Quite a few sound familiar, how about

#38...Brother Louie?

#43...Barbie Girl? (I think that's the name)

20 | Rhythm of the Rain

Three out of four, Beth. :) I'm afraid #11 is incorrect. :(

Hi Henk - this was fun  :)


#16  They're Coming to Take Me Away (Ha-haaa !)

#30  Save Your Love

#32  In the Navy

#35  Alone Again (Naturally)

Excellent work Henk, I enjoyed this too!

#3  Ghost Riders In The Sky
#4  Y Viva Espana!
#7  Deck Of Cards (sure I can hear something about the "Ace" and the "Three" in there!)
#12 My Way

Thanks Amanda! :) I'm glad you like it.

Your answers are all spot-on. FYI: #16 was covered twice, and that's why I included two clippings.

Excellent work Henk, I enjoyed this too!


Thanks Graham! :) It's too bad I could only find 46 songs to fit the theme, else I'd consider making a second quiz.


#3  Ghost Riders In The Sky
#4  Y Viva Espana!
#7  Deck Of Cards (sure I can hear something about the "Ace" and the "Three" in there!)
#12 My Way


I'm sorry to tell you that #12 was already answered, and #3 is incorrect. But the other two are spot-on. 8)

Ah shoot....but if I can have another two guesses, here goes....

#14 is unmistakably a Johnny Cash song, even in Dutch - Man in Black
#31 sounds like the old reggae track by Dillinger - Cokane in my Brain. It sounds like the part where it goes "a knife, a fork, a bottle and a cork", but in Dutch of course.

You're absolutely right about Johnny Cash, but this is not the right song. :(

Right on! ;D

#3 Johnny Remember Me
#34 Football Crazy
#36 Love of the Common People
#42 Yellow Submarine

Hi Henk...interesting concept and not as easy as they sound, but I'll try four...

#6. 'When You Tell Me That You Love Me' - Diana Ross
#18. 'The Universal Soldier' - Buffy Sainte-Marie (or Donovan)
#28. 'I Can't Stop Loving You' - Don Gibson (or Ray Charles)
#34. 'Gimme Hope Jo'anna' - Eddy Grant

#34 Football Crazy

Hello Philip. :) You've got three out of four. #34 is not Football Crazy (see also next post).

These four are all correct, Paul. 8) And I'm glad it turns out to be a little harder than I expected. ;)

Hiya Henk!  :)

Think I've got three...

9. She Believes In Me - Kenny Rogers
11. Driving My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt
41. Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group

Hi Karen! :)

I'm pleased to say these three are correct.  8)

Ok...here are my guesses!

#2 - Eres Tu - Abba
#14 - Cry, Cry, Cry - Johnny Cash
#29 - Stan - Eminem

Ok...here are my guesses!

#2 - Eres Tu - Abba
#14 - Cry, Cry, Cry - Johnny Cash
#29 - Stan - Eminem


Hi Ashley! :) Glad you could make it.

#14 and 29 are all correct, and #2 is partially correct. It's an Abba song alright, but this is not the title I had in mind. :(

You're absolutely right about Johnny Cash, but this is not the right song. :(


I'm not doing too well here and I can't really make a guess at what the Dutch lyrics are all about....however I'll make another guess, is it "San Quentin"?

P.S. That Dillinger song at #31 was a favourite at a nightclub I used to go to regularly back in the 80s - happy memories, thanks Henk, I'd not thought about this song for years!

And another one busted! ;) Perhaps not one of his best known songs, but you've nailed it.

Always a pleasure to bring back happy memories! :)

01. "Suzanne" by (fellow Montrealer) Leonard Cohen
39. "Agadou" by Patrick Zabe

39. "Agadou" by Patrick Zabe



Well I thought #39 might be  The Chicken Song - Spittin' Image but maybe it's because it sounds a lot like Agadoo!  (Though I know the Black Lace version)

#45 A Little Peace - Nicole (Eurovision winner)

01. "Suzanne" by (fellow Montrealer) Leonard Cohen
39. "Agadou" by Patrick Zabe



You're spot-on, Gambo! 8) Patrick Zabe was indeed the first to record "Agadou". He was followed by the Saragossa Band (1981) and Black Lace (1984).

"The Chicken Song" was in fact inspired by/a parody of "Agadou", so it's no surprise the two sound alike.


#45 A Little Peace - Nicole (Eurovision winner)


Bravo! :) I think Nicole was a one hit wonder in UK, but she did hit Dutch Top 40 another 4 times.

...I think Nicole was a one hit wonder in UK, but she did hit Dutch Top 40 another 4 times.
Nicole did have another hit in the UK with Give Me More Time, but the record only reached 75, and lasted only one week in the charts.

I think it's time to remove the limit .

I never heard of Black Lace before, I only remember Zabe's French hit.

I am all out of answers.  Again, a fantastic quiz Henk! :)

Zabe's version is legendary in Canada.  Kellogg's recently paid tribute by doing a parody of it for a great Mini-Wheats commercial

"Mini-wheats! wheats! wheats!" ;D

Excellent quiz Henk! So good to have you back!
Unfortunately, I haven't a clue on a single one!

karma +1 8)

I think Black Lace are British.  They did a number of this type of 'dance' song.

Certainly are...they represented Britain in the 1979 Eurovision (although they had four members then) with the Godawful 'Mary Ann'... :P

So...you need some hints? ???




Check out the first post again. ::)

I said these weren't as easy as they sounded!  :D

I actually 'got' this one before the clues came out (just waiting for the limit to go!)

#37. 'Davy's On the Road Again' - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

...and a couple from the clues (should have really got these without!)

#13. 'All I Ever Need Is You' - Sonny & Cher (but you knew that!  ;))
#24. 'Send Me The Pillow You Dream On' - Johnny Tillotson (which you probably knew as well!  :D)

Can #21 be a song by Celine Dion?

It's always easier once you know the answer. ;D Three for three, Paul. :)

It most certainly is, Philip. :) It's that one with the French title. ;)

That is now difficult to answer.

23. "The Midnight Special."

23. "The Midnight Special."


That's the one, Gambo! :)

So there's still 8 remaining and I've added sound clippings of the original songs. Maybe that'll help.




btw: The bonus question is also still unanswered... ::)

I don't recognize that Celine song :-[

10 | Agnetha Faltskog
26 | Is it a spanish version of Surrender?  That's the only Pausini song I know.  IT was a big hit for her in Canada, but I Can't remember what it sounds like.  lol
