Ok since the current quiz was a topical one I had best reveal that it was....

Bobby 'Boris' Picket & The Crypt Kickers - Monster Mash.

A new one will follow just as soon as I can think of one! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

Yes well done JW You have indeed correctly identified the answer. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

I have given Barbara a hint (after a wrong answer) so in fairness to everyone else, that was that the answer is not seasonal. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif

Time to put this one to bed with a revelation of the answer methinks. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif

So, as some people are already aware, it's...

Remember The Days Of The Old School Yard by Cat Stevens, or in other words,

R.E.M. (the band) + Ember + The Days + (of the) Old (road sign) + School (bus) + Yard (i.e. 3 feet = 1 yard ;D ) + (Big) Cat + Stevens (Messrs. Spielberg & Fry).

Naughty girl Susie, but well done all the same.

i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif

Yes, a PM to me is the preferred answering option as it gives everyone an even chance. I've 'adjusted' the two posts that included the answer so anyone who didn't see that it was ABC & XYZ will be none the wiser. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

Oh and well done to Tig, JW and MRH for also guessing correctly.

from me too as I have just realised that I didn't give the answer - at least for those who didn't see Susie's original post. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

Anyway as you will have all guessed long ago

it was Roy Orbision and Running Scared. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif

It's been a while since I did one of these so as a reminder the idea is to interpret the meaning of the individual elements in order to arrive at the final answer.

I think this is a fairly straightforward one so no clues for now and although this is as it says above 'Just for Fun' please PM your answers to me to give everyone a chance of having a ~~headache~~ go. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif
