Round Two
It's time for round two of my "have you been reading my blog?" trivia challenge. There have been twenty posts since the last challenge and there have been eight songs referenced in my blog titles and five cultural references. Who can name them and achieve everlasting glory? Praise and adulation to the person who can spot the very obscure cultural reference to a round one cultural reference. Bang a Gong, bring it on!

Bang a Gong, Get it On, T Rex
I Am Woman-Helen Reddy
Thanks for the Memories- Bob Hope
I Write the Songs-Barry Manic-low
My So Called Life was a TV show
You Take the High Road and I'll Take the Low Road...
Be All You Can Be- Army ... which may be more accurately put as Hamlet did, "To be or not to be" ('cause joining up might just kill me).
Warning...er... I mean...DANGER WILL ROBINSON! I'm Lost in Space
I'm on a Mexican Wall-o-Voodoo
Mostly Harmless- one of Douglas Adams' other books
The Short Form- IRS 1040A or EZ (?) is there another?
Needle in a Haystack - famous cliche (?)
(Can you tell I'm grasping at anything now?)
You have hit on five songs with: Ms. Reddy, Mr. Hope, Mr. Manilow, Mr. Danny Thomas, and Wall of Voodoo. Bang a Gong isn't in the title and so wouldn't be counted, but while it is a cultural reference I didn't know T-Rex also used it. And you have hit four out of five cultural references with Claire Danes' TV show, Army slogan, Lost in Space, and Mr. Adams description of Earth.
PS you might have to go back into the archives to get everything after the last challenge.
Ok, great opening shot! Bang a Gong, was not in a title so was not one of the original songs, but I'll give you a point anyways (BTW, I was stealing it from Iron Chef, but the english language translators must have stolen it from T. Rex). You found Ms. Reddy, Mr. Hope, Mr. Manilow, Mr. Danny Thomas and Wall of Voodoo for a total of five out of eight songs. One more left with the cultural references, which by the way the short form is not a reference to taxes. ok, is ANYBODY else reading my blog that might be able to help Lisa out?
