    OK, there's this famous song, I think it's by Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin, and it goes like this:

    Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh,
    You don't have to go,
    oh oh oh oh oh

    I can sing it, I could probably bang out the drum portion, but I don't know the title of the damn song! Can anyone help me out?

    I believe you are talking about, D'yer Mak'er - Led Zeppelin.

    I hope, it helps you.

    You don't have to be embarrassed, it's a very cool song. If you'd been asking which song goes "Give me a siiiiiiiiiiign", on the other hand... :p

    The embarrassment stems from neing someone who prides himself on bein g pretty good with music from that era, so much so that friends call me up and ask me about lyrics, and friends ALSO ask me not to sing snippets of songs, and yet I didn't know the title of one of rock's most popular songs.

    An embarrassing question for me was when the police officer asked if we could find a more private place. It wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't that she was trying to cover up with my sweater and I couldn't find anything at all. I guess I was partially covered, but a little tube of latex really doesn't cover much (and it was transparent).

    Oh ... oops ... I though you wanted embarrassing questions. My bad.

    For a while I was big into rock trivia (it happened when I figured out that the rhythm to Rush's YYZ was actually the morse code for the letters Y, Y and Z -- I was so impressed with myself :p).

    Another neat piece of trivia. I just looked up the morse code, tapped out YYZ, and voila! - YYZ

    You da man, dmc!

    And to tie it all together, YYZ is the identifier for the Toronto Airport, which I knew (again, thanks to dmc a few years ago). What I didn't know was this:

    For some reason the whole YYZ thing reminds me of the old, old Adventure. What was the magic word there? XYYZ or something like it?

    Just checked it, it's XYZZY. Not quite the same.
