Not Another Alphabet Quiz!



Here's another complete alphabet, this time entirely made up of songs (all but one or two are in the DT). Answers, as usual, on the forum.

A - Following the dance, love may not be all it appears.
B - Sylvan infants are exposed.
C - His love's large and pleasant though, from her name, she ought to be a right cow.
D - Ladies shouldn't indulge in this occupation. It'll leave you with nothing but dreams you can't afford.
E - Magical animal from the lakes can only be destroyed by a silver bullet.
F - There are many in the woods. 1513 to be precise.
G - Earthbound, as it was otherwise too high. Always punctual though.
H - He drew the short straw and sunk a merchant ship.
I - Here's a puzzle, just what Eve did to Adam.
J - If he wasn't so fastidious about where he slept, she may well have been less disappointed.
K - McCall's 98 mystery man - was he last seen in the Isle of Man?
L - The lad's silly angles cause havoc, but it all ends well with an extraordinary division.
M - Lord Lurgan's lad beats the English rose at Waterloo.
N - Midlands beverage, like no liquor on earth!
O - The boss says he's sailing on the morning tide, so she thinks she'll try girls instead.
P - I'm rising, you're not, and so it's farewell!
Q - We'll drink the health of them all, where the girls and grass are scanty.
R - She appeared like an angel in feature and form, so he showed her it!
S - Visiting his love in hospital - she's so sweet, so cool, so fair ... so dead!
T - Trio of thieves from a Norfolk port, all coming to bad ends.
U - We know where she hid it, but her dad wonders where she got it and who from.
V - Stand-in church musician is unashamedly sentimental.
W - Lord, what an ally. The panacea is in prayer.
X - Late winter naval action leaves seven turks sunk.
Y - Certain rules of decorum apply on an omnibus, depending on the relationship.
Z - Adge would like to swim in the low countries.


If you do as well as for the previous quizzes, it should take about 3 hours or so. Collaboration is strongly encouraged and comments about songs, tunes, writers, performers (or anything else) are very welcome.

Good luck.
