It doesn't contain the word 'space' or 'moon' but the quotidian clue has been picked up on. I think I'll give you the weekend to have another think about it and then give you the answer on Monday if you haven't got it. I thought it would be quite easy but then again maybe it isn't.

:?: Could we have a musical clue, Jon? Something related to the composer or songwriter, or the singers who made the songs famous.

Yes, a clue along those lines would be useful Jon. With such a wide spectrum of all kinds of music, I must admit I'm finding this quiz very difficult. :oops: :oops:

Our answer with the Two songs was thinking of love as a wordly experience, :roll: some kind of every day feeling, :roll: so we need some extra help here Jon :lol: :lol:

It is difficult, isn't it?! The performers of the songs both came to prominence in the 1970s. That's your final clue.

I expect when we know the answer we will say--of course!!

But at the moment, I think we are all struggling. you will have to give us an easier clue, otherwise we will never get there--and I want to put my next one on, before I go away on Thursday !!

I wanted to guess Outta Space Oddity as Billy Preston and David Bowie became popular in the 1970s. But Jon said that space is not in the title. :cry:

I was thinking The Carpenters and David Bowie, who again sang outer galaxy type songs but I'm probably way off too. :? :?
Marian :wink:
P.S. Sorry, just noticed Paul already mentioned David Bowie.

Well, you got the Bowie reference right at least. I will put you all out of your misery.

The answer is:

One Day In Your Life On Mars.

The other artist was of course Michael Jackson. There, told you it was easy!!

I was like Marian and thinking Carpenters and David Bowie--
"Space Oddity" and "Calling occupants--etc etc."--but could not match them up, then "Space" was ruled out. Yes, maybe we should have got that!

As I am going away soon, I want to put my one on next, if that is Ok.

" Did this singer have meadows full of buttercups , on her island home".

And to give you an extra clue to make it easier, the answer is a singer, followed by a song title.

Now it's my turn to be flummoxed. I have an idea it might involve Dusty Springfield.

And Australian singer Christine Anu sang about her island home in 2000! and there are songs that start with Anu - but none of them in English!
