Trivia Question
Re: Trivia Question
To clarify, the song title doesn't contain the conjunction but it is the first word sung so Metallica is out (first word is "Halls")
Telly Savalas is 70s, isn't it?

Re: Trivia Question
I'm unclear now. Is it the song title or the lyrics that we should be searching for?

Re: Trivia Question
Probably both clue and further clarification time:
The first word sung in the song is "And"
The word "and" doesn't appear in the title but the title does appear in the first line (preceded by "And ....... ")
The song was also the name of the album and it was also the first song on the album.
I'll post the answer by 3pm ET because I think you'll all hate this question if it goes on much longer.

Re: Trivia Question
The execrable True by Spandau Ballet begins with the line "So true, funny how it seems..." but i don't think the so qualifies as a subjunctive in that particular instance.
Re: Trivia Question
OK - so I must have been listening to a weird remix on my 80s mix radio because when I went to find the song on YouTube, it still starts with "And..." but doesn't have the title in the first line.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The version I heard started with: And now it's solid, solid as a rock
So feel free to ignore any further trivia questions from me :(
Either way, I thought it was unusual for a song to start with 'and... '

Re: Trivia Question
I guessed it would be more than 1 but I was unable to think of any others so added some framework around it. My framework ended up being wrong though so I take full responsibility for this sham of a question.Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 3:05pmNot too many number ones but loads of songs start with "And" as the first word.

The betrayal I'm feeling over this question makes me doubt whether I'll ever be able to love again.

Re: Trivia Question
Quite a few songs starting with AND mentioned in this thread:

I was really surprised how many there were.
