I CAN SING A RAINBOW
THE HEAT IS ON
It’s a very HOT HOT HOT Thursday here in Crete with temperatures expected to break through the 40 Degrees C barrier later today. So while it’s getting hot in here and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be raining men any time soon, here is a 10 question song quiz where every song has a colour in its title for all you footloose and fancy free quizzers. Whether you are going to San Francisco or don’t know the way to Amarillo, hopefully you will find it enjoyable, if not I apologise, but that’s entertainment for you. Well I’m off under the boardwalk to find a shady place, or perhaps try and get some cool wind of change while sittin’ on the dock of the bay and remember to tell your friends about this quiz site and let them hear it on the grapevine...Sorry about the song related puns!
