    Number 3 - I'm useless with lyrics, I just like a good tune, but number three is a favourite of mine, with truly wonderful lyrics. If I had a Top Ten all time tracks this would be in it for sure.

    You will know all of the songs as there's nothing too obscure.

    Would I be right in thinking that it is appropriate that this is the last question?

    I was in the middle of composing a music quiz myself, but ran out of steam. So, if you don't mind, I will add 3 questions to yours:-

    16. Who has appeared on the most number 1 hit records in the UK?
    17. What do these artists have in common:-Patti Smith, Mannfred Mann's Earth Band, and the Pointer Sisters?
    18. What unusual thing does the Pointer Sisters "Fire" have in common with Kelly Marie's "Feels like I'm in love"

    15. A real stab in the dark, but i know Virginia Plain is known for having the title in the last line of the song. I think Up the junction is the same, but unsure about The Prince.

    Correct, all three don't mention the song title until the last words of the song.

    18. I know that "Feel like I'm in love" was offered to Elvis but he turned it down,so I'm guessing "Fire" was also offered to him ?
