Following the same rules as the other "What ____ am I" threads, the point of this thread is that you ask yes or no questions until someone guesses the correct song. That same person then chooses the next song.

since you put the word song in quotes, I'm going to guess that it's something more "spoken" than sung.. so will take a wild guess with "All That Jazz" Reply #81. Dec 08 12, 3:21 PM |

The musical itself was first performed in Broadway towards the end of the 1950's followed by its appearance on the West End stage about a year later. Not Guys and Dolls nor All that Jazz. J'roo, you've more or less hit the nail on the head about my quotes, the song is partly spoken/sung badly to fit the situation! Reply #82. Dec 08 12, 3:50 PM |

Spot on J'roo ... that was a real classic in my view, the more times I hear it the more I appreciate it. Reply #84. Dec 08 12, 4:53 PM |

oops sorry, hadn't checked this thread. Next up is a song from a German musical of the 1920s. Reply #85. Dec 09 12, 4:51 PM |

Okay folks, it's not as hard as you might think from the first clue LOL Once translated into English a few decades later this song became a huge hit for at least three artists and over time, has been recorded by more than 30 well-known entertainers. Reply #86. Dec 10 12, 5:18 PM |

Methinks you have it! Did not realize how many times that song was recorded, or that it was originally German! Reply #88. Dec 10 12, 7:57 PM |

But I will go with Die Moritat von Mackie Messer, just in case jakeroo was looking for the German song. ;P Reply #89. Dec 10 12, 7:58 PM |

Oh and if you want to see/hear Kevin Spacey (who is quite good at impressions) singing the song in the movie about Bobby Darin, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loEAFCMx77A Reply #91. Dec 10 12, 8:28 PM |

A song covered many times. Songwriters died very young. Reply #92. Dec 11 12, 4:30 AM |

I'm going to say 40 is "very young" and go with Imagine, John Lennon. Reply #94. Dec 11 12, 9:09 AM |

From the 1970s. The songwriters were both younger than Lennon when they died. Reply #95. Dec 11 12, 9:25 AM |

The songwriters do have a connection with Lennon. Reply #96. Dec 11 12, 9:27 AM |

British songwriters. The singer who did the best known version also died too young. The singer who did the second best known version is still with us. Reply #97. Dec 12 12, 2:59 PM |

Were both singers male? Reply #98. Dec 12 12, 10:36 PM |

Well, I guess the question should be "are both singers male"... Reply #99. Dec 12 12, 10:36 PM |

The two songwriters were also singers and were male. The most famous version was done by a male. The second most famous version was done by a female. Reply #100. Dec 13 12, 2:40 AM |
