Hi Criz
My 16 year old daughter answered this one ... she thought it was Flashdance by Deep Dish ??? She's gone off to school now so I'll have to wait til 4 o'clock. I suppose I could ring her :D

She's actually semi-right. Flashdance by Deepdish is the cover/sample - the original is off the Flashdance soundtrack! I guess that's why Deepdish called it 'Flashdance'.

Let me try this...from your clues I gather the following:
The artist for #4 has to be Natalie Imbruglia. Lyrics lead me to believe that it could be Wishing I Was There. ???
The artist for #13 is Joe Jackson (don't know what song, though)
The artist for #15 is Oasis (another blank on the song)
Let's hope I got some of them right... :-\\
Modified to remove some really stupid answers( :- Idlewild, but it's by a Dutch band called Here's Johnny. You can't possibly be referring to that, can you...? :-\\

Your're right on the artists...but wrong on the 'Idlewild' as being the song title, although you're one step closer - is that makes sense!! So nope, not a fan of the Dutch band!!

I know this is very old thread, and there are still some unanswered items on here, so I thought I'd try to answer one. And a lot of these are lines that I don't hardly know at all. But there is one that jumps out at me..
31 - "They" by Jem.
No clue on the others, although some of the "hints" that you give are for the performer names...

Thanks for updating with my answer. I am still stumped on the remaining ones, although I could probably figure out the bands/artists for some of them (just not the song).

Funny to see me as a guest back in 2005.... I'd nearly forgotten about deleting my account - only to return the next day (under my real name)! ;D ::)
So I had another try, and concluded that #13 is It's Different For Girls - Joe Jackson.
I know the title for #3 - He's A Dream, but I have no clue on the artist. And googling would be cheating. :(
All of the others... I really am stumped.
