a historical, geographical or cultural word for a song....
Abba Friends,
There is a game called historical, geographical and cultural word for a song….
You need to post a clue with one word (historical, geographical or cultural) and we must find the right song, but the most important is our explanations, in these explanations are all what we are…..
Thanks for our participation
Lionel
Ps this game was a challenge between Yvana and I , in our old Abba site….

spong - 11.10.2006, 23:33

hello

this is one game i missed. i mean , really missed. this game sobered me up a few times i can tell you.(maybe it's not so good.lol)
c'mon , Lionel

gary

Fire&Ice - 11.10.2006, 23:59

I remember it had to do with trains and stations..! But Gary did not have Just another town another train in mind!

Fire&Ice - 12.10.2006, 00:40

Aw! Let's wait for Daniel then, unless someone has a new clue!

Fire&Ice - 12.10.2006, 22:52

Mmmmm the magic lamp?

'It's maaagic"? Take A Chance On Me?

Fire&Ice - 12.10.2006, 23:04

When I think of Alladin, a flying carpet comes to mind....

"Flying high, high, like a bird in the sky.." Eagle?

spong - 12.10.2006, 23:58

hello

Ivana: i can see your mind. it is so clear.

I WONDER

if my clarity is profound

"i can see it all so clearly"
"i watched you look away"

well?

gary

PeopleNeedLove - 13.10.2006, 02:32

I never got to try this game on the old site.........

Is the object to guess the song described by the clue? So in other words, "Aladdin" refers, in some way, to an ABBA song?

Wow- That's hard. But challenging.

"Aladdin." Hmmmmmm. I'll give it thought...........

Matt

abbelionah - 13.10.2006, 10:38

hello ,
think about a travel or something like that....
Simbad .....Alladin

amicalement,

Lionel

Fire&Ice - 13.10.2006, 21:39

Something with adventure...? I'll have to think about it!

Fire&Ice - 13.10.2006, 23:45

Then it is Fernando!

But I don't see connection with Sindbad or Alladin?

abbelionah - 14.10.2006, 10:39

Hello Guys,
I ask myself if it was a good clue finally…..
No sorry Fernando….I remember it was the favourite song of Merton, but not a adventurer, simply a dreamer ,I think….there are 2 versions for this song , in 2 tongues ……
Amitiés,
Lionel

MammaMia512 - 14.10.2006, 17:34

Wow. I feel like I'm home again. Great to see everybody!

MammaMia512 - 14.10.2006, 17:47

Great to see you too! I like your new nickname (are you alluding to Frost's poem?)

Yes, we need to reunite our little family! :)

abbelionah - 14.10.2006, 21:18

Champagne Yvana!
well, Mamma Mia, I am so happy to see you again on the new site!
hope Aphadnis will find it too.
Yvana ,we are waiting for you clue now.

Fire&Ice - 14.10.2006, 22:47

Here we go...

Think of a film genre!

Fire&Ice - 14.10.2006, 22:56

No! :)

abbelionah - 14.10.2006, 23:01

or adventure ?

abbelionah - 15.10.2006, 00:33

do you think about a detective roman?

8)

Lionel

abbelionah - 15.10.2006, 00:47

so Neither Agatha Christie, niether Exbrayat ....
well, not easy but could it be something about a Marylin French, I confess I don't know what sort of good writter she could be...but if she was the novel writter, i propose The Day Before You Came , the favourite song for ever and ever of Ron.....
but I have another song if it wasn't this song...
help Mamma Mia, Gary( the both), Daniel( he begins a new year ), and all the other guys, I can't find alone, I feel alone and to be abandoned....
:cry:
:(

Lionel

abbelionah - 15.10.2006, 00:53

Well,
Is it a song about Italy ?

abbelionah - 15.10.2006, 01:39

of course Gary , Mamma Mia is there , but Aphadnis missed.....

