They loved science in the eighties

And I'm calling it for Je Reve! Congrats, Je Reve, you will be rewarded richly in the life hereafter for so brilliantly completing the quiz. You got all but one right. #1, science is involved, but it's not Weird Science. Here are the answers:

1. She's Blinded Me with Science, Thomas Dolby

2. One Night in Bangkok, Murray Head (Chess soundtrack)

3. Honeycomb, Jimmie Rogers

4. Loves Me like a Rock, Paul Simon

5. Low, T-Pain

6. Grandma's Feather Bed, John Denver

7. Hey Baby, No Doubt

8. Bette Davis Eyes, Kim Carnes

9. Don't Leave Nobody but the Baby, Emmylou Harris (Oh Brother Where Art Thou)

10. Never Loved a Man, the Queen of Soul (aka Aretha Franklin

I was surprised more people don't know Honeycomb. That's a great old song. And I thought Bette Davis Eyes would be easy so I only gave a short clue. Paul Simon's album Negotiations and Love Songs is one of my top ten albums of all time. It's true. I crush on Paul Simon. And Aretha Franklin has been one of my nearest and dearest musical companions for 25 years. If any of you gave me a quiz of contemporary music I would FAIL big time. I'm kind of a fogie. In the eighties I mostly listened to classic rock. I had to catch up.

So I'm as large now at 22 weeks pregnant as I was at 36 weeks with one baby. People tell me I "carry it well" so you might not notice. But if I've just eaten or have a full bladder, I walk with that tell-tale stretch, that arch in my back trying to give my body more room. Many of you know how that is. I took my last airplane flight last week and now I'm hunkered down for at least six months. Begin Full Gestation Mode.
