Since it takes me a while to download them, I figured I better ring in with the answers I know before someone beats me to it.

#12 is Maneater-Hall & Oats.

Bonus is Land of a 1000 Dances but I don't know who did it.

Another excellent quiz of course!

So I think:

BONUS: Land of 1000 Dances - Wilson Pickett (at least I think - the na na na na is what is making me think so)

19. Rave On - John Cougar (Cocktail Soundtrack Baby!!)

20. Diamond Sun - Glass Tiger

guess thats 3 but I think the bonus is wrong.....

19 and 20 are correct :)

Cat beat you to the title of the bonus.  The original was by Wilson Pickett, but this one would be a cover version by an unexpected bunch of singers ;)

That was the trick, but the even tricker part was #15.  So not to reveal too much about it, I can only say that your guess is incorrect, but it was a good try :)

You did get #9 and #16 correct :)

How can #15 be wrong when it's the same song as #16?  The clips are even the same part of the song.  I know my oldies, and that is definitely Needles and Pins.

It is Needles and Pins yes, but the name of the song in #15 isn't Needles and Pins ;)

Hi Jason

#10 club Tropicana - Wham!
#30 I believe the artist is Wilson Pickett, sadly recently deceased :(

My guess on #15 is that although it sounds a lot like the Searchers, it is actually part of one of those 80s compilation tracks of oldies - Stars on 45?

#2 is also very familiar but the rest of the tune just won't come to me....

#10 is correct.  The original artist of #30 is Wilson Pickett, but the clip in #30 is a cover song, so it's not Mr. Pickett.  Good try though :)

#15 is not Stars on 45, but you are very close ;)

All correct Paul :)

I never know which part of Tight Fit either, so I usually just don't include the parts as for North American release, both parts were jumbled into 1



Lovin No Limit

1. Before I Go - Starship

29. Romancing the Stone - Eddy Grant

17. Angel in my Pocket - One to One?




#17 is incorrect, but a good guess though

#1 is correct, and I can only give you ½ points for #29 cause Paul beat you to the artist.  lol
