Geocache Description:


Congratulations to IHFF for FTF, anna_lisa for STF, and BoldIrony and Poet for TTF!! Rock on Kids!!
This puzzle is meant to be pure fun…at least if you were born in the late 60s early 70s and like, what would now be considered, Classic Rock. We all have a list of songs that we love to sing along to any time we hear them. Of course, these songs are usually songs that we would NEVER admit to actually liking!! Well, I am not afraid to share my list with all of you but, you will have to figure out what songs are actually on the list!! I was born in 1973 so most of these songs are from my pre-teen/teen-age years…just to give you a starting point. Use the clues to figure out the tune, answer the questions, figure out the coords, and go find the cache.

**When you log your find, please share your favorite “guilty pleasure” song!!

Cache is located at:

Cache is stocked with some fun prizes for FTF, STF, and TTF. Happy Caching!!

1. Number of words in the title of this song: (A)

Standing in the sunlight laughing/Hiding behind a rainbowed wall,/Slippin’ and a slidin’/All along the waterfall


2. Name of the band that sings this song: (B= first number)

I never knew there’d come a day/When I’d be saying to you/Don’t let this good love slip away/Now that we know that it’s true/Don’t, don’t you know the kind of man I am/ No, said I’d never fall in love again/But it’s real and the feeling comes shining through


3. The number of words in the 1st line of the chorus of this song? (C)

If you wake up and don’t want to smile/If it takes just a little while/Open your eyes and look at the day/You’ll see things in a different way


4. Official release date of this song: (D= second digit of day of month)

Where it began/I can’t begin to know when/But then I know it’s growing strong/Was in the spring/And spring became the summer/Who’d have believed you’d come along


5. The year this song was released? (E= third digit)

A singer in a smoky room/A smell of wine and cheap perfume/For a smile they can share the night/It goes on and on and on and on


6. What year is in the song title? (F= first digit)

Me and some guys from school/Had a band and we tried real hard/Jimmy quit and Jody got married/I should’ve known we’d never get far


7. Number of words in this rock band group name? (G)

A girl in love with a gleam in her eye/I was a younger boy, all dressed in white/We’re older now, I bet you still think about me


8. This single was released late in what year? (H= third digit)

She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got/It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not/We’ve got each other and that’s a lot/For love…we’ll give it a shot


9. This song reached #8 on the Billboard Top 100 in what year? (I= fourth digit of year)

Well I heard mister Young sing about her/Well I heard ole Neil put her down/Well I hope Neil Young will remember/A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow

And I meant, every word I said/When I said that I loved you I meant/That I love you forever


11. The year this single was released? (K=third number in the year)

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone/Turned on some music to start my day/I lost myself in a familiar song/I closed my eyes and I slipped away


12. Number of letters in the first name of the artist of this song? (L)

You said, Oh girl it’s a cold world/when you keep it all to yourself/I said you can’t hide on the inside/all the pain you’ve ever felt


13. Number of words in this song title? (M)

Oh well, you might think I’m delirious/The way I run you down/But somewhere sometimes when you’re curious/I’ll be back around


14. Number of words in the title of this song? (N)

Another shooting star goes by/And in the night the silence speaks to you and I/And now the time has come at last/Don’t let the moment run too fast

This area is crawling with muggles at certain times of the day. Please use your extra special geo-stealth skills when retrieving the cache and rehide with care. Coords were a bit jumpy, thus the hint. Rock on!!
