G'day Indy  :)

#19 is correct.  Nice try with Joan but alas it isn't :)  You're on the right track the word "weak" is correct.  I almost used "The Weakness In Me",  it being one of my fave songs but I thought of another song.

Hello there Janine, excellent idea for a quiz.

#20 is "Don't You Want Me" - Human league

got it, got it, just after I hit "Post"....

#3 is "Beautiful" - Christina Aguilera

13. She's So High-Tal Bachman

#24. Last Song-Edward Bear (I love that song)





Cat

Finally, I think I got it!

Since #17 is Power of Love, then #18 may be Weak in the Presence of Beauty by Allison Moyet? It's a long shot, but I'm taking a guess.

Hi tuontuin - nice to see you joining in  :)

Both those answers are correct.

Hi jaytee

I just worked out #25 from the extra lyrics and the answer to #26, it's "Little Arrows" by Leapy Lee, a big favourite on Ed Stewart's "Junior Choice" BBC radio show when I was a nipper.

Hi Graham - you got it.  I loved that song when I was a little girl :)  I saw Leapy Lee on TV a while back - he was running a resort in Spain and still performing  :o

Hi Janine...

Like Graham, I've found the extra lyrics a big help...!

#11. 'Stop' - Sam Brown (great singer, should've had much more success...)

Hi Paul - that's correct!  I love that song.  It was her only big hit in Australia.  Another song "Can I Get A Witness" got a bit of airplay here.  I remember the video because it had Reg Hollis from "The Bill" in the dock.  I looked at the Sam Brown website and she is co-writing and performing with Jools Holland.  Interesting stuff.

Heh! I remember that...

I looked at the Sam Brown website and she is co-writing and performing with Jools Holland.  Interesting stuff.

Sounds like it - although her solo career never really took off, she's always in heavy demand as a session backup vocalist and still performs from time to time with her Dad, Joe...

My guess for 4 is "Ugly" by Bubba Sparxxx.

My guess for 4 is "Ugly" by Bubba Sparxxx.


Sorry Indy -  that is not the one I'm looking for although the name of the song is the same.  Can't say that I've ever heard of Bubba Sparxxx.  :-\\

#4 must be Ugly (or You're Ugly), but I can't think an artist.

Song title is actually U.G.L.Y. performed by two girls (initials D & C) ick .. just realised how "off" that sounds!

Ugh, Daphne and Celeste?

Yep  :P  We camp every year in September with a huge group of friends.  The kids always put on a concert and some of them decided to sing this song!  We had to listen to them rehearse it over and over and over ....  my ears were bleeding by the end.
