Subject: Do You Know Any Of These Songs And/Or Artists?
Written By: FaultyDog on 09/05/06 at 3:17 pm

Cuz I've used lyrics and/or sound clippings from these songs in my quizzes, where they remained unanswered.
So now I was wondering: am I really the only person to know these songs? :-\\

A Deeper Shade Of Soul - Urban Dance Squad
African Blood - Supermax
Animal Woman - Y&T
Any Second Now (Voices) - Depeche Mode

The ones i've heard are:
4 My People - Missy Elliott: Was a reasonable hit for her back in 2002. Basement Jaxx did a remix of it
As - George Michael & Mary J. Blige: This is the one with the music video with loads of George Michaels and Mary J Bliges in it
Don't You Love Me - Eternal: Wasn't their most popular hit, but got reasonable airplay
Luvstruck - Southside Spinners: This was a dancey one, wasn't it? If I remember rightly, it's from the summer of 2000
Ooh Wee - Mark Ronson: I think i've heard this one, or at least there's a song keeps getting played on the radio at work which also goes 'Ooh Wee'
The Launch - DJ Jean: Oh sweet Jesus, yes. Got shedloads of airplay and made no.2 in the UK charts, despite being one of the most irritating "songs" of the past 6 years
Through The Rain - Mariah Carey: I've only heard it a few times. This was a minor UK hit for Mariah
Who's Gonna Stop The Rain - Anastacia: I only know this one because my mam has her albums. I don't think this was released as a single in the UK
Hope that helps :)

Every Little Bit Hurts - Brenda Holloway
Home - Depeche Mode
If I Ever Fall In Love - Shai
New Life - Depeche Mode
I know Brenda Holloway because I was raised on Motown. I also had the pleasure of seeing her five years ago at a concert. She rocked. I know the two DeMode songs because they are on my singles collection...and Home happens to be one of my favorite songs by them. And the Shai song I used to listen to when I was younger.
Many of the songs sound like remakes and most of the DeMode songs sound familiar, but I don't think I've heard them.

Yes, I own all of the songs above.
I dare say I know some of the others, but unless I own something, chances are I'll have no idea what the name of the song is. :)

It's good to know some songs are (reasonably) well known to you. This makes me feel a little better. :)
It's a pity though you weren't around to participate in my quizzes. ;)

I know the Mariah Carrey song and I think I know the "Deeper Shade Of Soul" song- I think that one's played on MuchMoreRetro sometimes

The only title I recognize from that list is 'Christmas Through Your Eyes' by Gloria Estefan...and even then, I'd only know the music and not the lyrics... :-\\

I know all of those, and I have some of those (such as "Manuel Goodbye" on 45), but not too well enough to sometimes recognize them within a small soundclip :\'(
I do however know "I Need You" by Paul Carrack real well. Heck, I could recognize it coming out of someone's iPod in a room full of people screaming ;D Have you used it in an audio quiz yet?

Maybe Henk should only do audio quizzes for Jason. It seems he's the only one who knows most of this obscure crap.

Not all of it is obscure. "Face the Face" by Pete Townshend and "I Need You" by Paul Carrack both hit the US Top 30. The rest is obscure ;D
For me, the best songs are those which are not popular in North America, so I can often recognize songs that no one else does ;D

Those songs are obscure to me.....I've never heard of them. I only know of those two people in their respective bands.

It's one of my favorite songs, EVER. I love how it reads like it's about one thing, but the song was written about something completely different.

Ok I know about 10 and at least three of them I love and would have got instantly, Love on a rooftop by Desmond Child being one of them (it's a fab song.)To make a valid point here, I don't have a sound card in my computer att work so I can't do your 'musical clip' quizes and I'm probably not the only one who can't actually play the clips which is why I and maybe others don't enter.

I can do you for four 'definites', Henk...
Every Little Bit Hurts - Brenda Holloway
Original Bird Dance - Electronicas
Race With The Devil - Gun
View From A Bridge - Kim Wilde
...these four I'd normally readily 'get', but I must have overlooked them...sorry! :-[
As for the others, well...a lot of familiar names, but sadly a lot of the titles don't immediately register...
I wouldn't worry too much...you contribute some fine quizzes (and I've been known to stagger on the side of obscurity at times! ;))

I see no smileys so I take it you're being serious here. Correct me if I'm wrong.
So I've used what you consider to be "obscure crap". If that's a crime (in your eyes), I plead guilty. Yes, I've done it and I will do it again, given the chance. "Obscure crap" is what makes my quizzes quizzes - I'm sorry if you don't like that.
I have often been amazed by the knowledge of other members, even when it came to the "obscure crap" section. That's why I kept putting them in my quizzes. If you're not into this "obscure crap", maybe that's your bad.
From the replies to my original post I conclude that Jason isn't the only one to know "this obscure crap". I admit though Jason and I do seem to have a similar taste in music. Obviously that's not your taste, but that doesn't make it "crap".
Crap = stuff
You know....."Whose crap is on the floor?" "Oh, that's my stuff.....".
Sorry - that's not what it says in my dictionary.
Crap: 1. excrement. 2. act of defecating. 3. nonsense.
Is my dictionary wrong?

According the Wikipedia article on the word, there is more than just the meanings you presented above. You've never heard someone use the word "crap" when talking about "stuff"? It's a colloquialism and I hear it constantly. "Will someone pick this crap up off the floor?" is something I hear a lot in my house....because my sister and I are a bit messy. Is my mom calling my sister's shoes "excrement, the act of defecating or nonsense"? No, she's not. It's stuff....and it's on the floor and in her way, so it's crap.
You misunderstood what I was saying and went in a whole new tangent than it was not meant to go. And you are wrong.....I wasn't being serious.