Fire&Ice - 15.10.2006, 17:54

[quote="spong"]hello

mamma mia?

gary[/quote]

CHAMPAGNE for spong! Yes, it is. The film genre I had in mind was Western, then I wanted to associate it with italian food like spaghetti because there is Spaghetti Western and of course finally with Mamma Mia.

spong - 15.10.2006, 20:09

hello

i have to put it now. i go early.

when they talk to me they say "i cannot do a thing with it"

Fire&Ice - 15.10.2006, 22:16

Mmmm I can't do a thing with it....something broken... a heart, are you hinting at a break-up song? :wink:

abbelionah - 16.10.2006, 10:52

Hello Gary,
Actually I swim no more, but I am going under …..
What sort of thing have you got in your mind ?
May I fix a boat, a hammock….
Sitting in the palmtree perhaps!

I haven't understood ...

but why as good as new,
I haven't understood ,please!!!!!!!!!
amitiés,

abbelionah - 16.10.2006, 22:31

don't mind, but I haven't understood...
Greak tragedy
cassandra........but why it's the story between the Trojan and the Greeck, a famous legend which told the love of Paris for Helen....
amicalement,
Lionel

abbelionah - 17.10.2006, 11:36

Hi Guys,
I'd like remember to a certain person I have revival this game after a demand...but for instance no many interests.....
amicalement,
Lionel

Fire&Ice - 17.10.2006, 18:05

I have to say I am glad Lionel has guessed it is Cassandra, as the has often thought of this song even earlier on Abbasite but he was usually wrong...

Lionel, we are interested in it! Sometimes it is hard to give it a guess though, but I like it because this game demands quite some intellectual effort as well.

By the way, Jack - can you post "Your impressions of the song"? It was a lovely game - it wasn't exactly a game in fact - I have seen it as a personaly analysis of the lyrics. I loved playing it on the AFF! :)

Fire&Ice - 17.10.2006, 21:03

The Perfume.... something that has a lovely scent... I somehow tend to think it's Tropical Loveland but I know I am wrong..

I'll be back anyway! :wink:

Fire&Ice - 17.10.2006, 23:27

Oh! There is one named The Perfume? I haven't seen it anyway...
Hopefully somebody has! :roll:

Fire&Ice - 17.10.2006, 23:31

:lol: When you say Grasse I think of you!

But if it is Paris as well, then a city comes to mind. I am the city?

Fire&Ice - 17.10.2006, 23:56

Whenever you mention Paris, I have to think of Our Last Summer. Now that you're mentioning the beginning of a career, there is Harry whose career is mentioned in OLSummer - he is working in a bank, even though it is not the beginning of a career.

Our Last Summer? Am I right? :)

Fire&Ice - 18.10.2006, 00:05

If you keep mentioning France, it reminds me of Napoleon!

Is it the right direction :?:

Fire&Ice - 18.10.2006, 00:26

Because it is a French town? I don;t know much about French cities.. :roll:

So - Waterloo!

Why Waterloo - because France is all around me - The Perfume, Grasse, Paris, Autun - could it be Napoleon's route?

MarryMeAgnetha - 18.10.2006, 08:33

Lionel,

I can't believe it took me this long even to realize that you revived this game in the new forum! AAAAAUUUGGGHHHHHH! But anyway, now that that's out of my system, I'm glad you did revive it, and it's great to be back in the game. I hope Aphadnis and the other missing players find out about the new forum and show up soon.

By the way: I have no idea about the current clue.

--Daniel

Hi Yvana,
I am so stupid, a marionnette of course.....
I am a marionnette...perhaps perhaps perhaps (DORIS or AGNETHA ?)
Amitiés,
Lionel :roll:

abbelionah - 19.10.2006, 20:09

Oh! I can't believe it! :)
I would have known that I’m a marionette was too easy…
In a Circus, we can find some acrobats, clowns, horses,…it looks like the Super Trouper’s Cover, but I don’t think it’s the song….
I will think more intensely!
Amitiés,
Lionel
:roll:

Sinikka - 19.10.2006, 20:19

Hello,

May I join in. We have clowns in a cirkus.
So would the song be "The King Has Lost His Crown" as there's a reference to a clown?

"He's clumsy like a clown"

Anne

Fire&Ice - 19.10.2006, 20:45

Champagne Anne!

