That's funny, Nigel! I thought #7 was "Twist and Shout" and #15 was "Oh, You Beautiful Doll!" And how 'bout "Little Bit O' Luck" for #12?

I feel pretty stupid about White Christmas---but I don't think I ever would have gotten it.

Parker and I managed to get 18 / 20. I just couldn't get Leap up & down.... although I thought it had to do with underwear. Parker got Good luck charm ( I had Lucky,Lucky, Lucky!!!) and when we finally got Help me Rhonda, we nearly wet ourselves. I'm not counting Distant drums as it was sheer luck that I wrote down "the sound of distant drums".

I enjoyed that. Almost like a cross word, but you don't have to worry so much about your spelling!

Again, again!
