Subject: Henk's ReRuns (TIME'S UP - FINAL ANSWERS REVEALED)
Written By: FaultyDog on 02/12/06 at 11:33 am
This is not a new quiz. I've just reheated some leftovers from previous quizzes, to give you all one last chance of scoring some points. To keep things surveyable, I've locked the original threads. There's NO LIMIT on this quiz anymore.
For questions 30 to 48 you're even allowed to use Google Search.
Deadline is midnight, February 19.
01 TO 07: CHRISTMAS/WINTER SONGS
01. And I'll come back to this same corner where we met

02. A million candles burning bright
Two rockin' ladies who are trying to get you alone because they're crazy on you.
Here is Christmas - Ann & Nancy Wilson (Windbreaker05 / )

A song about something white falling from the sky. Sorry, no other Cloo on this one...

Nothing much to say about this singer. He seems to be walkin' a lot (to New Orleans, for example)
Zat you Santa Claus - Fats Domino (Windbreaker05 / )
(*) just a reminder: in the original quiz, #42 was:
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ::)
08 - 23: WHEN IT RAINS...(songs with the word RAIN in the title)
08. And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
It all started with a vision of love...

09. I'm in the basement baby, drop on by
This band's in fact a fake medicine.

Hi Henk
#21 Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall - Ella Fitzgerald 8)
You're 100% correct, jaytee! :)

Written By: whistledog on 02/13/06 at 2:34 pm
#19 is (i think) Clean Rain by Vonda Sheppard?
#22 is Nothing Like the Rain by 2 Unlimited
#40 is Boys Town Gang, which still remains the best ever version of that song :)

You're absolutely right on #19 and #22, Jason.
#40 is incorrect, I'm afraid. I'm looking for the Dutch artist(s)/band that did a cover of the song. FYI: I have mentioned them already in one of your threads... ::)
So you did ;D
#40 is Gerard Joling & Tatjana
I could have sworn Boys Town Gang were dutch, or maybe they are from Holland. I can't quite remember

Great idea for a quiz, Henk! Perhaps I should look into doing this if no one answers the last song on my current quiz within the next week or so. But I only run one quiz at a time.
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure on the title for #28, but I know that the artist is Barbara Mason. (The "Yes I'm Ready" hint was a giveaway.) So do I get half credit for knowing who the artist was?

You're almost 100% on these answers, Andrew. The only one that's not 100% is #02. The two ladies are members of Heart alright, but I need their names.
Too bad you can't give me any titles... But I'm sure there's some fans out there waiting for their chance!

No worries, Jeff - you were first to name the artist.
The line I gave for #28 is actually the opening line, so I'm a bit surprised no one seemed to recognize it.
