I know -nothing- about music, but even I know that song. It's one of those you just know.

I know the song, but I got stuck on "Fire and Rain" which has that as a lyric. Struggled to figure out where water came into it, then ran out of time.

At first I was tripped up by John Denver's Rocky Mountain High lyrics, "I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky."

I cannot believe it was the only one I didn't get.

I used to sing it in a band in school (I'm 40 now) and the rugby team I follow (Leicester Tigers) run out to it on matchdays.

I love the song, and knew I recognised the lyric, but it just wouldn't come to me. I feel awful about that one!

For me, it was because the lyric is "a fire in the sky" (not "and fire in the sky").

'Enhanced Interrogation' is just a fancy way of saying torture.

I was thrown by the "...and fire in the sky" also. Checked six lyric sites and found:

3 w/o any word between phrases: "smoke on the water, fire in the sky"

2 w/ "a" as the conjunction: "smoke on the water, a fire in the sky"

1 w/ "and" as the conjuntion: "smoke on the water, and fire in the sky."

Certainly didn't see a majority of sites endorsing the "and" version. Of course, I was wrong too - I always it was "the fire in the sky."

I definitely thought it was just "fire in the sky", and it completely threw me off. Should be changed imo.

What a fun quiz! Just a quick recommendation: you could include "The Shape of Water", "Water for Chocolate", and "Water for Elephants" as answers.

From "Some Like It Hot":

Sugar Kane Kowalczyk: Water polo? Isn't that terribly dangerous?

Shell Junior: I'll say. I had two ponies drowned under me.

torture is illegal under international law, which is exactly why it's called "enhanced interrogation", so they can pretend like it's not torture.