Your clue is next! :D

abbelionah - 19.10.2006, 21:23

Hi Anne,
There are 2 songs which could be your song.
First the Piper, because in the past the soldiers used to play on pipers and drums to help knowing the road for their friend soldiers in the mist of the battles …
The second Eagle, the soldier had a flag in her hands , but one of the most famous flag is the Roman’s flag with its Eagle….so it could be Eagle too!
But I think I am wrong….
Amitiés,
Lionel
:lol:

MarryMeAgnetha - 20.10.2006, 00:58

Soldiers used to wear big plumes in their helmets. The costume Benny wore at Brighton as ABBA won the ESC had a big plume (not on a helmet, but on his shirt.)

As for your metaphor, "a feather in one's cap" means "being acknowledged for a great accomplishment."

So I'm guessing Waterloo.

--Daniel

Sinikka - 20.10.2006, 16:26

Hi Daniel,

All good guesses but you are all going too far from the actual song. The metaphor occurs in the ABBA song that I have in mind. The soldier's garment is mentioned in that metaphor. The metaphor has an actual reference to a way how people were punished in old times. Nowadays, the expression is merely a metaphor and its meaning is abstract, not concrete. Did this help you at all?

Anne

spong - 20.10.2006, 21:29

hello

PUT ON YOUR WHITE SOMBRERO?

gary

Sinikka - 20.10.2006, 22:11

OK, I will give you more help. The metaphor in the song is connected with a whirl of lace....

Anne

spong - 21.10.2006, 00:54

hello
sorry Lionel . i'll try to remember.
i got really excited 'cos i thought i'd got it.

HEAD OVER HEELS?
because FRIDA has a lace hanky in it.

gary

abbelionah - 21.10.2006, 09:15

Great Clue Anna,
now your turn Gary, I will be back in 2 days !....
please post your clue before!
I'd like to look at our answers...

my , go...whata game!! :o

(pubs in Ewell open at noon::it's a disgrace!!
this has nothing to do with the clues!)

there is only so much i can take(&that is a clue)

gary

MarryMeAgnetha - 22.10.2006, 04:17

...although my first thought was the same as Ivana's. You didn't actually respond to her. I assume her guess wasn't right...?

--Daniel

Fire&Ice - 22.10.2006, 17:52

Come on Daniel! You're next! :D


Spong: don't worry, I supposed it wasn't the right song, otherwise you'd have said so.
About Tomb Raider - No. 1 is my favourite game, I solved it all by myself (which is really difficult) without cheats or walkthroughs! You should try out TR 2 - 5. They are even better and harder! :shock: :)

MarryMeAgnetha - 23.10.2006, 00:39

Hello everyone,

Could someone please take my turn? I can't think of anything, and I seem to be having some sort of computer problem. Everything is running so maddeningly slow!

I'll get back to the game when I get this sorted out.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 23.10.2006, 01:16

Hello all, I'm back. I seem to have fixed my computer problem.

I was about to post a clue after all, but since Lionel has so graciously filled in, I'll wait to use my clue until next time I win.

Thanks for your help, Lionel! As long as I'm here, I'll have a guess. I'll guess I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do because once ABBA did a video of it in which Benny and Björn walked in on Frida and Agnetha having a picnic (in the grass) with two guys. B&B asked them to leave, and the two guys -- evidently martial artists -- flipped Benny and Björn, then left (because they didn't really want to hurt them?). The saxophones were in the background playing the music (the sound was so nice).

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 23.10.2006, 01:35

Lionel,

It's hard to know how much to say when giving a clue. If you say too little, the clue is too hard; but if you say too much, someone gets the clue immediately before everyone gets a chance to guess. That's just part of the game, I think.

So speaking of clues, here's a particularly silly one. I thought of it a long time ago, back when we were playing this game on ABBAsite. I don't think I used it then because it's so silly, but now that it's my turn really and I can't think of anything else, I'll use it.

Clue: Even if you meet a real vampire, you won't be able to say this.

--Daniel

PS: I hope I didn't use this one already!

Nathan - 23.10.2006, 01:56

At first I thought of "Hole In Your Soul" - but as it's not called "Hole in your chest, after I've driven in a stake", I decided to discard it ;-)

I reckon it's my least favourite Abba song - and "this man cries" when he listens to it ;-)

Am I right? Or should I "reflect" more on it?

