Hi Kenny. I had to go and check the lyrics for "I Don't Like Mondays" to see if they were the same as the song I had in mind. It was not. Two of the three words were there (machine, overload)...but the third word was slightly different (rocked, not rocket). Very similar though. :-/

Hi CF

#16 is Queen Of Hearts - Dave Edmunds

this was a UK hit in 1979. I recall from an earlier quiz on this board that Juice Newton had a US hit with the same song in the 1980s.

Hi Maddog! You are correct! :D Juice Newton's version is the only one I know. I was not aware that Dave Edmunds had originally done this song. :-[

I'm afraid that isn't even the right song. The song in question came out in the mid-80's...if that helps. :)

I'm bumping this back to the top with more words. This time there is a word that is found in the titles, which should help people. ;)

Written By: maddog167 on 09/23/03 at 03:14 p.m.

Oi, are you referring to me here?? ;D :P

Anyhoo...that extra "title" word takes me unavoidably to #15 and what I believe I've previously stated is the only REO Speedwagon song that I like (or really know, to be honest)..."Take It On The Run".
