The "Be Unique" archives!

[ "Be Unique!" Archives]

• • The "Be Unique" category for the week of April 6-11, 2003:

Name TWO Top 40, 1955-1985 charting song titles for which the entire title of the first song is embedded within the title of the second song.

The player who submits a completely unique song title combination with the sum of the two songs' chart position totals closest to 2 will receive a bonus point.

(The "best" total one could receive is a "2" -- that is, if both songs were #1 on the Top 40 charts, 1 + 1 = 2.)

If there is a tie for best chart position total, the tie breaker will be the total number of weeks both songs were on the Top 40 charts.

For consideration of uniqueness, BOTH SONG TITLES IN COMBINATION must be unique.

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