;-))))))

Nathan - 23.10.2006, 08:49

*pop* (that's the Champagne opening) :-)

I was referring to "I Saw It In The Mirror", of course :-)

I've never followed this game before, so I'm not sure if this has been done. Erm. Hope I don't make it too easy! But here goes:

This wordless rogue did the fandango for a Queen and barely saw the light of day.

abbelionah - 23.10.2006, 09:57

Thanks Nathan,
but with Champagne don't be drunk !
now it's your turn ...
:lol:

Amitiés,

Lionel

abbelionah - 23.10.2006, 12:08

I am lost, please when you post a clue I need to understand ...is it really the next clue or the old one from Daniel....
don't forget I have some problems in English , and even I'd like to make progresses I think it's not really a success...
amitiés

Lionel :oops:

MarryMeAgnetha - 23.10.2006, 16:55

Lionel,

Nathan did post a clue. It was the last sentence of his latest post, and it reads as follows:

"This wordless rogue did the fandango for a Queen and barely saw the light of day."

Don't worry, your English is great. It's certainly better than my French.

--Daniel

PS: If anyone's confused about Nathan's answer to the previous clue: Vampire lore claims that vampires can not leave reflections in mirrors. So even if you ever met a vampire, you could not say "I Saw It In The Mirror."

Nathan - 23.10.2006, 18:48

They were indeed close, Daniel - but you hit the nail on the head :-)

This wordless rogue (because it's an instrumental song = no lyrics)

did the fandango for a Queen (yep you all got that bit "Scaramouche! Scaramouche! Can you do the fandango?")

and barely saw the light of day (as it was only released in part on Undeleted)

Well done :-)

Fire&Ice - 23.10.2006, 20:53

:lol: Excellent clue!!!

At least I was in the right direction, I was thinking and thinking what had come before the "will you do the fan-dan-go" in Queen's song but I couldn't remember! :P

Lionel, no worries about your English!!! We all understand you, and we'll try to make it easy that you can understand us as well!

No blushing! :wink:

abbelionah - 23.10.2006, 22:23

Hello Nathan, :)
yes we are waiting for Daniel, but I suppose he has some work today with his pupils....
or in other way I have spent all my money for Abba today, Arrival de Luxe, 2 Dvds and the Anne Sofie Von Otter's tribute...can't tell how much...
see you soon
Amitiés,
Lionel
ps Yvana I will try not blushing :roll:, and Anne your topic Trivia is very fantastic, but for instance apart thinking you and Yvana are Agnetha and Frida I haven't helped you very much :(

Sinikka - 24.10.2006, 06:19

Hmmm... Tropical loveland?

Anne

Fire&Ice - 24.10.2006, 09:17

I keep thinking about TL as well.. :roll:

Can we have another clue Daniel? :)

Fire&Ice - 24.10.2006, 10:04

Alice met the striped cat - therefore The Tiger.

She also met the fast rabbit who is always late... this does not tell me anything. :(

But finally she meets the Queen and plays a cricket game with her.. so I propose - Dancing Queen. :?:

Sinikka - 24.10.2006, 12:56

It's 24 years I've been living next door to Alice :D. LOL! Wrong band.
I've always thought that the person living 24 years next door to someone and not able to proceed in anyway, got what he deserved :D.

Anne

Fire&Ice - 24.10.2006, 18:54

LOL you two! :lol:

Waiting for Daniel! :)

Sinikka - 24.10.2006, 21:22

[quote="abbelionah"]Hi Anna (Agnetha,) :D
Now I understand why your Husband has written so many times her name in his songs! :D

Hi Lionel!

LOL! You have such an imagination :wink:

Anne

MarryMeAgnetha - 25.10.2006, 03:12

Sorry for taking so long to get back to all your brilliant reasoning. Too bad we live in such different time zones, but I guess it can't be helped.

Dancing Queen, Tiger, and Happy Hawaii were all good guesses for good reasons, but not what I was looking for. This is good playing, guys. You're telling the reasons for your guesses. That's what makes the game fun, of course.

OK, I think we need more hints. Think of how Alice managed to go to Wonderland, or even of how she got back home.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 25.10.2006, 07:54

Nathan,

You're right, it's not I Saw It in the Mirror again! I promise I'll never be that lame.

At any rate, Alice gained entry to a fantastic realm by means of a mirror in "Through The Looking Glass," not in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

Alice seemingly gained entry to Wonderland through a rabbit hole, but now think about how she got out of that World, and what that says about the World she visited.

