Cumulative Geography quiz #4!!!

[allan]

Why not post one of those questions, since no one else is asking one (who's up, anyway?).

 

[JBearIt]

I guess this topic has languished because everyone's been playing Civ III. Here's a new question:

Name the location associated with each of these song lyrics (the first one is really easy):

1) "Well East Coast girls are hip"

2) "All those downtown ladies call him 'Treetop Lover'"

3) "We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind"

The first one's from California Girls if that's not too general a place, and the last one's from The Battle of New Orleans, but I don't know the second. If anyone can come up with that one then they are welcome to ask the next question.

 

[JBearIt]

Duke, you are right on numbers 1 & 3. As for number 2, it's kind of tricky. The title of song #2 does not have a place name in it, rather it is named after a character. However the song is set in a certain famous city.

 

[Magnus]

Leroy Brown was from Chicago.

 

[duke o' york]

Ask away then Magnus.

 

[JBearIt]

Sorry for the delay in getting back on the board. Magnus was right, song #2 is Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and the city is Chicago.

Someone ask a question.
I see the distinguished Duke is on-line, must be "working" today.

Where can you submerge a mile and still be in fresh water?

The Black Sea. I think the top part is salt water whilst the bottom is fresh water.
Failing that, maybe Lake Baikal in Siberia.

 

[Magnus]

Lake Baykal is the answer. On to you, SKM, errrr Knight-Dragon

Since there hasn't been any questions in long time, I'll ask the next question:

What colour(s) are in the flag of Seychelles?

And remember, DON'T look it up! There's not any sense on quiz's if you
just watch the answer from geography book or Google...

 

[Dexter]

Damn! Is it red, white and green? I used to spend ages looking through this flag book when i was younger, the books a bit out-dated though and this is one country I ain't gonna remember properly...

 

[Dell19]

I'll go with Red, white and blue.

 

[Juize]

Both answers wrong. TIP : It has lots of colours, yet a rather simple design...

 

[Dell19]

Lots of colours?

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet?

 

[Juize]

Ok, dell, I'll give you another tip : It has the colours of the flags of
Italy and a one country from the Balkans...

 

[Dell19]

Red, white, green and blue?

 

[duke o' york]

Isn't it sort of like a rainbow thing? Can't remember the colours though.

 

[Dexter]

Red, white, green and black? A complete guess to save this topic from dropping a page
