"Antichrist" and "the Devil" are not synonyms.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist

You might want to go with "Satan" instead.

Call Me Maybe was definitely more influential in my life than any Bob Dylan song.

Call Me Maybe was my favorite song as a child.

More recent things are always going to score higher than all but the absolute most famous older stuff. That's not a value judgment, just that most people are more familiar (or at least can more readily bring to mind) more recent stuff.

I think there's also the fact that the Dylan one is simply a harder clue: one synonym isn't very exact and the other uses an obscure word. Most of the others are reasonably guessable without knowing the song; that one I can imagine even people who know the song failing to get if they don't know what "cerulean" means.

It is. The Sabbath is and always has been Saturday for every Abrahamic religion. Sunday, for Christian's, is the Lord's Day. Not the Sabbath. Because Jews prohibited doing work on the Sabbath (Saturday), and Christians go to church on Sunday and therefore Sunday became a common day off from work in Christian countries, many Christians were confused into conflating the two things. But Sunday is not the Sabbath Day. Never has been. Not in any religion or denomination.

What you say about "not in any denomination" is just wrong. Baptist, Methodist and Congregational denominations typically consider that after the resurrection the Sabbath changed from Saturday to the Christian Sabbath of Sunday. This can be found explicitly in several denominational statements of faith, for example see paragraph 22.7 of the 1689 Baptist confession.

Admittedly there are other Christian denominations which consider that the Sabbath is still on Saturday (some of which additionally celebrate the Lord's day on Sunday). But there certainly are major denominations in which Sunday is the Sabbath.

Before some confused Christian comes along and tries to argue with me as always- If you want to know why Sunday is holy for Christians it's because of the resurrection story.

Jesus was crucified on a Friday. The Jews had to cut down his body and bury him quickly because it was almost Saturday (the Sabbath) and they can't do work on the Sabbath. This is why Jesus was buried very nearby the spot where he was crucified, and not on the Mount of Olives (visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the two spots are within 20 seconds walking distance). So.. he was buried on Friday, to avoid doing work on the Sabbath (Saturday), and.. on the third day (Sunday) he rose from the dead. This is why Sunday is holy to Christians. It has nothing to do with it being the Sabbath (it's not).

Who is this Chris Rea people keep bringing up? I too thought of Road to Hell for that question, but I was thinking of Bruce Dickinson. Even so, I quickly realized the AC/DC song was much more likely and got the answer.

That's only when mixing colors of light (with black being the absence of any color). In paint colors, however (or really anything that's not light), black is the presence of all colors and white is the absence of any, hence "uncolored."

Instead of having the same words in the clue as in the song, what about the following alternatives:

At the time pigeons weep

The two of us located romance

Ensnared in cerulean

Compassion on account of the antichrist

Phone my person perchance
