20) No. (I'll be charitable and say you have correctly assumed the band, though.)


This is the final push; one final guess from 5 different people to ascertain the correct song.

My last guess will be, "Hangar 18"?

As much much I love listening to "Hangar 18", I'm sorry to say that is not the particular song in question, Punk.

If it helps at all, the song ties into something that took place over the weekend.

No, it is not. It has been determined the song was written and released between the years 1990 and 1999.

It's past your deadline, but I'll offer my guess: "À Tout le Monde"?

I'm posting the above to remind you. Is this something you want to expand on for us, or are you just going to choose a musical instrument next time?

Jetée

Yes. It is. On both counts. (I was waiting the required 24 hours so my posts wouldn't merge)

21 June, in addition to being the summer equinox (solstice), was also the celebration of Fête de la Musique, now 28 years into its annual festivities. It promotes both small-venue and professional music artists to "make music", and is especially responsive to the French-style of music writing.

So, one of the first songs that popped into my head that somewhat related in its theme was Megadeth's À Tout le Monde. That's it.


Wrexify, you take over.

My God, I've never won anything before... I haven't really prepared a speech or anything...


Alright, fire away!

2) Yes. (I feel the need to clarify here that this person is fictional. Living as an entity, but not "alive" as a real human being.)

Wrexify

3) No. (though that does paint an interesting picture in my mind...)

5 - television character?

4) No

5) No - see below


After a quick search, I found that there was a character with the same name who DID appear briefly on TV. They are NOT the same character and I'm not the one who appeared on TV.

7) Nope, not a mascot.

Quick recap: I'm a fictional person, not in American or European or Arabic literature, not on TV, and I'm not a mascot.

9. Does your name start with a vowel?

Wrexify

8) No.

9) No.


Perhaps a hint is in order... maybe after a couple more questions I'll throw one out there. Only if you want one, of course.
