dont know if its been done before but heres the game.

i would say the name of a song slightly different to what it is, change the words.

for example. if i said

"one more eats the dirt", i would be describing "another one bites the dust" by queen

or

"not keeping my faith", i would be describing "losing my religion".

the idea is to guess it and suggest a new one.

so here's the first to start you off

"monarch of the motorway"

bridgie

[Nablo.]

King of the road?

[Bridgie]

yep . just guess then suggest a new one to keep it flowing if you're pretty sure it's right

[Nablo.]

Colourful water transport.

[Everlast]

Yellow Submarine

[Bob23]

I thought it was 'Rainbow coloured Fire-engine' by some obscure Swedish rock band.

[Bob23]

Ok, here's one. I warn you, it is a bit tricky;

"Killing people where people jump around to music after they have drunk too much"

[Nablo.]

Murder on the dance floor.

"Grope"

[KFA]

Feel

"jealousy'

[superwoman]

ive seen this done omewhere else.

[Bob23]

Ok, here's a cryptic one I come up with;

Down after weekend, Oxford done May, mixed without drug (4,6)

Should be easy for any of you who regularly do the Times Crossword!

ahem

[Bob23]

Come on! It's not that hard.

[kendra k]

no, it really is though.

[Bob23]

Ok, the answer is "Blue Monday".

[Uglybob]

Ok, here's a cryptic one I come up with;

Down after weekend, Oxford done May, mixed without drug (4,6)

Should be easy for any of you who regularly do the Times Crossword!

isurely thats three songs if you say the answer is blue monday

down after weekend - blue monday

so the other 2 are different titles

[kendra k]

huh?

[Bob23]

Cryptic clues are made of a 'straight' clue, and the cryptic element. Here's the breakdown;

Down after weekend: (Feeling down is 'Blue', after weekend is 'Monday'

Oxford: Is 'Blue', as in Oxford Blue

done May, mixed without drug: 'Monday' is an anagram (hence 'mixed') of 'done May', but without the drug, being the letter 'e'.

There, simple

[MK Chris]

So, not only do you read the Times, but you also worked that out?

We have a University Challenge candidate on the board...

[Bob23]

I rarely read the Times, and I didn't work the clue out, I wrote it myself. Oh, and I'm not a Student either!

[kendra k]

frankly, quite new bob, you sound as if you find yourself clever. good show. i still think it's a silly game.

[Bob23]

My IQ is only supressed by my shoe-size

[Uglybob]

that sentence didnt make sense

either you wanted to say

my iq is only surpassed by my shoe size

OR

my iq is only superseded by my show size

[Bob23]

Your quite right there. In my defence, it's late on a Friday night and I'm simaltaneously watching the tele. But would I be correct in thinking that my shoe-size would surpress my IQ if I put my head in a shoe that was too tight and therefore stopped my brain functioning to it's optimum level.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

no it could mean his brain in in his feet an cant work properly because his shoes are too tight.....
