Yes, that's what & who it is. Of course, this tune was covered by Wet Wet Wet and used in the movie "Four Weddings And A Funeral".

You're going for the 70s tunes, Mike..? 8) Both are correct. :)

In Hawaii, a lot of the 'locals' greet each other by saying 'Howzit'... ;D

How fascinating, young Karen! If I ever come across one, I'll try it!  :)

You probably won't follow this at all, but...

'Howzat' is usually heard in cricket, when a bowler will holler it rather loudly at the umpire in the hope of dismissing a batsman...it's a corruption of 'How's that?'

And (appropriately), Sherbet were an Australian band...them Aussies do like to 'rub our noses in it' when it comes to cricket!

I kinda figured those three would be right up your street, Karen! ;)

Ray, Goodman & Brown were also known as the Moments (as in Moments & Whatnauts).

Spot-on with those four, Paul. :)

FYI: "Feel So Real" was also in my very first lyrics quiz on this board (dont know if you remember).
Timi Yuro didn't hit Dutch Top 40 until 1981 with this song, when she made a surprise comeback that was limited to our country.

No. 26 sounds to me like the Byrds' version of "Jesus is Just Alright"

10.  "A Forest" - The Cure
11.  "Cornflake Girl" - Tori Amos
24.  "Yah Mo B There" - James Ingram & Michael McDonald
27.  "Borrowed Love" - S.O.S. Band

#34 must be Jon Anderson singing here but I don't recognise the song!

That's 3.5 correct answers Graham. Unfortunately, you were beaten to #24 by DJ Midas. :(

I've decided it's time to remove the limit.

35 | Hit The Road Jack - ?

29 sounds like it's the Bee Gees

By a Canadian band that I'm sure Jason will know.

It is the Bee Gees. :) It's apparently one of those songs that "nobody" seems to know.  :-\\ I'm hoping for some Aussie to answer this one.

Is it Doctor and the Medics?  That's the only Canadian band other than Rush I know off the top of my head.

No, I'm sorry - that's not it. It's not a very well known band. It's got something to do with cattle on the run.

On this record they teamed up with a legendary deejay.This is the same deejay that's being mentioned in a song (title) by The Guess Who.

Don't know if I'm being helpful, or only adding to the confusion. :-\\

I'll have a wild stab at The Stampeders (of 'Sweet City Woman' fame)

but I got here too late  :\'(

this is a total quess, but #39 sounds like Young MC

Yes...

Thank goodness! ;D

"Hit The Road Jack" was their only chart success in The Netherlands, btw.

Sorry about that Jason... there's not much I can do about it. :-\\

It may sound like Marvin Young, but it's not him.

You're about ten years off. This song's from late 1979, and one of the first rap records to hit the charts.

Does the name Peter Nitollano ring any bells? Or "Sadie (She Smokes)"...? ???

Just in time, Gambo, or else there wouldn't have been anything left at all... :)

The answers to questions #2, 20, 29 and 34 are correct, but the last answer isn't I'm afraid. Still - 3 points with only a few left, an impressive score! 8)

You know, it didn't sound like LLCoolJ but I took a stab.

Maybe the hints that I've added in my first post will help.

With the hints, #6 would be Shakespeare's Sister.  I know which songs it's not, but I don't know what song it is.  I have both of their CDs but they are buried away in boxes  :-[

You'd better dig 'em out then before someone else takes credit... ::)

Sorry, aside from the Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash, I don't rember much rap from that era.  Your hint makes it a person so it isn't the Fat Boys either.

Is #39 Kurtis Blow?

Is #39 Kurtis Blow?


Nope. A good guess tho'. I think his single "Rappin' " was released about the same time this record was.


(FYI: Kurtis Blow's real name is Kurtis Walker)

It's not the Fat Boys either.

Did you know that The Netherlands were the first country in the world to have a rap record top the charts? (Sugarhill Gang of course).
Well, I didn't either. ;D

Is #36 a song by Philip Michael-Thomas?

In which case, I'll go for a 'steal' with...

#36. 'Heartbeat' - Don Johnson

#23- Forecast?

Or: #23- Happy Days"?

Busted! 8)

#23- Forecast?


Correct. :)


Or: #23- Happy Days"?


Also correct. :) Now all that's missing is the additional part in brackets.

As I can't download sound clips to my PC, I'm guessing here...

#6- I Don't Care (Shakespear's Sister)

As I can't download sound clips to my PC, I'm guessing here...

#6- I Don't Care (Shakespear's Sister)


That's not the song I'm looking for. If it's any help, there are other songs by Queen and Tom Robinson & Crew about the same object.

This has been one of my most successfull quizzes to date. Thanks all for playing. :)

Here are the answers you missed:


01: British rockband (Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, Dominic Howard) who also Sing For Absolution.
        Bliss - Muse

06: Artist identified as Shakespears Sister. Now all we need is a title for the song...
        Hello (Turn Your Radio On)

23: The band name is what you get from any weatherman or -woman (a three- to five-day FORECAST). Song is also the title of a popular 70s comedy series (HAPPY DAYS), with an addition in brackets (the usual cheer on a birthday).
        The full title is Happy Days (Hip Hip Hooray)

39: One of the first rap records to hit the charts. Apparently, this singer had no chart success in US, although you might know him from "The Bottle" and "X-Rated Symphony". His real name is Peter Nitollano.
        Rap-O Clap-O - Joe Bataan

This has been one of my most successfull quizzes to date. Thanks all for playing. :)

Fine quiz it was too, Henk...look forward to the next!

You want me to do another Fictitious Forty, or should I move on to letter G...? ???


Sadly, these are all alien to my ears... :-\\


That's not really surprising, considering the fact that neither Forecast nor Joe Bataan charted in UK. For all I know the only country they did chart were The Netherlands...

The other two songs ("Bliss" and "Hello ")  date from 2001 and 1992 respectively, so that may explain why you're not familiar with this tunes.  I know "Bliss" reached #22 in UK, and "Hello" reached #14.
