Hello gemini61.  :)

Absolutely right with all of them (but you are going to have to share No 13 with Indy Gent who got the artist).

Well done.

3. Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
16. Hound Dog - Elvis
18. Elusive Butterfly - Bob Lind (I Think)

and I know who did 13 if you raise the limit to 3.5


Very good. I would have taken Bob Lind or Val Doonican.

Right on all acounts, Gaylon. Excellent.

1. The Birds and The Bees-Jewel Akins
4. Buffalo Stance-Nenah Cherry
13. Jim Stafford


Absolutely right on all three, Indy Gent - You share No 13 with gemini.  :)

#12 War Pigs -- Black Sabbath

#15 Eye of the Tiger -- Survivor


Both correct. Well done, Herauntsis.  :)

#10 Walk The Dinosaur - Was Not Was


Right on both accounts, Maddog. Toy Dolls did indeed sing Nelly the Elephant. I wasn't sure whether I should have included 'Walk the dinosaur' but I thought let's try and do the whole spectrum of beasts.  ;D

Well done.

Mandy Miller I believe


I think you are right, Karen but I was really after The Toy Dolls. I wanted to keep the nursery rhymes idea out of this thread otherwise it may get a little tricky. I nearly had 'Pop goes the weasel' by Anthony Newley but I couldn't find any lyrics.  ;D

Hi Bobby ! :)

#8  Rock Lobster - B52's 8)

Hi Bobby ! :)

Hello Mandamoo! Absolutely right.  :D

Hi Bobby...three from here...

#2. 'Ride A Wild Horse' - Dee Clark (a terrific 50s/60s soul singer who hit paydirt with this 70s number...)

#17. 'Pickin' A Chicken' - Eve Boswell (where on Earth did you pick this one up from...?!!)

#20. 'Rat In Mi Kitchen' - UB40

And yep, karen - quite correct, it was Mandy Miller singing about the elephant...a throwback to my 'Junior Choice' days, that one...!

19.  George Michael  "Monkey"

---cornwallis

Right on all accounts, Paul. 17. is a bit of a funny one, isn't it? I heard the title a long time ago and was quite dissapointed to find that the song was quite . . . Well  . . . Boring to be honest. However, it did hit No 9 in 1955 .
