9)We didnt start the fire-Billy Joel, London Calling-The clash
13)johnnie B goode-Chuck Berry

End Quote

Hi JustPassingThrough

#18 is correct
#15 well, not the one I was thinking of but you get a bonus point
#6 again, not the one I was thinking of - Crazy Don guessed "The Reflex" by Duran Duran

I'm going to have to write a league table for these bonus points!

Quoting:
10. Walk on the Wild Side -- Lou Reed

Correct Zenobia, well done!

Quoting:
18. Wind Of Change-Scorpions
Ooops, yes it WAS "Back In The USSR". The Scorps used the singular balilaika
19. Me and Elvis-Human Radio
Probably not the song you're thinking about. :-/

1. There are actually 2 songs with Wormwood Scrubs. The most popular song was "Down At The Tube Station at Midnight" by the Jam (featuring Billy Bragg). The other song was "One Night In Moscow (And We'll Be Russian Home!) by Toy Dolls. Google does have it's advantages. ;)
End Quote

Hi Indy

#18 - I'll take your advice on this one ;)

#19 no, not the one I'm thinking of...bonus point though

#1 - I was thinking of The Jam, I don't know the Toy Dolls song...so yet another bonus point!

FB  ;)

Quoting:
           
              7. The Hooded Claw
                 - I think this could be Frankie Goes To Hollywood
                 with 'The Power Of Love'?
End Quote

Correct again mandamoo, you're on a roll here...

Quoting:
I think I have some good guesses....

#7 ""The Hooded Claw" - Frankie Goes to Hollywood "the Power of Love"

#16 "bippity boppity" - boo!  The godmother in Cinderella

#19 "mantelpiece" - Yardbirds "Little Soldier Boy"

#20 "gypsy landslide" PJ Harvey "Good Fortune"

Is it proper to add more uniques?

Thanks for the workout!
End Quote

Hi Texasotter

#7 is correct but mandamoo just beat you to it
#16 you're right, come to think of it, but not the song I was thinking of, so I've failed once again on the "unique" criteria
#19 once again a bonus point to you - I don't know this Yardbirds song
#20 YEESSS!!! (I may not have mentioned it before but I *love* PJ Harvey!)

Quoting:

# 19  Ballad In Plain D - Bob Dylan

I have learned my lesson and I'm publicly eating humble pie. Never again will I claim that the lyrics in my quiz are unique, I'll stick to "unusual" in future!

So sorry Fuss, Ballad in Plain D is not the mantelpiece reference I was looking for.

As for your thought process, you had hinted that you knew more answers when you said "only threee?" in your first answer. Then you put "Lazy Sunday" by the Small Faces in your Days of the Week quiz and that song has always reminded me of Park Life by Blur, somehow, so I suspected you'd made the same association. Or maybe I'm looking for patterns that don't exist!

What ?  No bonus point ?  Waaahhh !

Thought process ?  I rarely have any, at least none that I can write about openly in these forums  :P

There was no pattern.  My reference to only three was that at that time I knew more that had not been answered <sniff>

FB  :)

Quoting:
Your bonus point is not forgotten! And I will be publishing the total points table, with bonus points, when all the answers are in.

By the way, your profile says you're in Australia and the "mantelpiece" reference I have in mind is by an Australian/New Zealand band of the late 80s/90s...
