16 Somewhere over the rainbow

[RichardSlade]

Is the first word of 16 "Were" or "We're"?

[Mamyalynne]

16 ♫Somewhere over...♫

[RichardSlade]

♫ Weigh a pie ♫

[Mamyalynne]

Ha! Want pie now.

[RichardSlade]

In which case, you'd better start tonight's music thread with the first track from Physical Graffiti :-)

[TheWinner]

Do the words have to be in order? Ariana Grande ?

[RichardSlade]

Ariana Grande occurred to me too.

[TheWinner]

thanks RichardSlade, thought I was on the wrong track for a minute.

I think they do have to be in the correct order - see post halfway down here (if it's the same quiz anyway)

21 theres a 5 4 ...rainy milo

[fiction-factory]

My first thought for 21 was Ariana Grande too. maybe the letters have to be together but not necessarily in the right order.
39 ♫All about that bass...♫

[fiction-factory]

Of course 21 could be a male. But I'm pretty certain no singer male or female has RAIN in their name (apart from Meghan Trainor but she isn't 6,6) unless it's someone new off The Voice or America's Got talent, or maybe a country singer. Can anyone else help?

[granny grump]

Thank you all for your help - I could kick myself over 16. :-(
39. I had never heard of Meghan Trainor I found her described as a singer songwriter and actress but not as a model.
Left with 21 Young American singer (6 6)

I've also noticed that I havent finished
q 14 Grace Kelly (6 7) I have Rainier but is the whole answer Prince Rainier?

[fiction-factory]

Yes, i'm not sure Meghan Trainor is also a model- although maybe she has done some photo shoots based on her size. Does clue say 'role model' - she is sometimes described thus

[granny grump]

Thank you fiction-factory Just described as Singer actress and model

[fiction-factory]

14 will include Rainier but I can't see why it would be Prince. She was Princess. i doubt she was called Madame Rainier.

21 - I'm pretty sure it is Ariana Grande (trick question or setter error). Or maybe it's not what it seems- maybe it means an American bird. Or t's a reference to Neil Young (Young, American Singer)

[fiction-factory]

re q14, please can you confirm that Grace Kelly was the full clue? If so, I don't see how it can be Prince Ranier. Did it perhaps say: mr grace kelly or husband of Grace kelly or similar?
