I am recusing myself from #20 because I do not recall the youtube video that you posted, but if it refers to the song by the Norwegian 8 year old(quite good by the way), then it has to do with the fact that she sang the Billie Holiday version as if she was channeling Lady Day. My understanding is that the young girl used to listen to it every night before she went to sleep. The song itself is somewhat legendary in that it is referred to as the Hungarian Suicide Song because of so many suicides attached to it. The jury is still out as to whether there was an actual correlation. Gloomy Sunday is also a very good foreign movie based on the song.

Actually, if I recall correctly, he posted a video of a Dutch girl singing "O mio babbino caro," an aria by Puccini.

no

16..First start with the more common way of expressing the temperature.

23..a Sidney Lumet 1988, well received flic, starring a guy who once hung out with Bobby, Elaine and Jim.

14..I am getting the impression that rbny watches a lot of movies. He's correct about the little lady being Joanne Woodward.

15..Rbny again with the very Modest Mussorgsky.

16..You make me do it. Three Degrees with "When Will ICU Again".

17..Sleep & geordi with oxygen.

18..VAUC & sleep with "Backstabbers" by the O'Jays.

19..VAUC with the distinction that wage assignment is voluntary, requiring a judge to turn it mandatory (garnishment)

21..Geordi, who has cavorted with many a ragazza, knows about the ones.

2o..Rbny is most accurate; Nine year old Amira belts an aria out of the park.

22..Zorro, geordi & sleep pick wisely--A Study in Scarlet.

23..Meyers likes Jackson Brown as a singer, but dislikes him as a tennis player.
The flic starred Judd Hirsh. It's an excellent film. Sorry you missed it.

24..Zorro has the far right John Birch Society.

25..Polyandry is it. Credit to Sleep, VAUC & zorro.
