i wondered that, but we shall find out eventually

I emailed setter way back and she confirmed that the clue was definitely correct. What more can I say, I would have loved it to have been wrong.

Results are in, with a comment from the setter.

//I realise that the answer, Mozambique by Paul Simon, is probably quite contentious but I'm afraid as I sometimes put my trust in Mr. Google that was the combination I chose and so it stands.//

[Mamyalynne]

Bumping this for those who were interested.

[Captain2]

Thank you for that Mamya. Not a song I'm familiar with; I only know of Mozambique by Bob Dylan (off Desire LP)

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. Just got home. It seems odd /random to me to allow one wrong answer but reject others.

[fiction-factory]

I think the reason you're unfamiliar with it is that there are no reliable sites I could find that listed it as a Paul Simon song

[Mamyalynne]

Ah well, setter's rights I guess.

[fiction-factory]

I wonder if anyone here put that as the answer? Maybe Paul Simon did a live version of the Dylan song at a concert which was never officially released

[Mamyalynne]

10 people matched all of her answers, so despite only finding obscure links like the one below decided to chance it.

Good luck to the winner all the same.

//Today I am going to be talking about a groove called the Mozambique. The mozambique was made famous by Steve Gadd in a song called "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon. //

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, that links back to the info in my link - Mozambique is not a song by Paul Simon.

Maybe Mr Zimmerman identifies as Paul Simon late in the evening.

It's our own fault, this mixed up, muddled up, shook up world we've created. :-)

When I did quizzes at work I always checked at least three sites to confirm the answer.

If the answer is clearly wrong, even if some folk managed to get it "right", the answer should be scrubbed.
