I See Something Game #51

[YesterdayOnceMore]

I see something incorrect.....

[Rick Henry]

Oooooh this has the potential to be a tough one... but I'm going to take a stab at it...

Could it be "Road One"? There have been some compilations which hav incorrectly listed "Road Ode" as "Road One"... I believe these were Asian released compilations maybe from Hong Kong or Japan compilations.

[beaner]

I have a guess also but I'll wait to see what Tim has to say about Rick's answer. Good one, Rick!

SUPER guess Rick, but no - not the right answer. I'm gonna let Beaner do her guessing, then will come back with another clue to get you closer.

[beaner]

Just wondering about the song "Man Smart, Woman Smarter", especially when Richard sings "Wrong" in the background - which of course would mean "incorrect".

[Rick Henry]

Could it be the incorrect lyric of "ocean's king" for the song "Maybe It's You" which was erroneously printed in the Japanese compilation "Treasures"...

Or quite possibly the incorrect lyric of "mountain birth" for the song "Another Song" which was erroneously printed in a Carpenters music book...

[YesterdayOnceMore]

So sorry - I posted something yesterday, but apparently I didn't get it done correctly. My bad....sorry to make you wait for another clue.

And...good guesses everyone, but no - not the incorrect-ness I'm looking for.

The next clue is: 1975

[beaner]

In 1975, when Horizon came out, Karen changes the lyric in part of the song, "I'm Caught Between Goodbye and I Love You". At least I remember seeing that many years ago and have always continued to sing it like she does.

I believe on the original album lyrics, it reads "give me a reason why I SHOULD stay here" but Karen sings "give me a reason why SHOULD I stay here". The sentence is in the form of a statement but Karen turns it into a question by asking "why should I stay here". The way Karen sings it, it should be two sentences. Give me a reason. Why should I stay here? Rather than, Give me a reason why I should stay here.

If this isn't it, Tim, do I get extra credit for coming up with this one?

Beaner

[YesterdayOnceMore]

BEANER, great, but incorrect guess! Yes, I definitely think you should have extra points for this guess.

Geez, I didn't realize there were that many mistakes that had been made.

Here are the clues so far:
I see something: Incorrect, 1975

Any other ideas? Come on....I've eliminated a LOT of things by that second clue.

Good luck!

[Rick Henry]

I'm wracking my brain on this... you'd think I'd know as 1975 is my favorite year for Carpenters music.

I will pull out my "Horizon" album and the three singles "Please Mr. Postman", "Only Yesterday" and "Solitaire" and study them.

[YesterdayOnceMore]

Looks like it's time for another clue:

Here are all the clues

incorrect
1975
nine

GOOD LUCK

[YesterdayOnceMore]

OH! Come on folks.......we can get to the bottom of this, I just know it!

[wisejester7]

This is a really tough one. The guesses so far have been great and still I have no idea where we are headed. Way to go!, 'cause thinking caps are definitely required!

[YesterdayOnceMore]

Here is another clue, just in statement form.

I may be the only one to readily recognize that this is incorrect, and/or know it IS, indeed, incorrect. Hmmmm......I wonder if that is helpful?

I'll tell you what, though - I sure have learned a lot in this thread already! I always do learn from you all!

[YesterdayOnceMore]

Another week...........no guesses..............another clue!

(If you all are just tired of playing this game, just let me know, and I'll simply provide the answer) but in case you do want to keep going:

Clues so far:

I see something Incorrect - 1975 - nine - perhaps I am the only one who knows this is incorrect?

And your new clue: avatar

Happy guessing! Tim

[timo]

Hi!
I'm a complete rookie with you pro's, but Love me for what I am, quotation included in your avatar, is track nine on the 1975 album Horizon - I still don't know what's Incorrect then...!!!
timo

[beaner]

I think you might just be on to something Timo! Love Me For What I Am is one of Palma's songs and knowing Tim's close friendship with her, he may know something we don't or are not readily picking up on. It certainly wouldn't surprise me.

And Tim, I know what you mean about wondering whether to continue the game or not. The last time anyone tried to make a guess on my Hangman game was September 8th. I've sort of given up on it unless it comes back to life again.

Can't wait to see this outcome though!

Timo, you have correctly identified a piece of this puzzle. And Beaner, you're partially correct, too.

But.....you're not quite there, yet. Yes, it has to do with something incorrect regarding the 1975 song on the HORIZON album that is track number 9, and those lyrics are quoted in my avatar. Whew! Finally we're getting there.....I think if you try, you'll be able to figure out what is wrong. I have verified that yes, it IS wrong.....incorrect, if you will.

Good guesses, you two.
