Don't say Ba Shi in Mandarin.
Do you mean Sha Bi, Uncle?

ps westers - Canute
Yes. I just learnt the phrase in Mandarin a few days ago, and keep mixing it up. I find Cantonese easier to remember but not to pronounce.

The 'ba' goes first and means stupid or crazy as in Thai. I better check on the shi.

The quiz theme is music lyrics. Give the song's name or the artist/band.

1 You kissed me baby, woo, it feels good
Hold me baby, learn to let me love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I'm a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine

2 She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair

3 No sun will shine in my day today
(No sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won't come out to play

4 He says, "Son can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

5 Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

6 The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful, and so are you

7 I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song

8 I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a, oh-a

9 Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to
Me, to me

10 … There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

11 That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light

12 And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold

13 I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

14 Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about ev'rything

15 Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school

Some strange and totally irrelevant questions. Hindu holiday? switch from French to English in 1400. Should be relevant questions relating to law and contemporary UK.

I looked at Doodoo's quiz, and got confused about the 75% pass mark.

It seems counter-intuitive that anyone who scores more that 50% would be interested. 8)
