Yes, I was on the "I'd like to teach the world to sing" track--but I was not sure about the 2nd part-all I could think of was "Sing a song"--but I think that is only "Sing".

You may be right Marian, with the nursery rhyme connection-I had not picked up on that.

I was considering using Earth Wind and Fire's Sing A Song, but it is the EWF song that I just do not like; it's an immediate "turn the station" when it comes on the radio. Everything else (especially their love songs) I like very much. So I went with Sing A Song Of Sixpence.

A clue for this one too....
The second answer is a musical. I'm not too sure if it was originally, but it certainly is now.

Well done Lena and Harry, it certainly is. :lol: :lol: I nearly added a third, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," but I wasn't sure about whether it was actually a song or an alternative title for something. Perhaps you can help?
Your turn..

Funnily enough I had those 2 lined up for the future, but I could not think of a good enough clue--your clue was very good Marian.

I am beginning to really like this game !!

Marian. Boulevard of Broken Dreams has been referred to as Sunset Boulevard. Tony Bennett has recorded the song.
Anyway here's another that should be easy..... A Month Too lovely to forget particularly in the Springtime ooh la la :lol:

Don't know the answer L&H, but Frances Langford recorded "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" - so lovely 8) 8)

I Can't Help But Cry, But I Must Go On" :(
