Another word game - twenty questions

After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

Had it been written earlier, it would have been a good song for Muddy Waters.

I noticed that WB had said something about the singer washing his hands of the ciggy butts and then he mentioned muddying the water, so I googled muddy water and hands. I thought I would be disqualified.

Well done Elegran, there are so very many Elvis songs that are not well known, I was trawling through in between everything boiling over on the stove, but I don't think I would have ever guessed.

Sorry, that was too hard to be reasonable. Just that I was singing/playing it last night, great song for Ukulele, as are many of the early Elvis songs.

Anyways, I meant Muddy Waters the blues singer. I think there's telepathy going on!

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 18:12:47

Oh no! You have a go Elegran.

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 18:12:40

Some good clues, WB

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 18:12:17

I had expected you to get Elvis much earlier.

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 18:11:51

Fiendishly clever

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 18:11:50

But wot said Muddy Waters a few posts up. she got it first.

Ana Tue 08-Nov-16 18:11:04

(My post was to Elegran, not you wot!)

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 18:10:18

Elegran has it. Great song, but for some reason little known.

Well done

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 18:10:08

Oh, I love Elvis! ?

Ana Tue 08-Nov-16 18:09:35

Never heard of it! grin

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 18:09:24

Nat King Cole? Unforgettable?

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 18:08:49

Elvis was the king!

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 18:08:18

Shall I put a link to it on Youtube? Then someone else can have to start the next one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g5gWIxw9_g

Google never cheats.

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 18:07:38

It goes....."man, it's so hot today!" Which it isn't.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 18:06:52

Googles not cheating.

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 18:06:40

Muddy Waters, something about shoes and walking?

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 18:06:29

You have so many clues now, wiki will help

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 18:05:55

I have cheated and Googled!

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 18:05:13

10 to go === I think

shandi6570 Tue 08-Nov-16 18:05:01
