#18 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)

Hi Graham!  :)

#20 is "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste Of Honey.

#18 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)

Correct karen, and it's by.....???? (I'm sure you know this)

Hi Graham!  :)

#20 is "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste Of Honey.

That is correct Karen!

9. Groovin' - the Rascals (or were they still "Young" then?)

Hello Graham

Could #3 be Funky town by Lipps Inc. ???

Don't recognize the other ones.. :-\\

9. Groovin' - the Rascals (or were they still "Young" then?)

Correctamundo Gaylon! According to my Guinness Book of British Hit Singles, they were indeed the Young Rascals at that time.

Hello Graham

Could #3 be Funky town by Lipps Inc. ???

Don't recognize the other ones.. :-\\

Also correct Henk, I would also have accepted the (pretty much identical) cover version my Psedo Echo.
There are some really well known songs in here, I'm sure you guys know more if you look closely.

Hi Graham...nice to see you setting 'em up again...

#7. 'Yes Sir I Can Boogie' - Baccara
#8. (The mighty) 'Funky Gibbon' - Goodies*
#12. 'Honaloochie Boogie' - Mott The Hoople

I would have a guess about the theme - it looks pretty obvious, but knowing you, it can't be that simple!

So I'll hold it for a while!

(* I always thought that lyric was 'like a bee in a rage', but I've only got a crappy bit of vinyl!)

Boy these are tough.

But I only know one for now: #5, "Too Funky" by George Michael.

All correct Paul, I knew I could rely on you!
As for the theme, it's not very obsure, it's just a silly title for a quiz that came to me....two adjectives and a dance, basically.

(* I always thought that lyric was 'like a bee in a rage', but I've only got a crappy bit of vinyl!)

You could well be right, that one was from my memory and I can't find it on iTunes to have a listen.

Boy these are tough.

But I only know one for now: #5, "Too Funky" by George Michael.

#5 is correct Jeff, and there are honestly some not-very-tough ones still to bag - #1, #4 and #11 are all very well known songs, if a little old (like me).

You're right about #11; I'm just now reading it, and I know what it is: "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry! :D

There ya go!

This is the song that started me compiling this quiz. On holiday recently we kept walking past an amusement arcade (slot machines, video games etc) where one of the machines kept playing the guitar riff from this song. It was starting to grate on my nerves a bit after hearing it twice a day for a week, heaven knows what it did to the mental welfare of the employees working there who must have heard it hundreds of times a day!

15. Groovy Kind of Love by the Mindbenders (?)

That's right!

Hiya Graham  :)

#19  Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry

Sorry Janine, nally beat you to that one  :(.


Look it's morning here  :D 

#19  Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy - Andrews Sisters/Bette Midler

16. Tube Snake Boogie-ZZ Top

OK, I don't recognize any lyrics yet, but I'm taking a shot or two at the theme:
It's gotta be either 70's slang, or in the immortal words of Ren McCormick: LET'S DANCE!
Am I even close?

Your Pal,
Doc

Hi Doc - you're on the right lines but it's not what I was looking for.
I suppose it's a little tricky but all the titles have one of three words in them, two adjectives and one dance.

Correct karen, and it's by.....???? (I'm sure you know this)


I'm sure I typed that in.  spooky

it's by Simon and Garfunkel

The theme should be getting clearer now - I'm looking for two adjectives and a dance style to make "Maddog's F_______ G______ B_______ Quiz"



Funky Groovy Boogie

I think Paul Simon wrote the 59th Street Bridge Song but it was a hit for Harper's Bizarre

Funky Groovy Boogie

That's it!

I'm sure I typed that in.  spooky

it's by Simon and Garfunkel

That's what I was looking for :)

I think Paul Simon wrote the 59th Street Bridge Song but it was a hit for Harper's Bizarre

I've not heard that version of the song Gaylon, I'm going to stick with Simon & Garfunkel as the artist.

#4-blame it on the boogie....the jackson 5

#14- boogie on ragae woman...stevie wonder

#4-blame it on the boogie....the jackson 5

#14- boogie on ragae woman...stevie wonder

Both correct loki !

Hi maddog  :)

#10  Boogie Shoes - KC and the Sunshine Band

#13 Rock With You - Michael Jackson

Hi maddog  :)

#10  Boogie Shoes - KC and the Sunshine Band

That's correct mooster (when did you become "mooster" by the way!?)

#13 Rock With You - Michael Jackson

That's not correct I'm afraid Tanya, I'm looking for song titles containing the words "funky", "groovy" or "boogie".
In the case of #13, the song title is a slight variation on "funky".

That's correct mooster (when did you become "mooster" by the way!?)


Sorry....I'd forgotten who I've told...just recently, as I wanted a change from the 'too cutesy for a 40 something year old' nickname  ;D

17.Boogie Nights-Heatwave
