NEW GAME--" WHAT'S IN A NAME"

[Marian]

Is Waterloo a person Marian, or can they include real places too?
Marian

[mariana44]

The person's name in that song is "Napoleon"--and place names are not allowed as I think we have done that in another quiz.

[Marian]

Of course Marian, I just didn't go through the words.
Marian

[mariana44]

From "The Wizard of Oz"---"if I only had a brain"

"With the thoughts you'd be thinking,
I could be another Lincoln,
If I only had a brain "

[john]

We could have "Portrait Of My Love".
(it would take, I know, a Michelangelo)

[mariana44]

That is a good one John---we should have thought of that sooner!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Yes. we overlooked that one. well done John.

[Marian]

Yes, fancy us missing that one until now John. Well done!

Here's another.. "The Skye Boat Song," in which both Charlie (Bonnie Prince Charlie) and Flora (Flora MacDonald) are mentioned.

[Marian]

Have we had "Mary's Boy Child" yet?
Marian

[Marian]

or "I'm Hen(e)ry the V111th I Am"
Marian

[mariana44]

I am pretty sure that we have not had Marys Boy Child--so that is a different one.

Here's another--

"A Nightingale sang in Berkely Square"

"As the tap dancing feet of Astaire"

[Lena & Harry Smith]

There's " The British Grenadiers " with some talk of ALEXANDER, and some of HERCULES, of HECTOR and LYSANDER.

[john]

How about "The Heart Of A Man" featuring the line "SINCE ADAM AND EVE FIRST BEGAN".

[Marian]

That's really strange Lena and Harry...I was trying to remember the names mentioned in "The British Grenadiers" last night, but I could only remember the version we used to sing in school, which had different words!
Marian

Another good one we've missed so far John..

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Marian, as kids, we also sang words to "THE BRITISH GRENADIERS ", different to those that we sang at school.
