The game's question
Hum the start very softly, and see whether the missing word slips in.
1973. A song with a very long title, on the radio over the washing-up and in the car on the way to the shops. Tony Orlando and Dawn sang it, and it was the best-selling record of the year. Its title ends with a tree: ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole … Tree’. Which tree? Fill in the missing word together.
To fill in: a tree, three letters.
Need a hint?
A tree that drops acorns in autumn, short and strong. Say the whole title slowly, and see if the word fits.
See the answer
Answer: Oak – ‘Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree’, the record of 1973.
Why this game : A long title finished between you, word by word – and a tune to hum for the rest of the day.
