Initial limit = Three (3) excluding the bonus questions (no limit for these)

Hi Andrew   :)

Is No. 2 TAKE THAT - 'Could it be Magic' (D Summer/B, Manilow)

No 3. THE PET SHOP BOYS - 'Where the Streets' Have No Name'   (U2)

No 23.  BRONSKI BEAT - 'Don't Leave Me This Way.'  (Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes/Thelma Houston)




I'd do more but the clips take an age to download on my pc

Hi there  :)

#1  I Only Want To Be Wtih You - Bay City Rollers (originally, Dusty Springfield)

Though I recognize most of the songs in this quiz, I have trouble naming the artists... :-\\

And I see the ones I knew are already taken, though I'd like to point out that #3 is actually a double cover version. Pet Shop Boys combined Where The Streets Have No Name with Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

Almost perfect! #23 is by a different group with the same lead singer

Hi there  :)

#1  I Only Want To Be Wtih You - Bay City Rollers (originally, Dusty Springfield)

That is correct!

Kudos on #3, it is indeed. You're welcome to go through and get half credit for some titles if you'd like.

#7 It Ain't Me, Babe ~ Johnny Cash and June Carter and it sounds like the original as for #21.

#7 It Ain't Me, Babe ~ Johnny Cash and June Carter and it sounds like the original as for #21.


#7 is correct!  :) That's not #21, though. Bob Dylan released his in 1964. Cash and Carter came out with theirs slightly later that year.

#20 I (Who Have Nothing) ~ Tom Jones, original by Shirley Bassey

#20 I (Who Have Nothing) ~ Tom Jones

Almost perfect! #23 is by a different group with the same lead singer

Correct! Beautiful, isn't it?

Hello  :)

$16   Unchained Melody (originally Righteous Bros.)
#17  Little Green Apples
#19  Norwegian Wood (originally Beatles)

#24 The original singer must Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes.

#13 is by Rex Smith / Rachel Sweet

This is strictly a guess ...

#6 is by Jackie DeShannon which leads me to ...

#21 - Bette Davis Eyes (as heard in #6) was originally written and sung by Jackie DeShannon in the mid 70's.  Kim Carnes made it famous in 1981

8. Roll Over, Beethoven - Electric Light Orchestra (originally Chuck Berry, also covered by the Beatles)
10. But You Know I Love you - Dolly Parton (Kenny Rogers also did it)

5. Will you still love me tomorrow?  ??? The Shirelles
