There was a red baron type car-plane and some army guys wearing helmets over their eyes in a tank wasn't there? and a bunch of hillbillies in an old beat up wooden thing where the guy drove with his feet?

what were your top 5?

There was a No 1 hit in the 1970s which did not have the song title in the lyrics. However, in the lyrics it did have the song title of the next song that directly superseded it at No 1.

What were the 2 songs?

Was one of them an instrumental?

No

Bohemian Rhapsody - is that the first one?

It is.

OK, so there's some line in there referring to another song title?

There's another line that is another song title - and it's the song that was the very next No 1.

BH also contains the title of a third No 1 about a year later.

Mama Mia?

Yep!


The third one was Figaro (Brotherhood of Man)

What are the names of the world's largest cruise ships?

Actually there are 2 of them with almost the same specifications... what are their names?
Extra points for near estimate of length & beam (width at widest point).

They were launched quite recently weren't they - last 3 or 4 years? There was a bit of a hoopla in the news about the first one. I'll never remember the names though - something fancy - either a one-word long name, 12 or 13 letters, or 'Spirit of the Ocean', something like that

Yes, one in 2009 and the other in 2011.
They both have a 4-word name as you suggest... with "of the" the middle 2 words.

Pearl of the Pacific?
Roy of the Rovers?

No. Need another hint?

Something of the Waves?
Something of the Seas?

If not, then yes, another clue please

both "of the Seas". So just the first word of each now.

One of them is hard to resist and the other is more often associated with deserts.

Lady of the Seas?

No... but you might describe a Lady as being full of _ _ _ _ _ _

Don't think I'll get the names tbh.

Allure of the Seas

and

midnight at the" _ _ _ _ _"... send the camels to bed.... of the Seas

Oasis of the Seas!

Yes!

Gee... that took a while.

Here's one for comic book fans
