Hi Gwen!  That is correct, but I'm afraid that Indy Gent jumped in just before you.  :(

Hiya Karen...

#7. 'Go West' - Pet Shop Boys did a huge-selling version over here, but you're probably more familiar with The Village People
#9. 'North To Alaska' - Johnny Horton
#14. 'West End Girls' - Pet Shop Boys (this time!)

Splendid, Sylence!  8)

I have to say I'm impressed that you knew "Northern Skyline" (by Clannad)!  ;)

*Bumped with HINTS*

#12 is "Western Union", but I don't know the name of the band. So will I get half credit?

Yes, nally...you'll get half credit!  ;)

Hi Karen...ooh, am I confused now!!

Going by your clues (and if nally's got the title correct), I'd say the artist was 'The Five Americans'...trouble is, I didn't recall those lyrics in their song...

Just had a quick play of it, and no...they're not in there...(??!!)

#13. (With a little of your assistance...) is 'Southern Nights' by Glen Campbell (not one of his better efforts...probably why it didn't immediately register...)

Hi Paul!

Well to be honest I don't have the song in my personal collection, so I picked a line using a lyrics site.  Just now I keyed the line into Google and it came up with "Western Union" by both Elvis Presley and The Five Americans.  If you say that those particular lyrics aren't in the song then the lyrics site I used must be incorrect.  :-\\ :-#13.

Correct!  And I agree with you in that it wasn't that great a song.  :)

I think I can see where the confusion lies, Karen - I've just had a gander myself...

The lyrics you provided were by Tepper & Bennett, and this must be the version by Elvis...can't say for certain as I've never heard it!

The Five Americans song was written by three of the group...namely Michael Rabon, Norman Ezell and John Durrill...

Very strange how both have been lumped together as one song...!

And as for #3...well, I'm completely stumped, for one...!!

Bumped with new hints!

Well Karen, as regards #3. the artist would be Stan Ridgway, but as to what the song is...still stumped, sad to say...

Apart from Wall Of Voodoo's 'Mexican Radio', I only know one other song of his - 'Camouflage' (which #3. isn't...)

Hiya Paul!

You are correct with the artist!  I have a feeling that this will drag on and on unless I just reveal what the song is called.  Would you like me to do that?  I don't mind....really.  :)

The only Ridgeway song I know the title of (and fits the criteria for the quiz) is Goin' Southbound. Would this be it?

Hey, well done Bobo!  You got it!  ;)
