Rock Golf, Round 1 results and round 2 questions
Disappointing entries for round one - but that does mean that there's not much for latecomers to make up.
answers are unscreened here
Comments: I was suprised nobody selected Delilah for the "cheating punished" question, nor Freddie Mercury for the British Artist born overseas.
Good going, overall from all three competitors, there were some real b*stards in that round. (And there's more, this)
Summary results
1st: artela with 50 strokes.
2nd: aligoestonz with 73 strokes
3rd: wingedkami with 91 strokes
Therefore, artela leads on 2 under par, aligoestonz is one under, and wingedkami on par, all newcomers in round two will start one over.

* Twist and Shout was a Beatles cover of an Isely Brothers song, not an original, so, strictly speaking, Chaka Demus and Pliers didn't do a Beatles cover.

Round Two is behind the cut below.
Rules are as set out in this post, except the closing date is Sunday 23 July at noon GMT
1. An artist's name including any word meaning "heaven" in any language. (State language if not English) For the purposes of this question 'heaven' must have an explicit religious and utopian connection, being the ultimate aim of humankind according to that religion - either an eternal resting place for the pure, or a state of advanced consciousness.
Format: Artist's Name (Language), religion.
2. A song about a road.
Format: Title, Artist, Road (if not mentioned in the title)
3. A band with a literary name (named after a classic book, or a character in a classic book, where classic = more than 25 years old and written by an author who has received some serious critical acclaim) For instance, a band called The Pickwick Papers or Boromir would qualify, but one called Pet Sematary or Hagrid wouldn't.
Format: Artist, Book, Author.
4. A song whose lyrics mention a town or city in mainland Europe, but not a national capital.
Format: Title, artist, city
5. A song with lyrics mentioning the sovereign of all drinks: tea.
Format: Title, artist

The person should, therefore, make something or fix something in the course of their job. no professions, no work that doesn't require extensive training through apprenticeship or certification. No salespeople :-)
Format: Title, artist, trade
12. Imagine a scene in a movie, where one or more of the characters sings along to a hit song, or sings a prior hit to another character. That's the song I want here. Not a band performing on stage, not a production number in a musical, not a soundtrack number. One character singing a song they know and like, to or with someone else, and not as part of a formal performance. Think showers, living rooms, cars and bars here.
Format: Artist, Title, Movie and character(s) (or actor's name) doing the singing.
13. A band whose full name is usually abbreviated, but isn't solely an abbreviation. (R.E.M. wouldn't count here)
Format: Artist full name and usual abbreviation.
14. A song that spawned a dance craze - the song must have started the craze, it can't just mention it, and the dance must have been widespread.
Format: Artist, title.
15. A song with lyrics referring to a disaster - avalanches, earthquakes, tidal waves, wrecks etc. No wars or battles here, please.
Format: Artist, title, disaster
16. A song with lyrics that insult the intelligence of some person other than the singer. (Fool on the Hill wouldn't count, since there's no insult, nor would You won't find another fool like me, where the singer is the idiot)
Format: Artist, title, who's insulted and how?
17. A song about a father.
Format:Artist, title
18. A song that mentions some variety of undead beast

Tiebreaker. Johnny Depp has asked me to make him a mix CD. I want to impress him with my intelligence, sexiness and humour, through my selections. List 6 songs I should put on the CD to do that.
