Okay, here goes. This comes compliments of Mr. 2Shoes, because I am lousy at this game, and I also have Question Performance Anxiety Syndrome, or whatever you called it.

Also, I cannot say for sure whether the answer I'm looking for is correct, because it's not really my question, and because, well, it's Mr. 2Shoes. His aim ain't always so true. So you'll just have to go with me here.

What was the first major motion picture (and I'm assuming that would be major American motion picture) whose score featured only string instruments?

Hint: It's also the name of a song on the Almost Blue bonus disc. See, it's more topical than you thought.

Hello, anyone out there ?
OK, a hint - the song comes from a solo album of the leader of one of popular UK bands.

Ok, that was probably too obscure. It was "The Perfect Couple" from Paul Heaton's solo album.

Probably easier one - what song does my signature come from ?

No, I only have the first two, and to be honest I haven't really liked anything he's done since...just remember those lyrics. :lol: Anyone else want to answer this sitter!?

Actually, it is from the last-but-one album "Have You Fed The Fish?" (I haven't heard the last one yet). It's my favourite song off the album and it's called "You Were Right".
Another one (pleeeease answer it) : Glenn Tilbrook and Jennifer Saunders - any connection ?

Difford played with Holland
Saunders with French

Don't think that that is it though.

Glenn (along with Chris Difford) wrote the theme tune to Girls on Top, which was written by and starred Jennifer Saunders (and Dawn French).

Well I suck at both, so having two gives me more opportunities, but don't bore yourself on my account! 8)
