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!

Here is MikeMaster99's quiz. https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/world/if-you-need-a-friend-415001.html I think there are just two more quizzes and a crossword, now. Reply #422. Jan 01 24, 2:47 PM |

A new pair of songs for 2024 will come up soon (I hope). We have received an outstanding submission, but as always, this is a joint decision of all editors and we'll also need to create a badge name and image for it. If the current suggestion goes through, I am confident it will result in a set of submissions that will be of the utmost quality. Stay tuned! Reply #423. Jan 01 24, 3:36 PM |

Many thanks Lottie - you beat me to it! Happy New Year to you, and Wes too of course Reply #424. Jan 01 24, 6:01 PM |

Here is "To..." from Misstified:- https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/general/to-415013.html Just one more crossword and one more quiz to come. I think Misstified, Chavs and MikeMaster99 are still waiting for their badges, which will bring the total of contributors to a nice round 50. Reply #425. Jan 02 24, 2:45 AM |

Sorry - I'd forgotten that you already had the badge, and I see that Wes has handed out the last two, now. So forty-nine authors in total, this time. Reply #427. Jan 02 24, 3:22 AM |

It's 50 after all - Matthew_07's fell through some cracks in the bridge deck. I sent a diver to retrieve it and it's now on his profile. With new, extra strong screws, too :) Reply #429. Jan 02 24, 6:15 AM |

Thanks, Lottie. At least I’m not the only one then. I’ve been getting increasingly anxious. Though of course, General must be very busy.it would be helpful if there were a way to see where your submitted quiz was in the cue. Reply #434. Jan 04 24, 12:08 PM |

Not sure it's that, catreona, as I submitted my last one to General less than five hours before you submitted yours and mine was put online in less than two days. All I can think of is that maybe different editors look at different areas of the General category submissions. Reply #435. Jan 04 24, 2:52 PM |

I think that's everything, now. Seventy-nine quizzes and nine crosswords have been completed. Now we can relax until the next time. Reply #439. Jan 05 24, 5:26 AM |
