#5 is Distance Drums but I don't know who it's by

#4 is correct and #5 is close enough...keep thinking on the others!

Hi

These are f'ing hard  :(  :)

# 19  Midnight Train To Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips

#18 Earth Song - Michael Jackson


I thought #15 was Macy Gray - I try as I thought the title was "goodbye and I choke" but nope...



-------------------

Haha I just read #17...

#17 is Caravan of Love - The Housemartins

# 19  Midnight Train To Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips

Correct :)!


These are f'ing hard  :(  :)

Really? It's difficult to judge with these, I thought many of them were too easy!
I'm sure you will recognise more Luke, try thinking about #10 for a while as I know you love this band ;).

#18 Earth Song - Michael Jackson
#17 is Caravan of Love - The Housemartins

Both correct :)!
You're thinking on the right lines with #15 also.

Correct :)!

Nope !  No idea !

However !

# 15  Never Can Say Goodbye - Gloria Gaynor  ;D

#16 Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant

7. Love Hangover ?

Thanks to the clue for number 15 I've got Bl**dy Macy Grey 'I try to say goodbye and I choke' etc going round my head ARRRGGGH.

Hi Graham...more brain squeezing stuff - smashing...!


These are f'ing hard  :(  :)


I concur wholeheartedly, but I think I've got three...

#6. 'Goodbye Sam Hello Samantha' - Cliff Richard

#11. 'Piano In The Dark' - Brenda Russell

#12. 'He's The Greatest Dancer' - Sister Sledge

**Staggers off for a lie-down**

# 15  Never Can Say Goodbye - Gloria Gaynor  ;D

You got it!

Hi maddog !

#2 is Radio Ga Ga - Queen

Good clue  ;)

Er....maybe not...I just noticed it should be 2 words  :P

Hiya Graham  :)

Oh sweetie did I pressure you?? !  :D

#20  Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley

Let me think about the others!

Oh Bum - Paul got Goodbye Sam, Hello Samantha.  Funny how you look at things - the clue for He's The Greatest Dancer you mention Flatley and I kept thinking Elton (as in rugby player!)  ;D which had me thinking about Elton John.

Hello - me again :)

#14  Let's Go All The Way (I have no idea who the artist is :-\\)

#16 Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant

That's right karen!

7. Love Hangover ?

This is the right song title Gis, can you remember who sang it?

#6. 'Goodbye Sam Hello Samantha' - Cliff Richard
#11. 'Piano In The Dark' - Brenda Russell
#12. 'He's The Greatest Dancer' - Sister Sledge

3 for 3 Paul, very good :).


**Staggers off for a lie-down**

Hey, "no pain, no gain" applies to mental exercise too you know.

Hi maddog !
#2 is Radio Ga Ga - Queen

Hi mandamoo - yoooooouuuuu'rrrreeeeee riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhttttttttt!!


Good clue  ;)
Er....maybe not...I just noticed it should be 2 words  :P

I'm not 100% sure about this but my "Guinness Book Of Hit Singles" lists it as "Radio Gaga".

Hiya Graham  :)
Oh sweetie did I pressure you?? !  :D

#20  Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley

#20 is right Janine, v. good.
Technically speaking, I think a bison is a different species from a buffalo, plus you can't wash your hands in a buffalo ;).

No pressure - I enjoy it!

Hi Graham

#20 is "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley and the Wailers

Tao

#20 is "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley and the Wailers

Good to see you on here Rob!

Janine just beat you to it but I'm going to give you half-credit as you correctly included The Wailers, which Janine and I both forgot to do  :-[.

#13 - "Battleship chains" by the Georgia Satellites?

Tao

the clue for He's The Greatest Dancer you mention Flatley and I kept thinking Elton (as in rugby player!)  ;D

LMAO  ;D - just a mental picture I have now of Elton Flatley doing Riverdance!

#14  Let's Go All The Way (I have no idea who the artist is :-\\)

It's the right song, I'll leave the artist open, I think it's a favourite oldie of CF's!

It's the right song, I'll leave the artist open, I think it's a favourite oldie of CF's!

That'll be Sly Fox!

