Answer: The sky

"Purple Haze" was released as a single by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967 from the debut album "Are You Experienced?". It peaked at number three on the "UK Official Singles" chart, but only managed position sixty-five on the "US Billboard Hot 100" chart. The song placed at number two on the "Rolling Stone" magazine's "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time" and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

"Purple Haze all in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky."
2. "The Clapping Song" was recorded by Shirley Ellis in 1965. What would her mother not buy her, because she kissed a soldier?

Answer: Rubber dolly

"The Clapping Song" was written by Lincoln Chase, adapted from the song recorded by the Light Crust Doughboys in the 1930s, called "Little Rubber Dolly". Recorded by Shirley Ellis in 1965, it fared extremely well on the US and UK charts, achieving sixth place in the UK and eighth in the US.

"My Mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My Auntie told her
I'd kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly"

John Denver recorded "Leaving on a Jet Plane" for his 1966 album "John Denver Sings", but the better known version of this song was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary a year later for their album "Album 1700".

"Then He Kissed Me" was written by iconic music producer Phil Spector, together with Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry and recorded in 1963 by The Crystals. Their song reached second place on the UK charts and sixth place on the US charts. The Beach Boys reworked the lyrics to "Then I Kissed Her" and recorded the song for their 1967 album "Summer Days (And Summer Nights)". They only managed a fourth place on the UK charts and a second place on the South African and Swedish charts.
5. What is the name of the American band that in 1997 wanted to be kissed out of the bearded barley, beneath the milky twilight and down by the broken tree house?

Answer: Sixpence None The Richer

Sixpence None The Richer is an American alternative rock band formed in Texas in 1992. The took their name from a book called "Mere Christianity" authored by C.S. Lewis according to vocalist Leigh Nash. Between 1994 and 2012 the band recorded six studio albums. "Kiss Me" was recorded in 1997 for their eponymous album and managed a second place on the US Billboard chart and a fourth on the UK singles chart.

The song did manage to reach top position in Canada and Australia.

Answer: Stare

"Kiss Off" was recorded by the band Violent Femmes for their eponymous debut album in 1983. Interestingly, the album only charted on the US Billboard chart in 1991, a staggering eight years after it was released. Prior to charting, the album was certified gold and four years later platinum.

"Well, you can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back, I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, they do it all the time (yeah, yeah!)
They do it all the time (do it all the time!)
They do it all the time (do it all the time!)
They do it all the time, do it all the time"
7. What is the name of the 1957 Buddy Holly classic containing the following lyrics, "All of my love, all of my kissin', You don't know what you've been missin'"?

Answer: Oh, Boy!

Buddy Holly and the Crickets recorded "Oh, Boy!" in 1957 for the album "The 'Chirping' Crickets". Holly's version is a cover of the 1950s Sonny West song, but did far better for Holly, achieving a tenth place on the US chart and a third place on the UK chart. This song has been covered by a variety of artist, including The Everly Brothers, The Grateful Dead, The Stray Cats and Connie Francis.

"All of my love, all of my kissin'
You don't know what you've been missin', oh boy! (Oh boy!)
When you're with me, oh boy! (Oh boy!)
The world can see that you were meant for me"
8. Aerosmith recorded "Love in An Elevator" in 1989. In the last verse Steven Tyler sings "I'll chase you all the way to the stairway honey, Kiss your sassafras". What exactly is sassafras?

Answer: A deciduous tree

Aerosmith recorded "Love in an Elevator" in 1989 for their album "Pump". It reached top position on the US Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and fifth place on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1990, the song was nominated for a Grammy award in 1990 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Unfortunately for them, they lost to the Travelling Wilburys. Aerosmith did manage to win it the following year, however for the song "Janie's Got a Gun".

Sassafras is a deciduous tree native to North America and Asia. It is a very versatile tree, used for culinary, medicinal, oil and aromatic purposes. I'm certain though, that the girl Tyler was chasing down the stairway was not carrying a tree.
9. "Wishing Well", the 1987 song by Terence Trent D'Arby, starts with the lyrics "Kissing like a bandit stealing ____ underneath a sycamore tree". What was being stolen?

Answer: Time

"Wishing Well" was recorded in 1987 by Terence Trent D'Arby for the album with the very long name "Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby". It was a number one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. It also went to number one in the Netherlands and managed a top ten chart placing in five other countries.

"Kissing like a bandit stealing time underneath a sycamore tree.
Cupid by the hour sends Valentines to my sweet lover and me.
Slowly, but surely your appetite is more than I knew.
Sweetly, softly I'm falling in love with you."
10. According to the song "Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)", covered by Cher in 1990, what will she be able to tell in 'his kiss'?

Answer: If he loves her so

"Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)" was first released in 1963 by Merry Clayton and then covered the following year by Betty Everett for a number one chart position on the Cashbox magazine R&B chart. The song was covered by a number of artists through the years, one of the more popular versions being that of Cher in 1990. This version went to number one in a number of countries, including the UK, Austria, Israel, Ireland, Norway and Zimbabwe. It featured on the soundtrack for her 1990 film "Mermaids", also starring Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci as well as being released on the Cher album "Love Hurts".

"Does he love me I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no! You'll be deceived
Is it in his sighs?
Oh no! He'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is"
