Feels good to be the first, eh? And you've got four correct answers, Janine! :)

Thanks Paul! :) Your four answers are spot-on (as always!). I'm a bit surprised to see #2 going so fast, as it wasn't a big hit anywhere.


Excellent quiz Henk :)

7 | Mr. Jones - Counting Crows
19 | Robert De Niro's Waiting - Bananarama
28 | Addams Groove - Hammer
36 | Dr. Jones - Aqua


Hi Jason!  :) Your answers are all correct, but Janine beat you to #7.  :( Well, there may be one left that you know.


11 | The Ghost of Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen
12 | Mrs. Jones - Herman's Hermits
16 | Mrs. Jackson - Outkast
21 | Jimmy Mack - Martha & The Vandellas



Hello Beth. :) I can only give you 3.5 points for these answers (although #16 is actually Ms Jackson). #12 is the right artist, but not the correct title. Good job on getting #11, btw! ;)

#29...Memo From Turner....Mick Jagger?

#34...Frankenstein....Edgar Winter?

#39...Eleanore Rigby....The Beatles?


What can I say, Kevin..? They're all right! :) "Frankenstein" never made it to Dutch Top 40, so I was a bit surprised to find out it hit #1 in U.S.

Hi there Henk

#20 Mr Wendell - Arrested Development
#23 The Ballad of Chasey Lain - Bloodhound Gang
#36 Doctor Jones - Aqua
#40 Alexander Graham Bell - Sweet


Hello Graham! :) You've done well with those four - they're all correct. Unfortunately Jason beat you to #36.

The Sweet has had 12 Top 10 hits in The Netherlands, but Alexander Graham Bell wasn't one of them. It was in fact one of their least popular tunes (I believe this also applies for UK).


#31 Jackie Wilson Said - Dexy's Midnight Runners


It may be just one answer, but it's one correct answer, Karen! 8)


#3 - Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce
#7 - Mrs.Jones by Counting Crows
#12 - Mrs. Brown, You Have A Lovely Daughter by Hermans Hermits
#39 - Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles


I wish I could give you four points for those ('cause they are all correct), but unfortunately 3.5 were already answered. :(
So all that's left is half a point for the (nearly) correct title for #12. Hope that's not too disappointing... :-\\


17. Alice Long - Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
30. Mrs. Vanderbilt - Paul McCartney and Wings
37. MacArthur Park - Richard Harris

and I think #26 must be Tony Joe White - Roosevelt and Ira Lee




Excellent job, Gaylon! 8) All four are correct. I was afraid both #17 and 30 would be left unanswered. Neither of those reached Top 40 in UK or U.S., if I'm correct. Yet Alice Long reached #15 in Dutch Top 40, and Mrs Vandebilt even made it to #7.


Rats!  I'm too late on this one!  :(


Aww... sorry to hear that, Karen. :( You sure you don't know (the artist for) #27 or #33? :-\\

Nope.  :-\\

Ah, OK if I missed out on that one can I go for

Yes and yes, Gambo! :)

Yes... the limit's off. :)

FileCabin must be down again.  The player won't load for me.  I am pretty sure the ones left I don't recognize, but i' will take a second listen when the player works again :)

Hi Henk...a few more!

#15. 'Dear Mrs. Applebee' - David Garrick
#24. 'Semi-Detached Suburban Mr. James' - Manfred Mann

Three more correct answers, Paul! :) I knew I could count on you. 8)

David Garrick scored a #3 hit with that song in Dutch Top 40. Amazing, innit?

I see I might need to give some hints on the remaining ones though... :-\\

Not fantastically amazing, as it's a catchy little tune...just didn't really click here!  :-\\

Give me a chance! I haven't been through the others yet!  :o

MTA...

#35. 'Mrs. Hutchinson' - Madness
#38. 'Mr. Raffles (Man It Was Mean)' - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

...okay! Now you can drop the hints!  ;)

You better sit down, son, your mother's very ill
We may have to operate - it's more than just a chill.
But don't you worry, she's in competent hands
We believe it's under the ribs or one of the glands.

...how reassuring! ;D

Maybe it's just me but....

