles are limited is "obvious and unavoidable", it's probably physical and visible, like Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) or Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) or something. One such actor is Warwick Davis, who played Professor Flitwick and other roles with lots of makeup, so he's often not recognized. As for a movie where the lead supporting actor married the lead supporting actress, that could be Val Kilmer and Joanne Walley-Kilmer (spelling??), neither of whom had the title role that was played by Warwick Davis- that role was WILLOW Upgood. So, the movie should be "WILLOW." Anyone ever play the arcade game? It looked ok, but I just never felt interested enough.

It's a bigger hit by the same artist, so I'm hoping we can move this along.

I am annoyed that I know I came across the answer to this sometime in the past few months, and it is COMPLETELY evading me.

Raf WAS correct, that the previous movie WAS "Ghostbusters." I was getting ready for some non-quote clues, and some other quotes. So, his turn. (On the other hand, Raf, you forget that you are drunk! )

When vpw told lcm that he (lcm) wouldn't be able to minister to God's people without "loosening up" sexually, he was recommending that lcm practice sex outside of marriage, and that God was not only OK with it, but that God Almighty was RECOMMENDING sex outside of marriage, at least for leaders.

While we wait.... "He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!"

Ok, same artist, different song. "You're just another face that I know from the TV show. I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend. Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while? Can I meet you another day and we will fly away?"
