Can you think of a song other than the obvious Beatles one (which was covered by Siouxie and the Banshees), which contains the lyric, "Dear Prudence"?
I've had someone threaten me with violence after I'd finally told them the answer to this one. |

I can't answer your question but I am interested why someone would threaten you with violence.
Sounds like someone has some serious issues to deal with. Iven

Cut you in half? put you in a box a stick swords through you? So, um- what's the song? how about a clue?

It's a song you'll all know and have probably had a go at singing at some point.

No, it is actually possible, there is a very well known song that will fit. These things are no fun if you aren't left kicking yourself if you don't get it.
There is another clue which could give it away, but I'll hold on to that for now. My friend (who's a DJ I play a lot of these sort of games with) was annoyed because he'd spent an afternoon racking his brains (and his record collection) trying to figure it out. After that it became a running joke for a short while with him loudly musing over what kind of revenge he could exact upon me, at one point posting a mock "situations vacant" ad on one of the forums we both post on calling for a hitman. |

There's the Our Lady Peace cover, the U2 cover, the Alanis Morissette cover, the Grateful Dead cover, the XLs cover . . . BTW, isn't there a song that was put out a few years ago in which the lyrics were nothing but the titles of Beatles tunes? I'm pretty sure you'd find "Dear Prudence" in that song. |

I mentioned the Siouxie one particularly because before I've had loads of people saying that without knowing it was a cover version. I might add this was on a goth forum, and a lot of goths tend to ignore any music put out before 1978.
Don't know about the other one you mentioned, but that's still sort of obscure. Here's that other clue; it does matter to whom you are singing the song in question. |

Sat here for a minute thinking of this, and then went "DUH!" I PMed you HelenHeld in order to keep others guessing. I didn't want to spoil the fun of people figuring it out.

.. and we have a correct answer!
I'll give the rest of you a little longer for this before I put it to bed and give you another, that is unless anyone else has any they'd like to set. |

My wife just figured this out when I mentioned it to her in pizza hut (even though I'd read the clue wrong).
She wasn't at all surprised that physical violence was involved! We rushed straight back to bask in glory only to find outselves in third place. Once a loser... |

Well done, now the podium's been filled (lastnite, I didn't get your PM but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt) time for another, I feel. If anyone's still stumped by "Dear Prudence", ask nicely and I'll tell you the answer. I won't post it here in case anyone's still thinking about it.
Next question; Which classic TV show featured the Dagenham Ant in it's opening titles? |
|||||||||
KerryJK Special user Northampton UK 621 Posts |
About this one; it's a British show, though one which has been successful in the US and elsewhere, and which I'm sure will have one or two fans amongst café clientelle.
I'll keep any other clues to myself, but you'll have a better idea of how my mind works by now (yep, it's another one of those lateral thinking tricks!). Go ahead and google the Dagenham Ant if you think it'll help. |
|||||||||
Beetroot Loyal user 267 Posts |
Googling the ant was the first thing I did. Didn't help though. Is the show still running?

Pm'd you my wife's answer. If she's right, you're a strange bunch.

KerryJK Special user Northampton UK 621 Posts |
I didn't say googling would help, only that you were welcome to try if you thought it would. Ain't I a stinker? <gnaws on carrot>
It turns out Beetroot's wife's answer was incorrect (or at least not the answer I'm looking for), but I'll hold off posting any more clues for now. I promise no more 'sucker' clues! |

I have absolutely no idea at all. My wife had guessed "Citizen Smith" (I've never seen it). She delved back into her memory and seemed to recall (or contrive) that the title character in the titles stood in front of the (old?) Ford car plant in Dagenham, blocking out the letter's P and L in the words "Dagenham Plant".
If that's really true then we have a remarkable coincidence on our hands or otherwise she's trying to make me look a fool by making things up. |

Could be either, I only vaguely recall that show. Anyway, it's not nearly as well known as the show I'm looking for.
Some help; try saying the words out loud repeatedly, one of three things could happen. One, a hideous insect demon could arrive from the dimension behind the nearest mirror, though this could just be a mythquotation (sorry!). Two, all will become clear and you'll get the answer. Or three, it will prove no help whatsover, in which case you should try singing the words repeatedly instead. |
