So "We Go On" was a success...

meaning...

we'll do it again.

Of course, we'll use two new songs.

link https://youtube.com/watch?v=3WJ1cf3nrLE - YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND
Dark times, eh? But there's a lot of hope! Let's contrast a fitting grand finale:

link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G-YQA_bsOU - BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
Yes, together we can make this.

Official lyrics for the purpose of the challenge:

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights


You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend

If the sky… above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud now
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door


People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again
Oh baby, don't you know about
Winter, spring, summer, or fall

Hey now, all you've got to do is call, Lord,I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend, yeah
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found


Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down


Sail on, silver girl
Sail on by

Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind


Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Community score: 347/347

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

The rules:

- Quotes must be full, exact words.
- You may change punctuation and capitalization and you can work across lines.
- Each title may be used only once for credit, but titles can overlap or you could even use a subset of a title already used.
- You can use any category or quiz format. You could even make a crossword if you want.
- You can participate via team and co-authored quizzes, but you need to submit a total of SEVEN questions over one or more quizzes to qualify for the badgelet (this is a reduction from 2022 - if two people want to evenly split a 15Q quiz, go ahead!). Or author one crossword, those don't have multi-author options.
- The challenge will be judged like any other title-based challenge, so your title must reasonably fit the quiz. This call is (as always) made by the editor who places your quiz online.

And, because it's all about friendship, there's again a community challenge involved in this but this time it's not about categories - it's about fully completing both songs. Repeated lines or phrases of course need to be covered only once.

Conjunctions, articles and so on are free. "Yeah", however, is not, so it might be a good idea to make a quiz with that title, it could get rid of a few bad spots :)

It's strongly recommended (but not required) that you claim your title before writing just to make sure no one else will use the same title. And please, before you write, check that you're not duplicating something another author is already working on.

The challenge is open until the end of the year - you must make a first submit within 2023. You can of course do more than one title if you wish to help with the community aspect, but there's no tiers on this - you get it for one quiz just the same as for ten.


And the badgelet you can earn looks something like this:

Special thanks to editor looney_tunes who has not only been instrumental in the final push to make "We Go On" a success but also chose this beautiful pair of songs for 2023!

Never mind, Rossian's got it. Can I have 'sail on, silver girl' please?

That's been claimed by 1nn1. Lottie is posting a list of both claimed and published titles. You could perhaps do the first two words or the second two if that would work.

My quiz was already online before you took the other title and Lottie did point it out. She's working hard to keep us informed of what's been claimed. As we're on a new page, there will be an updated version soon.

"Shine" added. Kankurette, if you want to rename to "be so cold" or just "so cold", I would count your entry for the badgelet - rossian's entry caused a bit of confusion because I missed it in scoring. Normally I wouldn't allow a rename to avoid a dupe, but since it was partially my fault, I would let you do it in this case (if your editor agrees).

@pollucci19 - badgelet coming soon. Having a little trouble with the security checks on my admin access right now. (Yes, folks, that stuff is well protected. Not like some Halloween games try to make you believe :) )

It's OK, I've submitted 'Sail On, Silver Girl', so Rossian can keep 'people can be so cold' since she got there first.

As Rossian pointed out at the top of the page, that title has already been claimed by 1nn1.

The best way to find an unclaimed title is to check my post with the lists. And the quickest way to find if what you want is still free is to do Control + F on one of the keywords in your title, then you can see if its in either the claimed or completed lists.

Aaaaargh! In that case, please can I share the 'so cold' line with Rossian? I didn't check the thread because the line wasn't bolded, so I assume it was still OK.

And if I can't take that, please can I have 'when times get rough'? I've checked Lottie's list and it's not in that.

That should be fine - I've added it to my list ready for posting when we get to the new page.

Wes, I've just checked with Leo DaVinci (the editor of the 'people can be so cold' quiz) and they've changed the title to So Cold. Am I OK to take 'so cold' now or should I just stick to 'when things are rough'?

Things are getting a bit tangled here...

"You've got a friend" has been awarded.

Now to Kankurette: Your renamed quiz will score - I said so above. It doesn't add anything to the community challenge, however since it's just a subset of what's already been used and we don't have these words elsewhere.

I also see you have submitted a "Sail on, Silver Girl" which conflicts with a claim by 1nn1. It doesn't look like he already has a template made for it, so I guess you could enter that one as well. (Claims are not binding, it's just good practice to heed them to avoid invalidating someone else's work)

Note: Scoring for the challenge is by who first registers an online quiz in the thread. So it's up to you whether you want to claim it - might want to contact 1nn1 to see what he says. You get the badgelet for "So Cold" anyway, but if he has other ideas or doesn't want to do the claimed title, it will still be community value. (Or you can just hold back, see if he enters his and if not, you can put yours as the active one maybe in November).

If the renamed quiz scores, there's no need for me to claim 'sail on, silver girl'.

Kankurette, do you still want "when times get rough"?

Wes - I think Ilona_Ritter is still waiting for a badge for "You’ve Got a Friend ".

Kankurette - might still want to talk to 1nn1 because if he would rather do a different title, we're better off for the community score than if you just let it die.

Badgelet for Ilona done - got entangled in all that confusion, so only scored it in the intro post but didn't actually badge it. Fixed.
