Hey! loopy Luap, any clues?  I'm stuck!  how many words?  and this sort of filthy connotation shouldn't be allowed on a respectable board like this - try THUMPED, loopy, where this type of stuff would be considered tame even if the idiots over there wouldn't know what an anagram is!!!

Hey! loopy Luap, any clues?!!

it only went up a few hours ago, whitsle, perseverance, man! sleep on it!  thank God we're surrounded by water!

In the meantime this ballroom was in the West.....I.E. All's Under

And this one in the Capitol (Not Cork)....Such Alma.

I think the 'mystery' song is: 'Make Me An Island'... ;)

Hey Liamo...Is yer Dublin one: Macushla? :-/

True for ya.

Make Me An Island - says Trisha
well done Trish, was it the clue?

some clarification may be required, here, folks - there may be conflicting versions of the spelling but the one I'm using is the one I remember from the 70s - it was in the gaeltacht area so there may be a clue in that fact

loopy says: "some clarification may be required, here, folks - there may be conflicting versions of the spelling but the one I'm using is the one I remember from the 70s - it was in the gaeltacht area so there may be a clue in that fact"
make up yer mind loopy.  

for those who want a proper anagram, with no questionable spellings, try this: Irish hit single from the 60s:

LET THE LEAVING PROPEL (3-10-5)

there is a vague hint in the anagram itself, lets see if this one goes the distance!

LEISURELAND, Liamo????

it could be Simon Says but there's an "s" missing;

AND! was that song not called "Simple Simon Says"?  but maybe i'm on the wrong track altogether

Post no's 13 and 28 haven't been solved yet

You're right. I had it scribbled as "Yas not Ya and typed it wrongly :-[

PICN TAKI= what?

Re: Reply 13 & 27 (luap)...I know what the answer is but I'm waiting to see if there is a 'conflict' of spelling.. I spell it both ways! ;)

Hey! Whistle...Your anagram didn't go the distance after all! Not with 'The Travelling People' anyway... ;D

Luap... Is your one in the West....Poitin Stil???

Liamo...(Reply 44...this is getting a bit O.T.T. now) The answer of your second song could be:
'Walking The Streets In The Rain'  :-/

That one's correct.

Hello again...The answer to reply 42 is: 'Love Thee Dearest'...Ok? ;)

Correct again.
