David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Promising return which finds Joel in rockier mood with a very wordy song cramming in references to virtually every major figure and event in the twentieth century. After all that, the message of the lyrics is foggy and confused, but this should certainly see him back in the charts."[8]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Valentina Tereshkova was the first astronaut/cosmonaut/woman in space. She's not in the song, of course, but let's get things right where we can. Thorvald +3 Level 67 Sep 23, 2017 I do absolutely agree with onegonecat and Trix - QM, please change the clue bks961 +1 Level 76 Aug 14, 2017 Thanks for the ohrwurm, QM. ...Belgians in the Congo... :) clivey +1 Level 67 Aug 24, 2017 Took me about 2 months to learn this song ahead of performing it a couple of years ago. Even after that, I'd get up to Lawrence of Arabia, British Beatlemania, and then have to make the majority up, with the odd one coming into my mind. But at least all that stuck 2 years later for this quiz! ecuachick +1 Level 56 Jul 28, 2018 "British Beatle" not accepted for "British Beatlemania"? Since mania was given in the clue, I didn't think to retype it. :( IsleAuHaulte +1 Level 88 Aug 8, 2018 This needs blank lines with no clues a la The Star Spangled Banner quiz. IsleAuHaulte +1 Level 88 Aug 8, 2018 94.9%, just can't get my extra point with 95, whatever points do. Algernon +1 Level 72 Aug 26, 2018 Great quiz. Bloody annoying doing it on an ipad when you have to scroll down every single bleeping time. CS +1 Level 66 Jan 10, 2021 Accept "Eastern Bloc" for "Communist Bloc"? SmartAssGary +2 Level 67 Jan 13, 2021 But that's not in the lyrics though. Wrong number of syllables CS +2 Level 66 Jan 14, 2021 However, this quiz is meant for you to be able to take it if you don't know the lyrics, as implied in the description "GUESS all the historical events." Moreover, just "China" is accepted for "Red China" despite not actually being in the lyrics, so there is no reason to not accept "Eastern Bloc" for "Communist Bloc" which is the more common term.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I'd like to be the first to comment upon the quality of the poetry in some of these lyrics.</div><div></div><div>When I was young I listened to Joans' albums thousands of times.As a matter of fact, when we were sweet sixteen (and Joni was 17) we all sang in the same coffee house at the Y in Toronto! I remember being electrified by "Sang the Corow on the Cradle"!</div><div></div><div>Some of this poetry is wonderful. The music is beyond superlatives, and this site is very well put together. Thanks for publishing the lyrics, I was too busy dancing,working, or minding my kid to learn them all, or to see the sound studies behind the scores. Way, Joan!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