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 25.10.2006, 08:24

Again, think of Alice's exit from her fantastic World, and what kind of World it must have been.

--Daniel

Nathan - 25.10.2006, 15:58

Yes, you're right Ivana.. I was just going to post the same thing after having read Daniel's first reaction to my last post ... but reading to the end of the thread, I see you beat me to it :-)

Seeing as you say "keep the game going"... I'll post a new clue... in the hope that Daniel logs on and says that we were right. Mind you, we have to be as he practically spoon-fed us the answer :-)

Okay, take note - Lionel, are you paying attention? ;-) - this is the clue:

"Not the D track"

abbelionah - 25.10.2006, 16:36

When I think about D track , it seams a word for a joke:
May I propose As Good As New, because what is D track is broken (it could be the Visitors), but the clue is:" it is not D track" so is New and Good....
for instance the only song in my mind is
As Good As New

Amitiés,

Lionel

spong - 25.10.2006, 22:36

hello

to get into wonderland she had to go to a table.
on the table was a bottle with "drink me" on it and a cake with "eat me" on it.
now i think i know what it is , but i'll start with "ROCK ME"

gary

Nathan - 26.10.2006, 00:12

Hmmm. It *could* actually be Crazy World, Spong. Good one. Let's see what Daniel says.

Okay - I think my clue was really a little too difficult - though the answers were good.

I'll make it very simple. You need another letter other than D and you need another word for track. You then need to misspell it and stick it together. LOL.

Sinikka - 26.10.2006, 06:21

Nathan, could it be Under A-ttack?


Anne

abbelionah - 26.10.2006, 15:54

Hello People,

no more answers....or what ?
I see, it's a joke with the word , so.Under Attack is the last single, but we know Thank YOu For The Music ended the show, the other version for this song is called the Doris Day version, Day or D day, but is not the D track so it's the usual version for TYFTM....

Amitiés,

Lionel

Sinikka - 26.10.2006, 16:40

LOL! It is ELAINE!!

E+ lane is another word for track!!

I just love this game, especially when you get such smart clues :D .

MAN IN THE MIRROR?

GARY :D

Nathan - 28.10.2006, 19:57

We seem to have two clues at the moment... that's good. We have more work to do :-)

Lionel's clue: Perceval by Chretien de Troyes

Perceval, the Story of the Grail (French:Perceval, le Conte du Graal), to give it its full title can be researched here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceval%2C_the_Story_of_the_Grail

I'm stuck on that at the moment - because I'm quite tired. But I'll check back and see how you're getting on :-)

Anne's clue: I, in this duplicate vision/tune, am a man

Hmmm. Rubberball Man - being the duplicate "vision" of Under My Sun, by any chance?

Nathan - 28.10.2006, 21:49

Sorry to hear the sad news, Daniel. Nice to see you back! :-)

Sinikka - 28.10.2006, 23:08

Hi Nathan and Lionel.

Well, to be correct I am a man in the duplicate means that there are two identical melodies....

Anne

I don't think now it was Happy Hawaii, and Why did it have to be me , but more surely Monsieur Monsieur because it's the first version of My Love My Life, your clue a man in a duplicate vision takes all its meaning!

PS Think about Perceval and Chretien de Troyes ( Look the informations given by Nathan )

spong - 29.10.2006, 13:01

hi , Anne..either wy i think i'll probably get it wrong!
"WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME" (WDIHTBM)
then "HAPPY HAWAII" before they finally settled on WDIHTBM.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME (who has to guess first? :))

Bisous :lol:
Lionel

abbelionah - 30.10.2006, 02:27

No Gary,
i don't think this has anything to do with the Carrolingian rennaissance, think about the Town where the French Kings were crowned, and think about a Smile......a clue the area is the Champagne.
Troyes is in Champagne too.

