A Music Quiz

[Horus]

Ok folks Christine has asked me to set a musical quiz.
The rules are simple, the following line should give you a clue as to what the theme of the songs are all about:

" Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain "

Now all you have to do is to put what you think is the title of the song after the correct artists in the list.

Best if you just copy & paste the list again after you add your own answers, as that way we can all see how it is being filled in.

Here we go, good luck

The year is 1980, Siouxsie and the Banshees =

The year is 1969, Johnny Cash =

The year is 1970, Christie =

The year is 1968, The lemon Pipers =

The year is 1961, The Marcels =

The year is 1957, Duke Ellington =
(a very slight cheat with this one)

The year is 2008, Coldplay =

[Horus]

: Karen You are really on the ball with this one Every one is correct.
And there was me wondering if it may have been a bit on the difficult side

[Christine]

You did good, were looking at a war or prison link was jsut about to post but youve beat me to it, we had realsied it was neither of our original thoughts and that only left cplour !!

[Horus]

You were on the right track Christine the clue of course was the little nemonic for remembering the colours in a rainbow.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo & Violet
And of course each songs name started with the appropriate colour.
Karen got it in a lot less time than it took me to think it up though

[Christine]

Mmmm me thinks those of us who enjoy your quizzes Horus, have some competition, wonder what she can be bribed with

[Karenh]

Bribe ??? that easy a flight to hurghada

[Christine]

Get out of here you nut case, if i had that kind of dosh i would be writing your postacrd as we speak ha ha

[Karenh]

Hmm im probably wrong Peter Gabriel

[Christine]

Which era Horus, there is a Peter Gabriel thing called book of love but i get a feeling there was another

[Netyoda]

William Hazlitt?

[Christine]

Dont know for sure Lee, but i think peter gabriel did a cover for someone else, im sure its originally from an earlier era 50's maybe 60's.

[Netyoda]

Well, William Hazlitt wrote Liber Amoris, literally (from Latin) The Book Of Love

[Horus]

Sorry folks, but I will say it is a musical question, so keep in that vein and ............ read the question again
methinks that maybe Lee is on the right track

[Netyoda]

Would it be Eric Martin then?

[Horus]

Sorry Lee, but keep with the musical theme
Keep racking your brains guys and I may give another small clue tomorrow
I rekon you are all thinking this question is harder than it really is

[Christine]

All i can come up with is the Monotones or Peter Gabriel, so if it wasnt Peter Gabriel and it wasnt the "group" the Monotones, was it some/one of the band members??
