The "Be Unique" archives!

[ "Be Unique!" Archives]

• • The "Be Unique" category for the week of March 2-7, 2003:

Name a Top 40, 1955-1985 charting artist/group name containing a type of animal.

Imbedding the word within another word is not OK this week. :)

Uniqueness is determined by artist name. Of all unique submissions, the artist with the highest charting song (closest to #1) receives the bonus point. If the tie is still not broken then the song that was on the Top 40 Billboard charts for the longest time will receive the bonus.

Three point responses: (No other player gave same answer)
