So "We Go On" was a success...
meaning...
we'll do it again.
Of course, we'll use two new songs.
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:
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!

235+19=254. And several prestige counts have gone up as well. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is starting to look pretty good - only 20 missing. "You've got a Friend" is lagging behind a bit here, but I suppose it's the more difficult one. Reply #262. Oct 08 23, 8:51 AM |

For anybody who is interested in such things, so far we have 45 quizzes and six crosswords. Reply #263. Oct 25 23, 6:05 AM |

Actually it's 46 quizzes and six crosswords. I'd missed Midget40's - here it is. https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/religion/yes-i-will-414045.html Reply #264. Oct 25 23, 7:34 AM |

Two quizzes added... but we're still 90 off the target. Not looking too good right now! Reply #268. Nov 09 23, 7:43 AM |

When (if?) the currently claimed titles are completed, we'll have another 22 words covered. Should I mention that one of the claimed titles is yours, Wes? Perhaps we should suggest picking a title from here for the November Quiz Writing Month challenge, but maybe posting on here, and thus bumping up the thread will bring it back to people's attention. There seem to have been a lot of things going on recently. Reply #269. Nov 09 23, 8:57 AM |

You tell NASA to arrange their photos better so it won't take me hours to find one usable picture :P Reply #270. Nov 10 23, 10:11 AM |

I'm not sure NASA will take any notice of me, even if I knew how to contact them! Good luck - it sounds as though the quiz will be worth waiting for. Meanwhile I think I have something which will work for 'and you know wherever I am'. So that will be another six words accounted for. Reply #271. Nov 10 23, 11:58 AM |

I think I can make 'Don't You Know About' work for a picture frame this month. Reply #272. Nov 11 23, 1:59 PM |

I will take "Soon I Will Be There" from the song "You've Got a Friend". Reply #273. Nov 11 23, 4:56 PM |

Okay, let's just ditch the original idea I had. Stars aren't the only things that can shine and with moons it will become a quiz before 2027... (Same title, but it actually can be written :) ) Reply #274. Nov 13 23, 3:39 AM |

Working on "I Will Dry Them All" again. It's still not going too well, but I shall persist. Actually using it for a slot in Quiwrimo, so that may give me an additional incentive. Reply #275. Nov 13 23, 5:37 PM |

I was just going to claim it... but it looks you were faster in pointing it out. My original idea was to use stars and spectral types, but the image selection for that was just too difficult and the quiz would have been even harder than the moons one. Reply #278. Nov 19 23, 3:51 PM |
