Someone asked me the other day, in between bong hits, "where are the '60s songs, man?" Maybe my original lyrics quiz was a bit ageist? It's possible. So, I've decided to tack on a '60s section as well as lyrics of the New Millennium, for those of you with a short attention span. Since I had 3 segments in the last quiz ('70s, '80s and '90s) and I get very anal about stupid things like keeping everything "even", I'm going to make up a 3rd category. I'm not going for '50s songs, so I've decided that the final category will be Movie Song lyrics. In keeping with my ageist attitude, all movies that these songs come from will be from the '70s or later. The format will be the same as the original quiz, with 3 questions each in 3 levels of difficulty and a bonus question per level. Good luck!'60s Songs

Thanks for posting your Q's about Days. Just recently I got retuned in to the show and what's going on. First off Belle married Phillip and is pregnant by him (supposedly, but who knows?)! Shawn of course still insists that they're meant for each other. Nicole is still around and is wanting Sami to help her get back Brady whose engaged to Chole who has this burn or mark on her face that makes her self concuious. As for Jack really in the dying stage, I'm not sure......but after Jack asked Frankie to keep tabs on Jen I'm not sure what is going to happen.
I don't really like all the teens on Days.....espcialy what's her name..the snotty, rude girl! I do like Abby though.
I think there are still some people left on the island........and Tony is on the island.
Whew lots to catch up on I know. if you go to daysofourlives.com you can get a pretty good overview of what's been going on:)

I havent googled (I swear), but itsn't is Strange Twist of Fate, with Olivia Newton John and sone other dude?
Shannon
OH YEAH OH YEAH No alzheimers here!!!!
Thanks for the pick me up!!!
Shannon
By the way, he's probably "the other dude" you're thinking of. But "Twist of Fate" was just ONJ by herself. She and John had a duet on the soundtrack called "Take A Chance".
Twist of Fate is one of the songs I use when I go to the gym. John is cool, but completely ruined my Kelly Preston fantasies. I mean, man, how can anyone ever follow an act like that? Exspecially when he saved them by emergency landing his airplane after the engine failed.
