does that mean I can try for 2 more?

does that mean I can try for 2 more?



Yep. :)

#51...the title was given, but the artist who turned it into a hit was Marvin Hamlisch!

Now I'm off to see if I can figure any others out...

You're on the score board with that half, Jeff. :)


Now I'm off to see if I can figure any others out...


I'm sure there's more. 8)

Okay, I was able to figure out three of these songs on my own:

#1: "Green Onions" | Booker T and the MG's
#3: "Children" | Robert Miles.
#69: "Love Is Blue" | Paul Mauriat. 8)

23 | Theme to "Hill Street Blues" - ?
35 | Theme to "Exodus" - Ernest Gold
39 | Grazin' In The Grass - Hugh Masekela
41 | Theme to "Hawaii 5-0" - ?
43 | Telstar - The Tornados
62 | Take 5 - Dave Brubeck


This should add up to 5. 

29. 2001- A Space Odyssey- Gyorgy Ligeti

#19 Hocus Pocus - Focus
^^^I love this song  :)

#25 Samba Pa Ti - Santana

#46 El Condor Pasa (If I Could) - Simon & Garfunkel

I only listened to the first 20 because of time constraints

Here's my guesses

#6 Albatross - can't recall artist
#8 Oxygene - Jean Michel Jarre
# 16 Floral Dance - Brighouse and Rastrick Colliery Band

Two more!

24: "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer.
34: "Lilly Was Here" by David A. Stewart. (I figured it had to be on here!)

23 - title already given - mike post

38 - hooked on classics - royal philharmonic

41 - title already given - morton stevens??

48 - theme from mission impossible

65 - dance little bird (the chicken dance) myron floren

this is a cool quiz!  there are a lot of songs i recognize but can't think of the names!  i'll be back to check as the answers come in!!

These are all correct, although you're one artist short on #34. However, by answering these 4.75 you have exceeded the limit by 0.25 (as you had already given half an answer to #51), so I can only give you 5 points in total.

Nearly. I'm looking for another artist (or better: artists) for #35. Other than that, all answers are spot-on. 8)

Hey, I can live with that. ;) I must've forgotten about the limit. For the record, I figured out a few others, but by the time I had posted my answer to #34, I realized it was too late. Sorry!! :-\\

29. 2001- A Space Odyssey- Gyorgy Ligeti


You've got the right movie, but you're wrong on the artist and there's more to the title. I can only give you 0.25 points for that. :-\\


#19 Hocus Pocus - Focus
^^^I love this song  :)

#25 Samba Pa Ti - Santana

#46 El Condor Pasa (If I Could) - Simon & Garfunkel


Two and a half out of three, Mike. :) #46 can't be Simon & Garfunkel, as they're version isn't instrumental. ;)

I only listened to the first 20 because of time constraints

Here's my guesses

#6 Albatross - can't recall artist
#8 Oxygene - Jean Michel Jarre
# 16 Floral Dance - Brighouse and Rastrick Colliery Band


I'm glad you answered #16 before Paul got here! ;D Would you believe it even hit the Top 10 over here?

As for the other two: "Albatross" is the correct title (half a point) but "Oxygen" is only part of the title, so I can't give you full points on that. Jean Michel Jarre made several tracks called "Oxygen", and to distinguish one from another they were numbered. So...which one is this? ???


23 - title already given - mike post
38 - hooked on classics - royal philharmonic
41 - title already given - morton stevens??
48 - theme from mission impossible
65 - dance little bird (the chicken dance) myron floren

Your answers to numbers 23, 38 and 48 are correct, which makes a total of 2 points. I can't give you #65, although we're talking about the same song. It has been performed by dozens of artists (with variations on the title); this version was particularly popular in UK.

Hi Henk...good stuff, as ever...

#4. 'The Horse' - Cliff Nobles & Co.

#6. artist is Fleetwood Mac (and amazingly, their only British #1)

#8. the 'part' is Part Four (or IV, if you're that way inclined!)

#9. 'Java' - Al Hirt

#11. 'Poor People Of Paris' - Les Baxter & His Orchestra
Better known over here in a version by Winifred Atwell, knocking the stuffing out of a piano...

