Jenney - Howdy ! I just scanned your submissions, and I gotta say WOW ! - You deserve it on these 4 back to back. OK, for the record:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q304 Lying warm .... = ? Never Too Close - CORRECT !
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q305 .... rainbow ride = ? She's Not the Same - CORRECT # 2 ! Ambig
- interesting to note that that Lightfoot uses this rather unique and colorful phrase twice 'rainbow ride' (as far as I know, may be another somewhere),
as you got a perfectly working ambig from my intended song, where I was suprised to find it as well, cause I knew I'd heard it in another song too, just couldn't remember - but you got it, and I'd hazard a guess the one you picked, most people would intuitively pick first. I would not have guessed to hear it in 'Wild Strawberries' ! - Polka Dot and all ....lol..

Nicely done. I'll go ahead and paste your next two into here if its OK by you.

You might say he's a rural sprout
Boss Man
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q297 .... might say .... = ? 'Boss Man' CORRECT #3 AMBIG AGAIN !
Intended song was 'I'm Not Sayin That I Love You
Ambig submitted 'Boss Man' both contain the phrase 'might say' and once again I'd say you picked the more intuitive one as I hear them in my head...you know what I mean.... well done .

and finally, in a tour de force display of etymological excellence:

Q303 The beauty ....
Before you came to call,
The beauty of it all I thought I'd lost and yet
Anything For Love
Q303 The beauty .... = ? 'Anything For Love' - #4 CORRECT ! WOW !
The intended song, too by the way, not that it matters. What I mean is that a valid ambig is equally a win as matching the intended song.The only ambig here that surprised me was (my) finding 'rainbow' ride in 'Wild Strawberries',
for the intended song. Just that it existed twice, as such a....unique phrase !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK once again I gotta think of what does a trifecta for three wins get called when there are four wins ? - I'll go with the braintrust thinktank portrayed on SNL when the group that debated ''DA bears' - and they used the terms, common as I recall any way....sorta.. repeat (2), threepeat (3), fourpeat (4)!

FOURPEAT it is for Jenney ! The crowd goes wild !

I'll post 'em in the X-FILES............
