I haven't done one of these in a while so I thought it was about time for another.  This is a lyrics quiz with a 'hidden theme'.  Your job is to name the song and the artist.  The first person to identify the theme gets bonus points!!!

ProgShred correctly identified the theme, folks!  All of the song titles contain the names of bands.  :)

Hi Indy!  :)

Okay....#2 and #26 are correct.  You have the right artists but wrong song title for #10, and #8 is incorrect...

#1 Loverboy - Billy Ocean
#10 Yes, I'm Ready - Barbara Mason
#13 Rush, Rush - Paula Abdul (unfortunately I do know that song!)

Is the theme unrequited love?

Tanya

#20 Breathe Again - Toni Braxton

(sorry, I didn't realize the limit was four)

Greetings, Tanya!  :)

Your answers are all correct, but I've already accepted the artists that IndyGent gave for #10 (you did have the song, so you'll get credit for that).

As for the theme... no, I'm afraid it's not 'unrequited love'.  Keep guessing!  ;)

Hi Karen  :)


#8  Let Me Be There - Olivia Newton-John

#9  Poison Arrow - ABC

#30 Dream Police - Cheap Trick

Hi Karen  :)


#8   Let Me Be There - Olivia Newton-John

Hiya Manda!  Glad you could make it!  :)

#10 and #30 are correct....however, #8 is not the song/artist I was after....

25. Wanted:Dead Or Alive-Bon Jovi

GREAT to see you, Zella!  ;)

BTW, both of those answers are correct!

I'll take a guess at the theme.

Do all of the song titles contain names of other bands?

Hi there CF - I got here late but there's a couple of British artists I recognise:

#6 Steam - Peter Gabriel ... but I don't know a band of that name  :-\\
#14 Cars - Gary Numan 

Steam was the band that had the hit "Na Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)".
