#14. 'This Old House' - Shakin' Stevens

Hi Gis! :)
Is #18 'High Enough' by the Damn Yankees? ???
If so, then the lyric should be..."Can't you see I'm in misery"

Written By: whistledog on 03/21/06 at 3:01 pm
A great quiz!
#3 - Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey
#7 - Chain Reaction by Diana Ross. This was written by The Bee Gees. You can even hear Barry on backing vocals. Steps did a good version of it in 2001
I also knew #15, but Paul beat me to it before I could rely fast enough :\'(

I think you are correct on #20, which in case the artist is Tight Fit. I never would have recognized that one by the lyrics alone

11. "99 Redballoons" by Nena. (the English version of "99 Luftballoons", although I suppose either one'll do)