#13. 'Groovin' With Mr. Bloe' - er...Mr. Bloe
Mr. Bloe was a guy called Harry Pitch, a famous British jazz harmonica player...so famous that even I've never heard of him...)

I'm glad you answered #16 before Paul got here! ;D Would you believe it even hit the Top 10 over here?


Quite stirring stuff too...very nearly hit #1 here during Christmas 1977 (it clung to #2 for six weeks, but couldn't get past Wings 'Mull Of Kintyre'...shame!)

It must be the only folk song from Cornwall to have charted anywhere!

#9 Taste of Honey-Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass Band
#18 Theme from Banaza (don't know who did it)
#41 (Hawaii 5-O which was already given) The Vanturas

First of all: all answers are correct. :) Harry Pitch is also known as Zack Lawrence, but I'm not sure if that's any help.

Don't know about that, but you could very well be right. Coincidentally, both Mr. Bloe and the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band were one hit wonders, and both hit #7 spot in Dutch Top 40.

#9 Taste of Honey-Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass Band
#18 Theme from Banaza (don't know who did it)
#41 (Hawaii 5-O which was already given) The Vanturas

Cat


You got two halves, Cat. #9 was already answered Paul, and it wasn't Taste Of Honey. :( I can give you credit for getting "Bonanza" and The Ventures right, though. :)

Coincidentally, both Mr. Bloe and the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band were one hit wonders, and both hit #7 spot in Dutch Top 40.


And rather unsurprisingly, that's what they were here...both in runner-up spot!

Hi Henk, great quiz, I haven't listened to all the available ones yet but
#30 sounds like the Theme to Kill Bill, so,\

#30...Theme To Kill Bill?

#53...Fanfare For The Common Man....Originally by Aaron Copeland but this particular version
        is by Emerson Lake & Palmer.

As for the other two: "Albatross" is the correct title (half a point) but "Oxygen" is only part of the title, so I can't give you full points on that. Jean Michel Jarre made several tracks called "Oxygen", and to distinguish one from another they were numbered. So...which one is this? ???



I knew you would want to know which part and I had no idea.




#8. the 'part' is Part Four (or IV, if you're that way inclined!)




I also knew that Paul would know the answer.

Hi Henk  :)


#26  Music to Watch Girls By ???

#42  Song for Guy - Elton John

#55  sounds like Zorba the Greek  :-\\

Hi Henk, great quiz, I haven't listened to all the available ones yet but

Well... it is a theme, but not to "Kill Bill". :(

I can give you two points for those, Amanda. :) #55 is also known as "Zorba's Dance".

Frustrating, innit? You know the tune, but you don't know the title...and it's the more frustrating because you can't do a lyrics search! In fact, I could have made this quiz even bigger... if I only could remember the title to some tunes I have in my head... :-\\

That's right! :) Now do you know the correct title...? ???

Five for five, Graham! 8) "Tubular Bells" is simply know as that - it's the "Oxygene", "Equinoxe" and "Magnetic Fields" tunes that are numbered.

It's from the ING Direct advert.

I asked about it here ages ago and Bobby told me it was

A Swingin Safari By Bert Kaempfert


I'll take Bert Kaempfert (I think his version is the better known in Europe), although there was another artist who scored a bigger hit with this tune.


44. Joy by Apollo 100


Another classic tune turned into a pop hit. Good spot! :)

50.  "Sandstorm" - Darude

The other artist on 34 is Candy Dulfer

What, no "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" by Pigbag?  :D

50.  "Sandstorm" - Darude

The Birdie Song it is! :)

21 is so familiar, but I cannot place it  :-\\

48 | Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr

29. 2001- A Space Odyssey- Gyorgy Ligeti


Would it be "Theme from " 2001: A Space Odyssey ? :P  Still not sure of the artist other than the one I have listed on this cd..

Hi Henk

There's only one other instrumental I'm sure about, that's the pan pipes of

#30 Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto - Manuel and his Music of the Mountains

I've a few other half-guesses and long shots....

