Thank you Amanda! :)

I don't really mind you left out the St. Thomas More School Choir on #4, but you haven't mentioned the Dutch artist on #7 (yet)... so I can only give you partial credit for that one.

#5. The Smurf Song ~ The Smurfs
#8. I See A Star ~ Mouth & Macneal
#13. Una Paloma Blanca ~ Jonathan King
#16. Hocus Pocus ~ Focus


The only one that's 100% correct is #8. As for the others: there's a Dutch artist missing in #5, Jonathan King is not the original artist for #13 (not to mention he's not Dutch), and #16 is Focus, but with another song. So in all, you got 2.5 points.

Thanks! :)

28. Radar Love - Golden Earring

I was suprised to see that one. I thought you would do either Ce Soir or Candy's Goin' Bad to make it a little more difficult... :o

38. Ma Belle Amie - Tee Set

Two correct answers, Zella! :)

I guess I could've gone for a more obscure song, but... I want this quiz to be finished. ;) Still not sure if that's going to happen, though.

Correct, correct and correct. 8)
Thank you, great quiz and a happy aniversary.

It might happen.  Let's just say I am anxiously awaiting the removal of the limit ;D

Hi Henk...and happy anniversary!

Fine stuff...

#8. 'I See A Star' - Mouth & McNeal
(Your Eurovision entry from 1974, which did well, but not as well as...)

#18. 'Ding-A-Dong' - Teach-In
(...from the following year and the eventual winner!)

#27. 'I Remember Elvis Presley' - Danny Mirror (who actually pulled off a very good impersonation of that Elvis fella!)

#35. 'The Caribbean Disco Show' - Lobo (not the 'Dog Named Boo' guy, but a Harry Belafonte impersonator!)

I knew I could count on you for those, Paul!  :) Unfortunately, #8 was already taken by Philip Eno (my mistake... :-Eddy Ouwens, and the Dutch Lobo's full name is Imrich Lobo.

32. Burning Heart by Vandenberg (Great Song!)

I knew I could count on you for those, Paul!  :) Unfortunately, #8 was already taken by Philip Eno (my mistake... :-[), so if you care to have another go...? I'm guessing #22 is one of your all time favourites.. ::)

Ahem! Another 'secret' divulged!

Of course, the song I know, but I'll have to do a bit of research into who the artist is...

In the meantime, have another favourite of mine...

#14. 'Say Yeah' - The Limit (Ah! Many happy memories of that one!)

Hi there Henk, congrats on the one year milestone :).

#7 I think the Dutch lady sax player was Candy Dulfer?

#22 is "The Birdie Song", this was a UK hit for The Tweets but I suspect the same song may have been a hit for a different group in the Netherlands?

#40 is "Mississippi" by Pussycat, a No.1 hit here in the UK in the 1970s but the band were never heard of again, at least not over here.

#43 is really familiar but I can't place it, I'm sure I will kick myself for this one...

The other Dutch artist that I remember from the 80s is the girl vocal band Mai Tai but I didn't spot them on the quiz, unless I missed them!?

32. Burning Heart by Vandenberg (Great Song!)




Right on both accounts, ProgShred! ;)

#14. 'Say Yeah' - The Limit (Ah! Many happy memories of that one!)


I was surprised to find out this was a #17 hit in UK. It only made it to #34 in Dutch Top 40. :o

Hi there Henk, congrats on the one year milestone :).


Thank you Graham! :)


#7 I think the Dutch lady sax player was Candy Dulfer?


You're right in thinking so.


#22 is "The Birdie Song", this was a UK hit for The Tweets but I suspect the same song may have been a hit for a different group in the Netherlands?


You're on the right track, but to distinguish this tune from all the others it has a different title. And there should be a different artist too, of course, so I can't give you any credit for this one.


#40 is "Mississippi" by Pussycat, a No.1 hit here in the UK in the 1970s but the band were never heard of again, at least not over here.


"Mississippi" was the first ever Dutch #1 in UK Top 40. Pussycat went on to score a string of hits in the Netherlands, including seven more Top 10-hits, before splitting up in the mid-1980s.


#43 is really familiar but I can't place it, I'm sure I will kick myself for this one...


What can I say...? It involves a platform and a countdown. ;)

:-X ::)

Is it known as The Chicken Dance?

Is it known as The Chicken Dance?


Nope, but it is a three word title ending with "Dance".

:-X ::)

Well if Mai Tai are in there somewhere then my guess is at #17, purely because it sounds like an 80s girl band but I don't recognise the song!

You're right in thinking #17 is an 80s girl band, but it's not Mai Tai. Sorry. :-\\

Another day over and no replies... :-\\

I don't wanna remove the limit yet, with over half of the questions left unanswered, but it doesn't seem like there's any more takers.

I am anxiously awaiting the removal of the limit.  There's a whole handful left I still recognize 8)

Shame on you! You oughta know #23...if I remember correctly you once stated you "loved the whole album".
And I think you should've recognized #27,  #9 and #1 as well... ::)

Apart from that, you've 6.5 correct answers. The Alice Deejay song is not "Will I Ever".


I'd better take a second listen ...

As for that Alice Deejay song, it must be Back in My Life.  I always get their songs confused.  They do sound alike in some ways.  lol

Oh, and here's some chart facts for some of the ones that have been answered ...

Burning Heart - Vandenberg
Lily Was Here - David A. Stewart / Candy Dulfer

:)

23 | Mad'House.  Sounds like 'Like A Prayer', but I am not quite sure.  I can't find my copy of the CD to listen  :(

1 | 4 Strings, I believe.  I always get their songs mixed up, so I am going to guess 'Diving'?

27 and 9 sound so very familiar.  I know them, but I Can't think ARGHHHH  Is 27 a 2 Unlimited song?