When I open the first page of the quiz, there is no logo to click :(  That was in Firefox.

I opened the same page in IE7, there is a logo (of sorts) - it is the dreaded red X...

Nonetheless, I can click on it, but when I do, I get this :


Warning: fopen(data/bw/bw_64582.php): failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /home/cabin/public_html/members_vb/includes/db.class.php on line 76
Could not open data/bw/bw_64582.php for writting.

:\'(

Anyone else having this problem ?

I've noticed the dreaded Red X as well. I think it means FileCabin is down (once again). :(

You might wanna try later (that is...if there's anything left you know).

I missed the modificated part earlier on, Paul. I'll give you credit for those two. :)

FileCabin seems to be experiencing some kinda trouble, so you can't listen to the clippings anymore. >:(


But...I've added hints for the remaining five songs. Hopefully that'll help.

14 | Zager and Evans .....I'm surprised I didn't catch this the first time
32 | Marianne Faithfull

14 | Zager and Evans .....I'm surprised I didn't catch this the first time
32 | Marianne Faithfull


Correct on the artists, Beth. :)

Zager and Evans are one hit wonders almost everywhere, I think - but in The Netherlands, the song from this quiz reached #30, so they're not really OHW over here.
In Dutch Top 40, this was the biggest hit for Marianne Faithfull, reaching #15 in 1979/1980. Not that that's of much help to you...

I'm really confused !

I see people have answered since my earlier post, but again I have tried and encountered the same problem !

I must just keep picking the wrong time I guess :(

No you're not - there's still no valid connection with FileCabin apparently. The answers you see were answers to the hints I provided, and I've since modified the hints accordingly. ;)

I've created new links for the remaining five songs, using another file host. They work for me, but that may be just because it's my account. Let me know if they work for you.

I don't recognize any that's left :(

An excellent quiz though Henk :)
Shame FileCabin went down.  It seems to do that alot lately.  FileDen works, but the clips load really slow

Looks like I have to give the answers away... I did think #14 and 25 would probably be too obscure (although you never know), but I was hoping you (or DJ Midas) would recognize #13 and/or 18. Which leaves us with #32...well, I figured Paul... :-\\

You do know who the Hardest Working Man In Show Business is (or was), don't you? He's also known as the Godfather Of Soul. ::)

That would be the late Bames Brown

Bames Brown...? ???


Never mind - I see it doesn't ring any bells. I guess the song never made it to Canadian charts. It did hit #59 in U.S., though, and I'm sure I've mentioned it before (being the first "rave" record to ever hit the Billboard Hot 100, in 1991).

As for #18... you might know the artist for their song "Das Boot".

Hullo, Henk. A fine quiz here. :)

#32 is "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan"

Don't recognize the others remaining.

No need to apologise, Henk.

Well hullo to you too, Andrew! :) Nice of you to drop in again and have a go at my quiz! We've been missing you, ya know?

And you're right, it is the Ballad Of Lucy Jordan. 8)


Nice one.

32.  "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan."


Awww....sorry John.  :( See above.

I don't think anyone knows the remaining ones, so here are the answers:


13. Dutch producer Denzil Slemming with a tune about the hardest working man in show business.
        James Brown Is Dead - L.A. Style

14. Zager and Evans, with a song about a girlfriend with a fictitious name.
        Cary Lynn Javes - Zager & Evans

18. German submarine (aka Alex Christensen) wishing they were related to a 1960s U.S. president.
        I Wanna Be A Kennedy - U96

25. Her only claim to fame is having a far more popular brother (who also features on the "Happy Feet" soundtrack). This song is about a singer who had a hit with "1919 Main Street".
        Mark Anthony's Tune - Tyka Nelson (Prince's sister)

LOL I originally meant James Brown.  I should have known the answer to #13.  I know of that song, but your clip is the first I'd heard what it sounded like


FYI: the clipping I used is the original 7"mix (which has vocals). I myself only heard that version maybe two or three times. The more popular version (over here anyway) has no lyrics except for the title.


I look forward to your M quiz 8)


Coming soon to a cinema PC near you! ;D