#2  The song sounds like Bobby Goldsboro's "Summer (The First Time)" but I don't know which artist did an instrumental version
#37 This is a real shot in the dark...the piano sound on this sounds like Lieutenant Pigeon but I don't know the song at all
#44 There is something at the back of my mind saying Status Quo on this one ???

Hi again, Henk...I'm taking a few stabs in the dark with these...

#17. 'Doina De Jale (Light Of Experience)' - Georghe Zamfir
#27. 'Il Silenzio' - Nini Rosso
#36. 'Et Les Oiseaux Chantaient (And The Birds Were Singing)' - Sweet People
#63. 'Desafinado' - Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd
#66. 'Because They're Young' - Duane Eddy

21 is so familiar, but I cannot place it  :-\\

48 | Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr


#21 is a tune by Danish producer Martin Sig, if that's any help. :-\\

#48 is indeed by these two U2 guys. :)

Would it be "Theme from " 2001: A Space Odyssey ? :P   Still not sure of the artist other than the one I have listed on this cd..


Now that would be nitpicking, wouldn't it? ;) I'm looking for the name of a Brazilian producer, who worked with various artists (like Kool & the Gang) in the 70s and 80s. And the title is a true "classic"... ::)

#17. 'Doina De Jale (Light Of Experience)' - Georghe Zamfir


I've no idea how to pronounce it, but it is correct. :)


#27. 'Il Silenzio' - Nini Rosso
#36. 'Et Les Oiseaux Chantaient (And The Birds Were Singing)' - Sweet People
#63. 'Desafinado' - Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd
#66. 'Because They're Young' - Duane Eddy



...and so are these four! 8) You're doing a great job with those stabs, Paul. ;)

Is #2 George Zamfir?

#17 (Light Of Experience) Doina De Jale ~ Georghe Zamfir

#29 Thus Spake Zarathustra ~ Philharmonia Orchestra, Conductor Lorin Maazel

#35 played by Ferrante And Teicher

#40 is Wendy or Walter Carlos, the tune was used in A Clockwork Orange

Is #2 George Zamfir?


Mr Zamfir is in this quiz twice, but he's not performing #2.


#17 (Light Of Experience) Doina De Jale ~ Georghe Zamfir


That's one of the two - but Paul beat you to it. :(


#29 Thus Spake Zarathustra ~ Philharmonia Orchestra, Conductor Lorin Maazel


I can give you 0.25 points for getting the title (although it's actually spelled in German).  :) Still looking for the artist, though....


#35 played by Ferrante And Teicher


Those guys wore awful glasses, but I don't think they really cared. ;) Another 0.50 points for you.


#40 is Wendy or Walter Carlos, the tune was used in A Clockwork Orange


Correct on the title, but I've used a different version (by a German band whose name is somehow closely connected to...oranges).

Hey Henk, I knew #30 was from Kill Bill, is the German bandleader Bernard Herrmann? and
is the other artist in your quiz Al Hirt? I know these two were on the soundtrack but I
still can't name the song.  >: :(

I couldn't tell. :-\\

#40 performed by Tangerine Dream

OK henk, I'm am getting off the Kill Bill thing for awhile. Jump ahead to #46.

#46...El Condor Pasa (If I Could)....I don't know the artist your looking for. This song
was also used as a theme song for the made for TV movie " Voyage Of The Yes" in the
mid 1970's

#55 performed by Marcello Minerbi

#40 performed by Tangerine Dream



#55 performed by Marcello Minerbi


Both are correct, Philip. :) The original Greek artist for #55 is Mikis Theodorakis, but like I said - his version didn't make it across the pond.

The song title had already been guessed... :-\\ I don't think I've ever seen the "Voyage Of The Yes", and I'm not giving any bonus points for that. Sorry, Kevin... :(

A guess on #60 .. Is it Orbital?  I know they did the theme to the 1997 movie "The Saint"

The rest are familiar and one of them we have had before.

A guess on #60 .. Is it Orbital?  I know they did the theme to the 1997 movie "The Saint"


Yes, it is Orbital! :) This tune just missed the UK Top 10 in 1996. It didn't chart in US or The Netherlands, but I happen to like it.

