Spring and flowers go together like bees and honey. And so does love and this flower. Do you know what flower I'm talking about? Well, the "Rose" of course. So, we'll continue our musical trivia challenge with this symbol of love. A dozen of these flowers will surely cheer a person up whether given on Valentine's Day or just to say I love you. And here is Vic Dana's version of love with his tune "Red Roses for a Blue Lady." She's the sweetest girl in town! Enjoy this romantic make up tune while you tackle those clues... (Remember words in quotations do provide hints to the music trivia answers) Whodunnit- Name that tune or artist: 1. This musician's most celebrated song was released in 1994 and reached #1 on the Billboard charts only after movie audiences heard it played on the film "Batman Forever." In his personal life this singer "married swimsuit model Heidi Klum" in 2005. The artist is known by just "one name" it's the same one as an "animal which lives in the Arctic and Antarctic waters, eats mainly fish, and has flippers." -Do you know this romantic sounding "Rose song" and the artist who sang it? 2. This lady singer who is one of the most successful recording artists of all-time released this "rose titled tune" in 1975. She is of Mexican heritage and is known as the "First Lady of Rock," but has covered many genres in her career including pop, country, folk, Latin and Broadway. In this song the singer compares love to a rose but warns that "you better not pick it because love only grows when it's on the vine." The idea being once it's picked the flower (love) may die and your left with a broken relationship (thorns) instead. This singer's career started with the group the "Stone Poneys" before she eventually went solo. She is known for such hits as "Your No Good," "Different Drum" and "When Will I Be Loved." to name a few. -Do you know this female singer and her rose-titled love song? 3. (Bonus) This artist with the "falsetto voice and ukulele" became well known after recording and playing "this song in 1968." His "marriage to Miss Vicki" on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on December 17, 1969, drew a viewing audience of 40 million people. -Do you know who this shy performer is and the name of his flower titled song? Ok, no "seeds of doubt now" when figuring out these song and artist answers. If you're stuck and need additional hints just let me know in your response. Or as the band Jefferson Starship would say, you can "Count On Me." Thanks for reading and responding to my music post!!! I will return with a new edition soon. Hope you can wait till then, lol. Stay tuned... Source- Wikipedia & songfacts.com

Thanks. Fun fact: Tiny Tim had a daughter with Miss Vicki who they named what else...Tulip. Not so fun fact: Seal's facial scars are attributed to a disease known as a type of lupus called discoid lupus erythematosus, which affects the skin and leaves large scars.

1. Anything after about 1985 when it comes to popular music I just have to throw a fish at like feeding a Seal. 2. That would be the otolaryngology theme song, “Love is a nose but you’d better not pick it.” I saw a recent photo of Linda, and the Parkinson’s and age are really showing on her. Such a remarkably talented lady. 3. Oh, I know that guy! He’s tiny! His name is Tim!! And he did a song that was, for some inexplicable reason, featured in an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants! (Coolest music appearances are a tie between Junior Brown and the Violent Femmes.). I’ll tiptoe around this answer as much as I can! A couple of these songs will show up on my forthcoming “roses” list! (I guess you’ve already figured out it won’t be “Kiss From a Rose,” right? )

Yes, I do admit Seal is not on my playlists, but he does deliver the song with emotion. "Not A Pick!" Not a Pick! Fun fact: Tiny Tim had a daughter with Miss Vicki who they named what else...Tulip.

1. His name is Seals and the song is Kiss from a Rose. 2. Linda Ronstadt but have no idea for the song. I do remember the line from your clue but nothing else comes to mind. Give me another clue and see if it jars my memory. 3. Tiny Tim with Tiptoe Through The Tulips.

Nice, almost a "primrose path" to perfection #2- well, a rose signifies love, so love is____________.

As they say...there is no "rose" without a thorn or two. But the good news is your answers are correct ' Here is a bit of help. When you adore someone like your children or husband you _____ them. Song title: _________ is a ___________ (or...a favorite bouquet of flowers to receive from your special someone.) Tiny's song was Tip Toe Through The Tulips. Fun fact: Tiny Tim had a daughter with Miss Vicki who they named what else...Tulip. Enjoy the rose...
