  1. That's right, quarterbacks can score touchdowns but not get points for passing touchdowns. But no, it's not Eric Dickerson.
  2. Normally we wait for a "right" response don't we? But not in this case. Now, Which non-kicking NFL player holds the record for the most points scored in NFL history?
  3. Just in case I missed it, I'll answer this "Video Killed the Radio Star", and I'm guessing that WordWolf got the B-side song to Hey Jude. However, if he did I didn't know about it especially since this thread started a new page. What was the answer WordWolf? I could go back and look I guess, but this way is more fun.
  4. I keep dropping clues but they apparently are falling by the wayside. No not the song. Let me post some points that may help dial in on which period of time that this was, because that seems to be the problem. So this is then the period after "Sqt. Pepper", this is late August 1968. They were working on the White Album when they recorded "Hey Jude" and released the song three months prior to that album (The White Album). The thing about it is while the Beatles were doing the "White Album", Paul and John had pretty stopped writing songs together, Ringo had left the band for two weeks, George was sulking about not getting his songs on albums. Within a year, they would be finished recording "Abbey Road" and of course we know what happened with the "Let it Be" album. They broke up. After recording a "Hey Jude" film like promotion with The Beatles playing the song in a studio with a few hundred people, and their fans standing next to them, that was when something changed for them and they got closer to each other resulting with the rooftop concert five months later in Jan. of 1969 and getting back together as a band for what would become their ultimate masterpiece "Abbey Road". The B-side originally was to be the A-side with a POWER BALLAD by John Lennon until the other Beatles vetoed it. Any guesses? And no, it's not "The Ballad of John and Yoko". The Beatles also produced another film like promotion of the song.
  5. Oh, that thank ya very much. I get it now. First line: Here come Johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
  6. It's a media source TV or podcast about a speech Melania Trump gave where she quoted some lines from Rick Asley's "Never Going to Give You Up" called "Was there a RICK ROLL in Melania Trump's speech". It's from a facebook post.
  7. Huh, a song by Andy Kaufman. I thought he only sang the "Tarzan Song"? I'm sure that I've heard this George but the words just seem kind of vague to me.
  8. Originally the reverse was the plan for the B-side to become the single. Hey Jude then, pushed out the planned side B "Top Beatles' song out of it's intended place.
  9. First lines sound familiar. Seems like a slow or love song to me. I'm leaning towards a Mac Davis song. I'd Love You to Want Me?
  10. No. Like I was going the wrong way in the last puzzle with Mars, you are going back to early Beatles, George. You should be thinking "Get Back".
  11. Have any of our players here been to Spain? Just wondered. I just read something about banning bullfighting in Columbia. I hope they decide to stop that senseless spectacle. I think that would be a good thing. "Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents"
  12. Try to remember the time period (if you were old enough to) and the kind of music that The Beatles were putting out. At the time they were putting out their heavier rock music. They were done with their psychedelic sounds like Strawberry Fields. Hey Jude was a Paul song, so the Ying had to be followed with the Yang and a John song.
  13. "I've Never Been to Spain" Actually then, just "Never Been To Spain" although ~Three Dog Night~ does sing those words in the song.
  14. Okay. The Beatles released their first single on their record label "Apple Records" on August 26, 1968 with the 7min. 12s song "Hey Jude". What was on the B-side of the single "Hey Jude"?
  15. Seriously?? First five words in the clue are in the name of the song.
  16. I've been sitting back shocked asking myself, Is really a stumper?
  17. Why don't you sing us a song WordWolf, you're the piano man? You're up here.
  18. This was tough as I only knew of Mariner 10 from the list and heard of Curiosity. I was more aware of some other probes, Galileo, Voyager, Pioneer, Explorer. But this is good stuff. Thanks George.
