Trying again with this query. I have noticed that a few Abers have given Armistice for Q89. I cant seem to find who sang it, I had Remembrance, I did find that a Marina Raye had a song with that name but I dont know if she is well known and please could someone help me over Q78. Tre (9,4) I still have quite a few to go but will carry on working at those. Thanks in advance, I will soon be going out to play bowls so may not answer you today.

Vicmarion - I think you may get more replies if you let people who are not doing this quiz know what question 89 is .... also, how many letters (if known), and is there a theme?

[kettledrum]

Copied from Vicmarion's earlier query -

The questions relate to songs by any of ten most successful acts of all time judged by weeks in the singles charts.
89. Sunday, 11th November 2007 (9)

Remembrance has too many letters vicmarion, and sorry I can't help you with Tre.
Did you hit my answerbank server with your bowls this afternoon? Ever since you've been out, its been loading slower, and slooooower, and sloooooooooooooower! You didn't miss anything while you were out! Hope you won!

[kettledrum]

I have been waiting to see if anyone else had a better idea for Q78, but as I don't want you to feel neglected again I'll make a suggestion.

Christmas Tree. A Christmas Tree is (usually) a tree without a base - ie no roots etc. 'e' is the base of the natural system of logarithms, hence tre(e) .

[poodledoo]

Which of the top 10 groups had a song called "Christmas Tree" then Kettledrum?

[smouse]

Sad to say but in the middle of the night I wondered it was endless tree or somthing like that but have searched for songs about a tree and no luck
Anyone done founded in 1892
or
T C T G A B P - in the occupation song titles

[Quizmaster]

smouse
93 Vogue - The Shadows

[Quizmaster]

Sorry smouse 93 it was by Madonna

[scorpioangel]

paul simon has a song called Armistice Day but I couldn't tell you if he's one of the top ten chart artists!

[smouse]

Thanks so much for Vogue.
Of course there are others I havent done but you just cant believe how many things I could find that were founded in 1892

[kettledrum]

Poodledoo - I don't have a clue ! and was rather hoping that Q78 was in a different section to Q89.

But (O) Christmas Tree is the english translation of a very well known German carol O Tannenbaum and must have been sung by someone famous!

What are the 10 most successful acts of all time ? Pop music is not my 'thing' !!

[smouse]

Right - having just spent half on hour on this
the top ten acts and I have songs by all of them in the answers are
Queen, Elvis, Madonna, Beatles, Shadows, Elton John, U2, Michael Jackson, Cliff, David Bowie
Looking through the number one hits of these and I know it doesnt need to a number one
2 songs I can find with 9 4 are
Wonderful Life or Jailhouse Rock
can anyone make either of these fit the clue

[vicmarion]

Many thanks to all of you! Sorry smouse I haven't figured out how to match either of your answers to the clue but will keep on trying.
Also sorry I have taken a while to say thank you but was out all yesterday afternoon and had a shopping spree this morning (just about finished all the Christmas shopping now). One more cake to ice and a few crackers to finish and I can take it easy.

[smouse]

another suggestion is crocodile rock but cant make that fit either

No time here for cake making etc too busy quizzing - lol

[vicmarion]

Found another smouse Wonderful Land (Shadows) but cant make that fit either.

[smouse]

I probably meant that instead of wonderful life - its the stress - lol
