SUPER CROSSWORD: CH-CHALLENGE
by Mick Harper
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Honesty is the best policy,
of course. But you’ll do better at
achieving your goals if you can be
less aggressive and more circum-
spect in how you phrase your
comments.
1. Which group
released the “Hitchin’
a Ride” in 1969?
2. “How Will I Know”
was on which artist’s
debut album?
3. Which Detroit
band released
“Talking in Your
Sleep”?
4. Who released
“Needle in a Hay-
stack,” and when?
5. Name the song that
contains this lyric:
“I’ve never seen so
many men ask you if
you wanted to dance,
looking for a little
romance, given half a
chance.”

ANSWERS
1. British band Vanity
Fare. Th e song did
very well in the U.K.
but even better in the
U.S., with Billboard
calling it the No. 14
song of 1970.
2. Whitney Houston,
in 1985. Th e song
was written for Janet
Jackson, but she took
a pass. It spent two
weeks at the top of the
charts.
3. Th e Romantics, in
1984. Th e song did
especially well on
Disco/Dance charts.
4. Motown girl group
the Velvelettes, in
1964. Th e group
started when they
were in high school
and college.
5. “Th e Lady in Red,”
by Chris de Burgh,
1986. Th e song,
inspired by the fi rst
time de Burgh saw
the woman who
would become his
wife, went global,
topping the charts.
In some cold-heart-
ed circles, however,
the song made it to
most-hated lists.

to yourself. A lull in your social life
ends by the weekend. Have fun.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-
ary 18) It’s a good time to let those
recently pent-up emotions fl ow
more freely. Why not start by letting
the people you care for know how
you really feel about them?
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)

decision. Only you know what must
