    This  quiz was originally posted by Lover a long time ago.
    I thought perhaps it may be interesting to try to breathe life back into it as I like the idea.
    I hope you all do too.
    I'll let Lover explain the rules…

    As I wrote to sinnnn's new game idea & to the masked ball, I got a new idea. What about a little quizz?
    The rules:
    – I start this quizz, giving a short quote of a film or a song.
    – The firts who gives the right answer is allowed to start the new round
    – If there are some wrong or none answers we give a tipp

    Example:
    “A band is blowing Dixie double four time, you feel alright when you hear that music ring.”

    The asnwer is “Sultans of Swing” Dire Straits.

    So…there you have it. When an answer gets the thumbs up from the previous poster, it's their turn to set the question.
    I'll kick things off with this….

    Which 1978 film based on a stage play with the same title are the following lyrics from?

    It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
    My world and it's not a place I have to hide in

    I watch a few films, but this has baffled me.

    Since no one has posted here I kind of cheated and used Bing to have a looksie.

    Is it Heaven Can Wait ?

    It's La Cage Aux Folles (The Cage Of Madwomen), adapted from Jean Poiret's 1973 stage play.
    There was an American remake in 1996 called “The Birdcage” starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, with the setting transferred from Saint Tropez to Miami.

    The film tells the story of a gay couple – Renato Baldi, the manager of a Saint-Tropez nightclub featuring drag entertainment, and Albin Mougeotte, his star attraction – and the madness that ensues when Renato's son, Laurent, brings home his fiancée, Andrea, and her ultra-conservative parents  to meet them.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 95% rating. The site's consensus reads: “La Cage Aux Folles” is a fine French-Italian farce with flamboyant, charming characters and deep laughs”.
    Roger Ebert gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote that “the comic turns in the plot are achieved with such clockwork timing that sometimes we're laughing at what's funny and sometimes we're just laughing at the movie's sheer comic invention”.

    I would recommend giving it a look see. In whichever version, it's great viewing.

    The song is “I Am What I Am”.  There are probably more different versions of this song than there are people reading this post, so I'm going to choose one by a lady…no, a Dame, that can possibly be credited with bringing the song to a wider world.

    Dame Shirley Bassey performing live at the Electric Proms in 2009 at the age of seventy-two.

    Hmmmm you sure about this ?  I do watch some different films, shall we say.  But I do remember the Bird Cage.

    Ok then, if you insist.  Hmmmmmmm  *thinking*

    Film.  Hong Kong released in 2004.  The director also was in the lead role.

    Quote :

    “SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    “WOW, The fat lady really can sing”

    This is a stab in the dark…is it Kung Fu Hustle  —  Stephen Chow?
    I arrived at that after an internet search, or two, left me with a possible 5 movies.I chose this one based on synopses of the movies. Couldn't find the quote.

    Your turn again.  Oh Do I have to write down a quote ?  Because some of the films I haven't seen in ages and can't remember any, or might get them wrong.  :

    Hiya hun
    Lover's original post stated a quote from a song or movie…but I think we can forgive you as it could be considered a new topic.
    (Next time, though….CBT for a week )

    Going to keep this one fairly simple (I hope).
    Just some lines from a song written about the 1927 Mississippi River flood.
    The original was written in 1929, but the most famous reworking of the song was made in 1971.
    My favourite version is by a 4 piece female Zeppelin tribute band and was recorded in 2013. I have made reference to them at least once in this forum, may even have referenced the very same track.

    Don't it make you feel bad
    When you're tryin' to find your way home
    You don't know which way to go?

    If you're goin' down South
    They got no work to do
    If you're going down to Chicago

    If it's Zeppelin related then it must be
    When the Levee Breaks

    Ok so where did you hear this before ?

    'Cause there's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music
    To change a young lady's mind
    And there's nothing like a walk on down by the bayou
    To leave the world behind
