The Beautiful Amazing Wonderful Extraordinary Beautiful One Word Yes Lyric Quiz

[Yesspaz]

I made and posted this lyrics quiz back in 1999 on nfte.org. Since we haven't had a quiz for a while, I figured I'd update it and throw it on here. So...



YES LYRICS GAME
===============


Here are the rules:

1. This is a ONE WORD quiz. Each clue is ONE WORD.
2. Each word should be a word that is only in one Yessong, with a few exceptions at the end. I did not double check every single one, so if there are a few songs that have the word "perennial" in it, don't flame me. Thank you.
3. Some songs may be used more than once, but not every Yes song is used.
4. There are 153 questions.
5. Use a sheet of paper or blank word processing document and right the answers down, 1 - 153. I will post the answers in the near future.
6. All clues are "legit" YESSONGS, including ABWH (i.e. no solo projects, no ASIA, GTR, Badger, KC, etc.)
7. Some are really easy, some are really hard, but they are not arranged in any order other than "themes" of the words.


and most important...

8. NO CHEATING. Please don't go to some lyrics page or search online, and don't use your liner notes. See how well you can do from memory.

PS. There is no prize or anything, so don't email me the answers. It's just a fun little thing to do.

Ok here we go, finally...

BONUS - Name as many Yes instrumentals as you can (I came up with 21).
Some of these are tricky and may be open to interpretation, so don't get to
uptight about this one! [HINT: one is a VERY rare b-side, and may not be
considered Yes, but then again, the boxed set...] There are probably more
than the ones I dug up....

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

I hate to be the one to ask the obvious, but......

What's the question? You give all clues but never specifically say what it is you want answered.

I am assuming you are looking for the title of each song by YES that is represented by that unique word.

Signed,

OverConfused

Yeah, that.

[TheFish]

21 instrumentals? Are you including run-through boot extra stuff that had none? those hardly count. It was just extra junk to sell a new reproduction. Or passages that had no vocals? Lives don't count. That's streching it. Yes was a band known for it's lack of instrumentals. Being all inclusive is fine but there is a question of was it finished product?

[Yesspaz]

Officially released instrumentals, be it live, studio, extras, aborted sessions, whatever, but no duplicates - meaning The Yes Album and Yessongs each have "Mood for a Day," but that counts as one.

[thegooze]

YOU Have Got to be Kidding me!

[Yesspaz]

Nope!

OK!

[tobytanzer]

101 reregaining Awaken.... but it's not an instrumental...lol

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

The list is too overwhelming, Spaz. 5-10 would have been a challenge. That list of 154 is daunting. Love the idea, but who has that kind of time?

[tobytanzer]

106 silly (human race) -- Yours is no Disgrace. This is fun, but 154 may take a while.

It's fun, and there's no time limit. As a little group project, no one has to do all 154!

[Yesspaz]

So, is this a dud?

[Yesspaz]

Alright, folks, I did 13 and 25 for us. Everyone do 3 and lets see where that gets us!

[TheFish]

117. Ply? is that a typo? Or is it from the gibberish at the beginning of The Ancient.

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

Okay, my OCD kicked in and I did about 18. I was going to do 20, but then my OCD kicked off (thank god).

enjoy.

[Yesspaz]

Hey, OHD! Rock and roll, man!