Reims.
ANOTHER TOWN ANOTHER TRAIN?
i've been through Reims quite a lot , nice place.

abbelionah - 30.10.2006, 18:06

Hello Daniel and Gary, no your propositions are fine but they aren’t the good songs.
There is in Reims, of course the Champagne, but something else important, the Phial with Holly Oil given by the White Dove during the Clovis Baptism ……remember the other legend about the Grail! It was with this Holly Oil the Reims bishop used to crown the French King, in the cathedral …I can’t tell anymore; think about a Smile…..
Amicalement,
Lionel

abbelionah - 30.10.2006, 23:47

No Nathan,
it is a little more difficult...look about Reims and the Smile, it's the cathedral's emblem, in addition the fairy tale or the Perceval's legend could give a sense to this song too..
but thanks for your help in this clue.
:D
Amitiés,
Lionel

abbelionah - 30.10.2006, 23:54

No , Nathan
I think you will find soon now....google on Reims Cathedral ;and I am sure you will find something with the Smile..after I will explain the reasons ......
amicalement,
Lionel

abbelionah - 31.10.2006, 00:55

Hi Nathan,
I’d like you have found my clue, but sorry, Notre Dame isn’t the same cathedral as Reims Cathedral, your error comes from it was in Reims that Clovis was crowned by St Remy , and after him all the French kings went to Reims for their crowning because of the Holly Oil , and not in Notre Dame de Paris….moreover in front of the Reims Cathedral there is a statue which should have been on the top of the cathedral and not on the bottom, and it’s a particularity of this Cathedral in the wolrd , but why such a statue shouldn’t be at the bottom, because of its smile…it’s like of an invitation of friendship and peace on the world for humanity given by this statue…
Amitiés,
Lionel

abbelionah - 31.10.2006, 01:02

Hi Nathan ,
good night , I am going to bed too, and sure Mister Sand Man will give to you the clue... :D

No sorry, it was a good idea, but look Daniel have allready proposed this song and it wasn't .

abbelionah - 31.10.2006, 01:25

Thanks for your answer , but sorry it isn't the good song..but I'd like to know why you have thought it was 2 for the price of 1

abbelionah - 31.10.2006, 01:32

Hello Friend, :D
it's kind of you to answer, but in this topic it's not a chain game( too booring sometimes), so when we have started this we wished to explain all our propositions and all our choices, so I may say no it wasn't your proposition, but for your next answer tell us why you think it could be such or such a song....look at this
in front of the Reims Cathedral there is a statue which should have been on the top of the cathedral and not on the bottom, and it’s a particularity of this Cathedral , but such a statue shouldn’t be at the bottom, because of its smile…it’s like of an invitation of friendship and peace on the world for humanity given by this statue…

abbademosuk - I like "though the fire was so cruel" :-) You can check out the real lyric here: http://www.abbasite.com/music/song.php?id=72

Lionel - I'm still stumped. Sorry! I don't want to just guess one song after the other - there's no point to that. Other than Like An Angel Passing Through My Room - as already suggested - I've no suggestion.

Sorry.

abbelionah - 31.10.2006, 16:11

Hi Yvana ,
with Chiquitita and Like an Angel Passing through my room you are very closed......it could be Like an Angel Passing , but some details failed on this songs for my clue, I have in a first time thinking about this song, but in fact I have choosed another one...but why Chiquitita,because this song is on the same album!.....now, I have offered the clue, but when somebody will give a song , I want the reasons, in other way I think Yvana was the most closed from the song....
thanks for you Nathan, Gary and Daniel and all the friends which are crazy now because of my clue :oops:
Amicalement,
Lionel

Nathan - 31.10.2006, 16:44

LOL - have you actually *read* any of Lionel's clues, Jacko?

If you're right, I'll eat your hat :-)))

Nathan - 31.10.2006, 17:00

I think it'll be I Have A Dream - because of the "I Believe In Angels" bit. But that's just between you and me... 'cause I can't give a better explanation... even AFTER having had all the clues :-))))

I'm pretty sure I'll not be needing the pepper and salt. :-)))

abbelionah - 31.10.2006, 17:49

Hello Friends,
Champagne for Nathan!
But now why I Have A Dream,
A dream comes when you are sleeping, but some times good dreams come when you are drunk with Champagne, a bit expensive perhaps…… this song had been often criticised on the site, because some people thinks it was only a song for children, OK, but the legend of Perceval talked about a land where all is wonderful and nice, the peace and the friendship are given by the Grail’s power, it’s the chalice where the Christ’s blood had been preserved…..this Chalice is showed for the common people like the Angel with the Smile on the front of the Reims Cathedral. In addition, the song I Have A Dream talk about fairy tales,.I hope now you are all happy because the clue is over!
It’s your turn Nathan and thanks for all the friends in this topic,
Amicalement,
Lionel

:D

Nathan - 01.11.2006, 04:03

Well, I don't deserve it - so I'll make this one easy.

