2..Cotton is mentioned...and fish too.

3..A color used for part of a boat, late in the day.

4.."The chestnut tree, the wishing well"

5..First came the village green; later a limo.

6..What Rex sings when he realizes she's under his skin.

7..Who you imagine on a train going by.

8..A Sinatra hit and a 70's band.

9.."Birds singing in the sycamore tree."

10..The Mills Bros. wanted this(?) to call their own.

11..She finally died in January. One of the preceding words needs a synonym(?).

12.."_________ _______ ___; it goes with your hair.
You certainly know the right things to wear."

13..A comic card sent for a particular calendar day.

And 12 more melodies to sing yet.

If they ever bring back Name That Tune, you would blow them all away. Elzorrogris is not bad either. Of course, you cannot get up there and pull a Ralph Kramden.

Hum-a, Hum-a Did you know Jackie Gleason wrote the theme song for the Honeymooners, "You're My Greatest Love" and the inscription on his tombstone, "And away we go", of course.

Like VAUC says, zorro & Best deserve a shout-out for impressive accurate volume.

The only one you missed was the " band", CHICAGO. my kind of town, sang Frank.

And a word about #7, while you can picture Roger Miller or Johnny Cash...or King Forouk,
for that matter, only Laura, named by zorro, is a song title.

 

[pinotbear]

King Forouk, on a train? Bet it's a nice train.

 

[VAUConnFan]

And why does it not surprise me that you know this?

Might you be referring to this?

Doh! I meant to say Roger Miller's hit, "King of the Road." ...Third boxcar, midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine... I know every engineer on every train.
