It's about time to have another quiz!
Here's a lovely song by those two Spanish senoritas, Baccara. They trill their way through Darling, purring oozy, schmoozie, floozie sentiments and (somehow) shoe-horning in a mention of Birmingham.
But there's one point where I have no idea what they're singing about.
In the chorus (after the Darling! Darling Darling! bits), they sing: "...and I imagine all the something we can do."
It begins - I think - with a G... but what is the something?
Make me laugh, make me cry, but please tell me. Fabulous prizes for those who answer.

Let's Get Quizzical
Monday, March 03, 2008Every week, in my office, we have a quiz. The quizzes usually have a geography theme (we're nerdy like that). This week I provided the EuroPopQuiz!
Now I'd like to offer the quiz to the dear readers of acediscovery. I may make this a regular occurance as quizzes are the ace fun.
So - listen to or download the mp3 and reply. The mp3 has 7 sound clips - each from a different country. The task is to identify which country the songs come from - hint: all the countries are in Europe.
I'll select a winner, and there will be a prize! (most likely a CD)
