Wagner only ever wrote one opera (maybe he felt music was more expressive than words) but had he gone on to write another, the following songs might have been included.

The following verses are intro's to well known (not necessarily good) songs - can you name them? This would be a might easy except for the fact that they are written as Wagner would have written them.

I've done the hardest part, translated them to English, but my German grammar is poor and they all seem a little wordy. You'll need to decipher each line at a time
(although sometimes just one line is a give-away) and -
name that song!

HOW TO PLAY

First select a decade from the pull-down menu. This will open a window showing some lyrics from various songs from that decade (the exact year is also shown as a clue).

If you think you know one of the songs, select the lyric number from the lyric menu and enter the song title in the GUESS box (press return to see if you're right).

If you're stuck for the answer and it is beginning to bug you then you might want to give in. So click the button marked 'GIVE IN !' (well that makes sense)

GOOD LUCK!
