THIRD LEG: "ALL FOR TWO & FLOOR WALT"
The link you clicked on brought you to a page which told you that the seven scrambled titles were all on that webpage ... but hidden in various ways.
Here is where all the scrambled titles were hiding:
#1 -- Click on the link in the red colored word "GO!!".
#2 -- Click
ONLY on the link in the "&" in the link for "ALL FOR ONE & OAF ENROLL" in the first paragraph.
#3 -- Click the pale blue border with a separate link just
ABOVE the "I
GOT THE SONG" picture link with Al.
#4 -- Highlight with your cursor the white space near the bottom of the screen near the Al pic to see a white text box with white background.
#5 -- Hover your cursor over the picture of Al at the bottom of the screen, and a "Screen Tip" will appear with a scrambled title.
#6 -- Highlight with your cursor the second black line near the top of the page to see black text within the line.
#7 -- Click in the link in the
PICTURE of three exclamation points in the title of this Challenge leg.
Now, here are all seven clues:
#1 -- DADDY GO SOLO
#2 -- AH, SPAM DIARIES
#3 -- OH, BLUE GEOMETRY
#4 -- GORY HYENA BACKS
#5 -- ALL HAIL ENT TORTURE
#6 -- ADD STUPIDEST DOC
#7 -- CHEVY RISKS REALIZED
And the unscrambled titles are:
#1 -- DADDY GO SOLO -- "Good Old Days"
#2 -- AH, SPAM DIARIES -- "Amish Paradise"
#3 -- OH, BLUE GEOMETRY -- "Let Me Be Your Hog"
#4 -- GORY HYENA BACKS -- "Achy Breaky Song"
#5 -- ALL HAIL ENT TORTURE -- "Nature Trail to Hell"
#6 -- ADD STUPIDEST DOC -- "Addicted To Spuds"
#7 -- CHEVY RISKS REALIZED -- "She Drives Like Crazy"
This means the first letters of each clue are G, A, L, A, N, A, and S.
Unscrambled, the "Final Song Title" is
"LASAGNA".
And you didn't HAVE to finish all the titles to figure that out ... but it sure would have helped ...
The instructions said to click on another link once you'd solved the "Final Al Song Title". That link led you to instructions telling you to search WOWAY for the WOWAY thread with the same song title as the Final Song Title. Once you found the thread, you were to search all the posts until you found your next clue to arriving at the last leg.
If you searched the "Lasagna" thread, you would have found THIS post. And it tells you to click on a posted link there to reach the LAST leg.
[And yes, had you clicked and found the instructions to search WOWAY for a thread with a Final Song Title as its name, you could have figured out that the "Lasagna" thread was the ONLY thread which had SEVEN letters in it [except for "Fun Zone", and none of those scrambled titles contained a "Z"] ... and then, you wouldn't have even HAD to unscramble the song titles above. SAH-ree ...]