My mother used to get awfully mad at me when singing along to "I Wonder, Departure" for singing "But who the *HELL* am I ... ?" with such gusto but, had this song been released, she'd have been really P*d off :-)

MarryMeAgnetha - 01.11.2006, 04:08

Whoops, looks like I was still typing while you posted, Nathan.

Anyway, I think you're referring to When All Is Said And Done. I'm guessing your mother would object to the line

slightly worn, but dignified, and not too old for sex

--Daniel

MarryMeAgnetha - 01.11.2006, 04:58

Oh, of course, "had this song been released". That makes a difference. Ah, details.

So now I'll try "Holy Christ what a lousy deal" from Burning My Bridges.

--Daniel

Fire&Ice - 01.11.2006, 13:32

Let's see. The snippet of the unreleased song would have to have some words in it which your mother would disapprove.....(nasty words and ABBA? That does not go together at all! :lol: )

Well, the only unreleased song (not really a snippet..) which comes to mind is JLT....!

Or maybe she would be mad just like that, in an instant..! Oh, whatever... will be back soon..

MarryMeAgnetha - 02.11.2006, 00:43

Remember, it's something from an (originally) unreleased song. But I still don't know what it is, or if my guess was right.

--Daniel

The title of this composition refers to something that happened in one of the Northern countries, but it is not Sweden.

Hi Abbademosuk,

Why would you think it was Norway? In this game you should give a reason or try to reason it out loud 8) .

[quote="Nathan"]Well, Anne asked "What Scandinavian country was left out?" and the most obvious one is Denmark:

Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe. A common definition includes Denmark, mainland Norway and Sweden. Sometimes Finland is included, even in official contexts, although since the rise of Scandinavism in 1850s, this inclusion divides opinions in all of the respective states. Also Iceland is occasionally included. (from Wikepedia)[/quote]

You missed Iceland nathan

yes but acording to my new version of encata iceland is included as well as denmark and finland

Hi all,

WOW!! Ivana, you guessed it!! It was so easy then. Yes, it was Hamlet III as Hamlet happens in Denmark :D.

Ivana, your turn.

Anne

Nathan - 03.11.2006, 10:32

LOL. Well done, Ivana!

Anne wrote "My thoughts did not go as far as the great Northern war"... but The Great Northern War was from 1655-1661 and Hamlet, Prince of Denmark was written between 1598 and 1602 ... so, actually her thoughts *did* go back that far - and further. LOL.

Having said that, I still missed it completely :-)

Looking forward to your clue, Ivana :-)

Sinikka - 03.11.2006, 22:03

Hi, again Ivana! Here are the lyrics of New York by Frank Sinatra:

Start spreading the news
I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New york, new york

These vegabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New york, new york

Bridge 1:
I wanna wake up in the city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap

This little town blues
Are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old new york

If I can make it there,
I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you,
New york, new york

Bridge 2:
New york, new york
I wanna wake up in the city
That never sleeps
And find I’m a number one,
Top of the list,
King of the hill, a number one...

This...little town.... blues
Are...melting away,
I gotta make a brand new start of it
In old new york

And if I can make it there,
I’m gonna make it anywhere
It’s up to you,
New york, new yoooooooooork...
New yooork.

I suppose I get the reference. Is it I WONDER? Frida with full of hopes for the future? If it is, what a wonderful clue, Ivana!!

That's a hard one :)

"London and Stockholm but not my home city of Cardiff"

Could it be that Cardiff, for you, is "this town" and London and Stockholm are "other towns".. and that you're referring to Another Town, Another Train?

Probably not but it's the best I can come up with right now. LOL.

THE NAME OF THE GAME
of course John , when you said London Stockholm and not Cardif , you wanted we remembered the Olympics Games, Stockholm in 1912 was the Olympic town and London 2 times , and soon in the future if a killing comet doesn't break the Earth ...the name of the game is a little reference to the Olympic Games, for lazy sportif! 8)