The rest are familiar and one of them we have had before.

A lot of these tunes have been used by (pirate) radio stations in the 1960s and 1970s (it's one of the reasons I picked them), but I'm still not sure what you mean. Which track are you talking about?

Ah. I see. So you know the tune, but you don't know what it's called...? The tune's about a person of the male gender who dislikes loafing about. He is not content to just talk.

Does the title contain the word Silent?

No. It's a three word title, I can give you that.

Bumping this one, just in case... :-\\

Bumping this one, just in case... :-\\
I am still trying to remember that title.

Looks like no-one knows the remaining ones, so I'm revealing the answers...


02. From the movie "Un linceuil n'a pas des poches" (A Shroud Has No Pockets). This was a hit in most European countries, South America and Japan, but not in UK and US. It peaked at #3 in Dutch Top 40.
        Dolannes Melody - Paul de Senneville & Olivier Toussaint feat. Jean-Claude Borelly

05. Artist (co)wrote songs like "Delilah" and "It's Not Unusual" (for Tom Jones) and "There's A Kind Of Hush" (for Herman's Hermits). This tune was composed specifically for Radio Nordsee International. Didn't chart in UK or US, but hit #7 in The Netherlands.
        Man Of Action - Les Reed Orchestra

14. The only hint I can give you is that this is the only version of the tune without words. The artist has no chart history in UK or US.
        Casatschok - Dimitri Dourakine & his Orchestra

18. Artist shares his first name with Mr Bundy. Last name somewhat sounds like crayons.
        - Al Caiola

21. A tribute to a racing legend, who retired earlier this season. Think Ferrari.
        Formula 1 (The Schumacher Song) - DJ Visage

26. The artist also recorded "Barbarella" for the 1968 film of the same name, and co-wrote "Sherry" (Four Seasons), "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (Frankie Valli) and "Lady Marmalade" (Patti LaBelle).
        - The Bob Crewe Generation

29. The artist is a Brazilian producer who also recorded "Happy Hour" and "SOS Fire In The Sky".
        - Deodato

30. This tune was also used for the soundtrack of "Kill Bill" (vol.1). One artist is already in this quiz, the other is a German band leader who had a #28 hit in US with "The Seduction (Love Theme)".
        Lonely Shepherd (Einsamer Hirte) - Georghe Zamfir & James Last

31. Actually a Neil Diamond song, performed by an artist whose Orchestra is already in this quiz.
        Crunchy Granola Suite - Percy Faith (my personal favourite of this quiz...)

37. His real name is Jimmy Wisner. There's a 1980s Beach Boys song with a title like the artists name. Song title refers to the classic tune that's been used and contains the name of a continent.
        Asia Minor - Kokomo

46. The original version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic. These musicians (named after ancient inhabitants of parts of Southern America) actually backed the duo in their rendition.
        - Los Incas

47. The theme to a 1971/1972 tv series, starring Glenn Ford as the "tough but sensitive sheriff of Madrid County".
        Cade's County - Henry Mancini

49. An Indian-esque instrumental by a studio group assembled by Bernie Binnick. The follow-up (a cover version of "Land of a Thousand Dances") was far less successful. Most of the members later joined MFSB.
        Keem-O-Sabe - Electric Indian

57. Artist is probably best known as a producer for Buddy Holly. This tune didn't chart in UK or US, but he had hits with "Mood Indigo" and "Almost Paradise".
        Little Black Samba - Norman Petty Trio

58. "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" was a UK and US #1 for which American band leader?
        Hugo Montenegro

60. This tune by Orbital is about a container, usually with a lid, used for holding solids.
        The Box

Of course! #29 is Deodato, I should have known.


Now you also (finally) know #5.... ;)



Great quiz.


Thanks. :) I had hoped to get just a few more questions answered, though... :\'(

Now you also (finally) know #5.... ;)
Yes, that tune haunts me, I remember from my youth, listening to the pirate stations on my transistor radio, in my darken bedroom late at night, when I should had been sleeping.
