	the spelling 'true colours' should also count as correct for the answer 'true colors'

	matching a bet is "see" right? I thought "call" was the end of the hand? Where am I mistaken?

	some of the clues were so good that even if I didn't actually know the song, I got it. Nice job!

	markyb:	May 30th, 2010 at 06:33 GMT		14 points
	You see a bet if you are going to raise immediately after or if there are other players in the game. The last person can either see and raise or call. Once the call is made, wagering is over and each player shows their hand. Technically "see" and "call" fit the description of the clue.

	I only know of one song containing the word 'ugly' (to finish the Clint Eastwood trilogy) .... Ain't Never Gone To Bed With An Ugly Woman, But I Sure Woke Up With a Few ...Hope this helps

	westknife:	May 30th, 2010 at 09:14 GMT		4 points
	Nitpick time - they're not all Hot 100 hits... at least one song ("Hound Dog") was before the Hot 100 chart was created in 1958.

	alexhaz64:	May 30th, 2010 at 09:33 GMT		6 points
	"miss jackson" "dream believer" and "teenage angel." So close, yet so far...

	Lil2:	May 30th, 2010 at 10:12 GMT		21 points
	it doesn't help that instead of 'fantastic four' i read 'fab four' and apparently there aren't any songs called 'wild john', 'wild paul', 'wild george', or 'wild ringo'.

	JimAkin:	May 30th, 2010 at 10:42 GMT		4 points
	4:00 Taffy is my favorite new snack. The Rolling Stones had a single in 1986 called "Winning Ugly" that could complete the Clint Eastwood movie trifecta.

	Scurra:	May 30th, 2010 at 12:08 GMT		5 points
	I'm not a rabid music fan, but I was surprised at how many of these I could guess from the clues (and kicked myself for a couple I missed.) Very nice idea, executed well.

	@jtrichey, markyb: In poker, seeing and calling are the same thing. However, despite what is commonly depicted in tv/movies, seeing a bet and then raising in the same turn is called a string bet and is illegal - your entire turn must be made (or announced) in one motion as seeing and then raising could possibly allow you to see the reaction of other players to you just seeing the bet as well as the possibility that a quick player after you may act thinking you are just calling. Also, a hand can end in a call but also in a check or a fold. I am assuming that the clue has changed but it is perfectly acceptable as it is written now. Personally, I prefer to just bet, raise or fold though.

	Flagg:	May 30th, 2010 at 13:44 GMT		3 points
	Very nice. I couldn't get past "shovel" going for "digger". Gold Shovel has a nice ring to it though.

	BonnieH:	May 30th, 2010 at 13:48 GMT		1 point
	I'm very surprised that somebody has never heard of the term "cutting a rug".

	GaiusMarius:	May 30th, 2010 at 13:55 GMT		11 points
	Albumen Christmas. My favorite.

	dtherfel:	May 30th, 2010 at 15:53 GMT		1 point
	^^^ or "Albumen Who-Hash."

	Down is a goose feather.

	katy_:	May 30th, 2010 at 16:48 GMT		18 points
	Can you accept "Miss Jackson" for "Ms. Jackson"? Miss is still an abbreviation for Mississippi... Also I think there could be a better clue for "yourself" than "do it ______".

	barnztormre:	May 30th, 2010 at 19:57 GMT		0 points
	^^^ Ditto that. I kept trying "Miss Jackson" but eventually assumed that Jackson was not, in fact, the capital of Mississippi.

	beachfeet:	May 30th, 2010 at 21:28 GMT		7 points
	Can someone explain to me what makes "The 'A' in AL or ABC" have an answer of "American"?

	betraisefold:	May 30th, 2010 at 21:35 GMT		5 points
	@beachfeet: AL is American League, one of the two divisions in major league baseball. ABC is (I believe) American Broadcasting Corporation, one of the big TV networks in the US.

	beachfeet:	May 30th, 2010 at 21:47 GMT		21 points
	@betra: AHHH...I was thinking AL as in Alabama and ABC as in letters of the alphabet. Fail.

	fm_:	May 30th, 2010 at 22:40 GMT		8 points
	Why would it accept Miss Jackson? That's not the name of the song. Of course, this is coming from the guy who missed the "abbr." part and assumed he must have gotten the capital wrong when "Mississippi Jackson" wasn't the answer.

	desafinado440:	May 31st, 2010 at 03:12 GMT		-2 points
	should maybe use a clue for "Jean" that is pronounced like "Gene" rather than "Zhaun". Maybe "denim pant"

	JaxBored:	May 31st, 2010 at 04:00 GMT		3 points
	@bugger39: Down is the soft feathers located closest to the body in almost all birds. It's the feathers they're born with and are the best insulators. @desafinado440: I don't think it should matter how the word is pronounced as long as it's spelled the same way. If you know the answers to both clues, then you'll get the answer right regardless.

	saw:	May 31st, 2010 at 05:22 GMT		4 points
	Nicely done... but... although Sayonara does mean "goodbye", Konnichi-wa does NOT mean "hello", it means "good afternoon". Good morning is "O-hayoo gozaimasu" and good evening, "Konnban-wa" If you're on the telephone though, you say "moshi-moshi" :)

	Seems I wasn't the only one confused that was no song called either "Meet me," "See me," or "Match me". Really do like these quizzes that give you 2 bites at the cherry, and bonus points for including songs from a range of eras!

	can someone explain the cutting a rug/dancing clue?

	707penguin:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 00:16 GMT		1 point
	I absolutely LOVED the Ms. Jackson clue.

	planetmutty:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 02:45 GMT		2 points
	I agree with MovieDynamic and lwfc. I've never heard the term "cutting a rug", Also I thought the clue "Do it ___________" was a little obscure to say the least.
