1. In seventh grade, she used to run after Billy and the rain. She never was a cornflake girl, but she thought being a raisin girl was a good solution.

Question 2 of 15
2. She says she has 21 things she wants in a lover, but that you owe her nothing in return. She has thanked India, among other things, and she is most definitely not the doctor. Isn't that ironic? Who is Melody talking about? Hint

3. Along with Nine Stories, she implores you to stay, because she missed you. This girl wants cake and pie, can be a bit of a firecracker at times, and just doesn't want to see it the way it really is. Who is Melody talking about? Hint


Question 4 of 15
4. A New Zealander born and bred, this young lady has good in her head, to help her on her way. Although everything's the same, she is very close to her mother, and thinks that she may be falling in love again. She will, however, need some thinking room. Who is Melody talking about? Hint


Question 5 of 15
5. Oh dear! This young lady appears to be slightly comatised! She really doesn't want to suffer the cataract of your charm attack, but she has a terrible habit.

Question 6 of 15
6. You might find this girl in the spirit room, or alternatively looking through a hotel paper. She's everywhere, it seems, and you give her something to sleep to! Sweet misery, as she's known to her friends, would rather be in love than say goodbye to you, so might be all you wanted! Who is Melody talking about? Hint


Question 7 of 15
7. She blames you for the moonlit sky, and the dreams that died, with the eagle's flight, but don't let that put you off!

Question 8 of 15
8. Oh no! I looks like a stolen car has ploughed into the central reservation! Not to worry. This girl wasn't in her trailer park. According to this young singer, you have to feel to believe, but then there is so much more than a pass in time. Who is Melody talking about? Hint


Question 9 of 15
9. This young lady wants to know; 'Could I be your girl?' Ever hopeful, she is living under June, but has a good mother, and you might be all she ever wanted. She doesn't want you to be insensitive, though, as that may make her feel unloved. Who is Melody talking about? Hint


Question 10 of 15
10. Drive with this girl, but look out for a beautiful collision! Another New Zealander, all this girl wants to do is get some sleep and count the days, but you can come around for tea on election night if you like.

Question 14 of 15
14. This luscious blonde Norwegian may complain that you weren't there, but at least you aren't another unforgivable sinner. Sitting down here, you'll find that playing her game may end up in a place nearby. Who is Melody talking about? Hint

15. Someday soon, this dear, frustrated superstar will jump and you can be hers. Watch out Billie, because if I know you, you'll be all over this offer in a shot.