Tao

#13 - "Battleship chains" by the Georgia Satellites?

It's good....but it's not right. Just say what you see, Tao, say what you see.
#13 is probably the worst pun in the quiz, along with #1.

That'll be Sly Fox!

Yep! 

1. American Pie? (pi)-Don McLean

1. American Pie? (pi)-Don McLean

You got it Indy!

It looks like I'm too late to get any of these except for the artist for #7...which is Diana Ross.  :)

#3 - Muscles From A Shell - The Squeeze

It looks like I'm too late to get any of these except for the artist for #7...which is Diana Ross.  :)

Not too late Karen, there are several left, e.g. #13 which I am *sure* you will know if you can get on the wavelength of my bad puns.
Think nautical / bargains, what's the link here?

Diana Ross is correct, of course :).

#3 - Muscles From A Shell - The Squeeze

Haha - good try kairi747, I can see where you're coming from with "pecks" but I think the pectoral muscles are usually abbreviated to "pecs". I was thinking more of pecks....on the cheek.

(BTW #3 is a pretty obscure song, it might have been a UK hit only).

I don't know, Graham...I've looked at the remaining ones several times and nothing is making any sense to me.  :-\\

G'day Graham  :)

#10  Dear Prudence - The Beatles

G'day Graham  :)

#10  Dear Prudence - The Beatles

Well worked out Janine :).

Hi maddog  :)

My guess for #9 is Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones

Hi Graham  :)

#13  Sail On (don't know the artist)

The artist for Distant Drums is Jim Reeves

Hi again Graham...

I'll try one of my legendary wild swipes at...

#3. 'Your Kiss Is Sweet' - Syreeta (?)

MTA: Scrub that...it doesn't read right...!

Hi maddog  :)

My guess for #9 is Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones

That's correct manda, well done :)!
I wasn't completely happy with "airborne precipitation" as a crytic term for a cloud but it's the best I could come up with...

The artist for Distant Drums is Jim Reeves

Yes it is :).


#13  Sail On (don't know the artist)

Correct, very good....anyone care to add the artist?

#3. 'Your Kiss Is Sweet' - Syreeta (?)

MTA: Scrub that...it doesn't read right...!

You're absolutely on the right lines here Paul.
Try thinking a bit Caribbean, from the 90s.

Now, what did I say on another thread about firing stuff post-1989 at me...?!!

Okay, take two...

#3. 'Compliments On Your Kiss' - Red Dragon (and Brian Gold) (?)

How sad that the only thing I seem to be able to do on this quiz is come up with artists...


Anyway, the artist for #13 is The Commodores. :D

#3. 'Compliments On Your Kiss' - Red Dragon (and Brian Gold) (?)

Right !!

My trusty Guinness Book Of Hit Singles says that both Brian  and Tony Gold were featured on this song. Brothers, I guess.

How sad that the only thing I seem to be able to do on this quiz is come up with artists...

Anyway, the artist for #13 is The Commodores. :D

#13 artist is correct CF. The remaining clues are pretty hard, I may have to put more clues in.

Before you do guv'nor, I'll have another guess (flushed by the 'success' of my, ahem! last one...!)

#8. 'Something Inside (So Strong)' - Labi Siffre

Before you do guv'nor, I'll have another guess (flushed by the 'success' of my, ahem! last one...!)

#8. 'Something Inside (So Strong)' - Labi Siffre


To be honest I have never heard of that song but you're most probably correct.  The only thing that kept popping into my head was Ring Of Fire  :D

Before you do guv'nor, I'll have another guess (flushed by the 'success' of my, ahem! last one...!)

#8. 'Something Inside (So Strong)' - Labi Siffre

Paul, I take my hat off to you sir, this is a wonderfully worked out answer to what I thought was a pretty poor clue - excellent work :)!

The only thing that kept popping into my head was Ring Of Fire  :D

Ouch!

To be honest I have never heard of that song 

Looks like it didn't travel well, eh?
Shame - it's a very good song...

The only thing that kept popping into my head was Ring Of Fire  :D


Heh! Toilet rolls in the fridge spring to mind...!!
