Sign in with google to leave a comment of your own:
- Tom Wilson 🤓6:55 · 2021-12-05T13:13:15.141ZA fun one ... complete with giggle AND daylong earworm. Thanks!
- FrankieHeck 🤓6:03 · 2021-12-05T13:15:24.928ZEasy like Sunday morning. And fun :-)
- Thanks! I think this is the first time I've heard that phrase used for PB puzzles - very fitting!
- Meg 3s · 2021-12-05T13:34:55.194ZNice and easy!
- Capn Rick 11s · 2021-12-05T13:46:16.404ZNice fun easy one Will! Just what I needed this morning.
- What’s UPDOG?(Kidding)
- Nothin’ much, what’s up with you?
- Byron 🤓11:21 · 2021-12-05T14:53:28.549ZI got your number
- Should "moron" be "morons"? (and I should know.)
- You mean based on the way the clue is worded? If that's what you mean, I believe the current clue is correct. "They" can be used to address a single person (see MW def. 3), and "tool" is also singular.
- boharr 5s · 2021-12-05T15:20:17.174ZFun and easy. I like it.
- Qmark 🤓2:07 · 2021-12-05T15:47:27.522ZFun puzzle, Will! Not only did one across make me laugh...the meta answer did too. (I like how you got the "O" in there).
- Sometimes, I sneak in Canadianisms just for you, Mark! Other times, they organically find their way into the theme, like the one here did!
- Jeff G 5s · 2021-12-05T16:28:21.623ZQuick solve, very entertaining!
- I K Snamhcok 3s · 2021-12-05T17:19:38.485ZNow this little ditty will be running through my mind on my health walk this afternoon. Cool!
- MamaEllen 2s · 2021-12-05T18:07:06.117ZGeez I was getting frustrated that the title of the song wasn’t working. Serves me right for not reading the meta-prompts and knowing what I was looking for. Thanks for the earworm Will - This one brings me back to high school :-)
- Caroline 👇5:39 · 2021-12-06T22:41:15.169ZBut the title of the song is the answer
- oldjudge 4s · 2021-12-05T18:07:29.509ZSilly puzzle if you have never heard of the song
- whimsy 🤓13:36 · 2021-12-05T21:08:58.091ZDidn't know the song (gasp) but ended up here anyway and had fun while doing so! Thanks, Will!
- Darth 🤓12:27 · 2021-12-05T21:43:49.088ZFun one! Thanks.
- Cindy Heisler 2s · 2021-12-05T23:10:02.736ZNot as easy for me, apparently, since I have never heard of it. Evening after listening, I didn't recognize it. Fun puzzle, though. Thanks, Will!!
- MajordomoTom 🤓11:43 · 2021-12-06T02:57:26.377ZLOLOLOLTook a third look and my saying them out loud ...
- Anita and Steve 3s · 2021-12-06T03:25:30.260ZFun and easy! Really like how you worked in the "O".
- Wendy S HeadinHome 🤓1:49 · 2021-12-06T04:00:59.894Zi actually knew a girl in high school whose family landline was 867-5309 (and we didn't use area codes back then, so that's all you dialed). Her name was Cheryl.
- C64 🤓6:20 · 2021-12-06T07:16:11.329ZI have this 45 record. And I once gave a short quiz in algebra class with the answers 8, 6, 7, -5, 309.
- Louis D 3s · 2021-12-06T18:43:38.738ZTook me longer than expected. However, after coming back to it, I read the numbers in order and instantly got it... I didn't notice that O was one of the "numbers" until after I solved it. Very nice!
- Jimbo 🤓17:32 · 2021-12-06T21:30:02.588ZSo am I the only one who first tried this with including UNO as the missing "1" ?
- David Higgins 🤓8:05 · 2021-12-06T21:35:22.389ZReally enjoyed this puzzle!
- Caroline 👇5:39 · 2021-12-06T22:39:31.972ZThat’s a gimme for those of us over 40. It’s a beauty eh
- Naptown Kid 36s · 2021-12-07T05:45:34.861ZI actually had this album. Tommy Tutone. Lost it with all my vinyl when my basement flooded during a hurricane. It rocked!
- Robert Brylawski 7s · 2021-12-08T01:46:01.066ZThis certainly was the weekend of the "J's"
- TeaJenny 🤓10:33 · 2021-12-08T02:04:31.791ZI love that song! I wonder why...
- Bird Lives 5s · 2021-12-08T04:20:39.363ZI needed Google. Now if it had been the Marvelettes . . .
- Meta World Peace 4s · 2021-12-08T04:17:45.750ZZero CANADA wouldn't be nearly so inspiring an anthem, wink.
- I didn't know the song and didn't realize the solution was just as easy as looking up the sequence of numbers in order (including that sneaky 0...)So, fun fact: If you consider OCANADA as a non-theme entry and then completely ignore the one asymmetric theme entry (SIXPACK) you're left with five numbers (3, 5, 7, 8, 9). If you take the words in those positions from the lyrics of O CANADA (our, and, land, true, patriot) and then UNSCRAMBLE the first letters, you do get a first name... PLATO. But of course that's waaaaay outside the (Pandora's) Box.
