The first single released by Black Sabbath was "Evil Woman/Wicked World". "Evil Woman" though is a cover tune. Who did the original?

What do the songs `Killer` by Adamski, `Paranoid Android` by Radiohead and `True Faith` by New Order have in common?
Also just a wee teaser
How many times are the words `Hey Jude` mentioned in the Beatles song of the same name? 14, 24 or 34?

I counted 27 with a 'maybe' 28th, so I'll say 34, Scotty. :roll:

Plus 13 "it" or "it's", 11 "better", 6 "don't" and 20 "you", "your" or "you're"..... wanna try for the "na"'s??????? :mrgreen:

Interesting, Scotty. I sat there and listened to it three times and recorded each "Hey Jude" with a stroke of the pen. There are only 7 in the main part of the song and plenty in the outro. I included one or two (maybe three) that weren't sung by Paul - perhaps that's where the difference lies.

So for the moment I am in dispute with you!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :wink: :wink:

Hey Jude - I got 8 in the main song up to and including the 'wobbly' one, then 19 in the outro (including a couple 'Hey Jude's thrown in by Paul, but not including the Jude, Jude, Jude, bits). And like H, I ticked with a pen as I listened. So my answer is 27.

Spot on, Pete! Checked it again and came in with 27. You're right about the main song..... there's one 'non-Paul' one, making it eight.

I don't like ovations. I don't understand why people think they're the cat's knees, the bee's naughty bits, whatever metaphor.

By the way, I couldn't understand a word in the video, but the song is Love Cats by the Cure.
