    Collated answers thus far:

    2. That that shall happen will happen, Que sera, sera, Doris Day
    3. Tazan :heart: Jane, Jungle Love, Morris Day

    4. What do the artists have in common: named Day

    So, the only other “Day” I can think of is Green Day but I can’t come up up with a song that fits the clues...

    So the win goes to @deckerp (with @Watching_The_Wheels getting the assist)

    This artist had some hits about the same time as Alan O'Day and Undercover Angel.

    I didn't know the definition I used with sooth below, so you may need to do some digging. I had a bit of a time coming up with a clue for the artist.

    Lion of the Zodiac + (a person who predicts the future - sooth) / Quantity of Affection = [artist/song]

    I’m pretty confident the artist is Leo Sayer but not as confident that the song is More Than I Can Say (1 of only 2 songs I know from him)...
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,484 Member
    Leo Sayer is the correct artist. He had quite a few hits, some not as big as others.

    The song title is a question about the quantity of affection. "Da da da, for heaven's sake..." where "da da da" is the title.

    Leo Sayer / (a person who predicts the future - "sooth") = [artist/song]

    Da da da, does it take
    Da da da, for heaven sake

    Yes. I guess Leo Sayer and Alan O'Day were bigger in Iowa or something. :smile:

    I'm having problems putting any songs together on this one. Of the bands listed I think Bananarama had the fewest hits, so I figured maybe that'd be the best place to start.

    1. Crosby, Stills, and Nash
    2. Bad Company
    3. Bananarama - Cruel Summer or Venus?
    4. The Mothers of Invention