FOURTH LEG: "CONCERT PICTURES: SECOND ROLL"
When you clicked on the last link above, you were sent to this site, where you were shown six pictures, each one of which represented a word, name, or phrase that contained one of the words
"Weird", "Al", "Bermuda", "West", or "Jay", as in the last "Concert Pictures" Challenge. Each of the five "band words" had been used at least once. You were to figure out the names and PM me via WOWAY with the correct answers.
The five pictures with explanations are as follows:
PHOTO #101 -- JAY JAY THE JET PLANE
--
Jay Jay the Jet Plane is a daytime children's show on PBS [along with Sesame Street, Arthur, and all the other ones your pre-school kids, nieces, and nephews watch]. It's about a six year old jet plane ["Momma, do planes get bigger when they get older?"] who lives at Tarrytown Airport with his friends Tracy the Jet Plane, Herky the Helicopter, and [I
swear I'm
not making these up] Snuffy the Skywriter. Jay Jay LOVES to explore! Do
YOU like to explore? YOU
DO?!?! Imagine that ... Let's move on now, shall we? ...
HINTS: The "PBS Kids" Logo should have helped. A Google search of "PBS Kids" and "plane" would point you to Jay Jay.
PHOTO #102 -- AL JOLSON
-- Al Jolson was a legendary blackface entertainer from the 1920's, meaning he performed his vaudeville acts on stage with his face entirely covered in black face paint [some entertainers in those days including Al believed audiences laughed more for black performers -- remember, it was a
much different world back then]. He is famous for his songs "Mammy", "Swanee", "Toot Toot Tootsie (Good Bye)", "Sonny Boy". But by far his biggest claim to fame is his appearance in the world's first
talking motion picture in 1927 --
The Jazz Singer. "You ain't heard nothin' yet!!"
HINTS: The "Mammy!" speech balloon should have helped, if you didn't recognize the face. A Google search of "blackface" or even just "Mammy" should have brought you to Al Jolson.
PHOTO #103 -- WEIRD TALES
--
Weird Tales is a magazine which is one of the mainstays of the horror publishing industry. Begun in 1923[!!], it started as a small pulp "unique magazine" and offered young writers an outlet for "highly imaginative stories" [some of which were ...
*ahem*v... a bit risque even by today's standards]. Much like the zombies that often mentioned in its pages, the little magazine refused to die, and in so doing, launched the careers of many successful writers known both in the field of horror [Carl Jacobi, Henry Kuttner, Robert Bloch] and some now famous writers known outside horror [HP Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury]. It still is published now, some 80 years later. [Hey, again, do you know how few things there are in this world with the name "Weird" in them?? I'd have done Chuck Shepherd's "News Of The Weird" ... but how do you illustrate that without the word "Weird" already in it???]
HINTS: It's pretty certain that what it is is an old magazine; the low price tags of 15 to 20 cents and the dates on the cover should have told you that. The cover material should have easily led you to "Weird"; combining that with some of the authors' names on the covers in a Google search will lead you to "Weird Tales".
PHOTO #104 -- BILLY WEST
-- Billy West is a legend in voiceover acting in Hollywood. He has provided the voices of numerous characters in animation, including Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in the movie
Space Jam, Doug Funnie in Nickelodeon's
Doug, and even Ralph the Roach on MTV's movie
Joe's Apartment. By far, he's most known for being the voice of Stimpson J. Cat in
Ren And Stimpy and the voices of Fry, Professor Farnsworth, and Dr. Zoidberg on
Futurama. But did you ALSO know Billy has a Weird Al conection?? He also was the voice of the narrator who voiced the "Today's Lesson" for the beginning of each episode of
The Weird Al Show!!
HINTS: There were enough characters there that you should have recognized from television. If not, you should have recognized the "Today's Lesson" from
The Weird Al Show openings. Searching for any of two of the character's names or even just "Weird Al show narrator" would cause Billy West's name to pop up readily.
PHOTO #105 -- BERMUDA ONION
-- This onion with a flattened top to it is called a Bermuda Onion, which originally came from England but has been strongly associated with Bermuda for many many years. It was later introduced to south Texas in 1894. It is commonly described as a mild-flavored onion shaped like a flattened sphere. Occasionally it refers to a purple-colored onion with a thick root, giving it a lightbulb-like shape. Now, basically ANY flattened onion with a mild sweet flavor to it is commonly referred to as a Bermuda onion. [Vidalia onions are a hybrid of Bermuda onions with Grano onions from Spain.] ... Um ... Okay, now that's probably more than you
ever wanted to know about onions, isn't it??? Hey, c'mon, gimme a break! Do you know how
few things there are in this world that actually have the name "Bermuda" in them??
HINTS: Okay. It's an ONION. It can't be a JAY ONION ... or an AL ONION ... or a WEST ONION ... or even a WEIRD ONION [though its appearance certainly fits]. What name haven't we used yet? Search "Bermuda" and "onion", and there you go.
PHOTO #106 -- "ROCK OF THE WESTIES"
-- This is one of Elton John's classic albums, having been released in 1975. It has several of his now standard songs on it, including "Island Girl", "Grow Some Funk of Your Own", and the oddly named Top 40 tune "I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)". It was his seventh consecutive Number One album and his second to debut at Number One on the Billboard charts. [BTW: El? This one was for you!

]
HINTS: If you didn't recognize Elton John, his name was
still there on the cover. And if you weren't sure if it was an album cover or a photo of him, the added "sticker" telling you it contained "Island Girl" would have cleared that up. Searching for "Elton John" and "Island Girl" surely would have led you to "Rock Of The Westies".
So again, in summary, the correct answers were:
PHOTO #101 -- JAY JAY THE JET PLANE
PHOTO #102 -- AL JOLSON
PHOTO #103 -- WEIRD TALES
PHOTO #104 -- BILLY WEST
PHOTO #105 -- BERMUDA ONION
PHOTO #106 -- "ROCK OF THE WESTIES"
And the first person to send me all six correct answers was --
weirdallie27!!!
Believe it or not, she sent her answer to me at 9:26 PM EST ... not even AN HOUR after the Challenge was posted!!

[although, keep in mind, she DID win in the prior "Couch Potato" Challenge #7 a shortcut through the second leg of THIS Challenge!]
And one hour later, at 10:32 PM EST, I received six correct answers from Jackie [DrSteggy]! Those were the
only answers -- correct
or incorrect -- I received from anyone the night of the Challenge!!
In fact, they are the only answers I EVER RECEIVED FROM ANYBODY!!
