I've had a look at the tour a while ago Lena and Harry. It's quite interesting. Don't suppose I'll ever go there though! :lol:

As a complete guess then Marian, I'm going to try "Twixt Twelve and Twenty". :?: :?:

Marian :wink:

Harry and Lena have got the correct answer--well done to you.

It is "The Long and Winding Road"----as opposed to Downing Street,
which is a Short, Straight, Street !!!!!!

Marian - It has to be We're Gonna Change The World.

I'm so sure I'm right, that I'm gonna submit a new one! :D :idea: :)

This is a wild and challenging piano piece by Abram Chasins:

Rush Hour In Hong Kong

What Matt Monro song is the opposite?

I'm very tempted to say "Slow Boat to China" --but as far as I know Matt did not sing that---so I am going to have to think about this one.

Sorry, but you're both incorrect. You're not on the right track yet. What could be the opposite of being in Rush Hour In Hong Kong? That's all the clues for now. Good luck guessing over the weekend. Talk to you Monday!

I have had a think---and I am going to suggest--

"Its a wonderful world"---on the assumption that "Rush Hour in Hong Kong "is anything but wonderful !!


Or "On a wonderful day like today" for the same reason.

Now you're headed in the right direction, Marian. Those are good guesses, but not right. Yes, rush hour in Hong Kong is likely anything but wonderful. But what else can it be? What other words and images could describe it? And what Matt Monro song expresses the exact opposite?
