24. Little Jeannie--Elton John  :)
27. Sugar Sugar--Archies

#24 is correct, but I am afraid #27 isn't.  It is Sugar Sugar, but there's a little more to it.  A good try though :)

You are correct, sir! :)

Hey Jason, wonderful quiz as always  :).

#16 must be the little known follow-up to "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman Turner Overdrive...well, little known outside Canada, obviously! I'm afraid I don't know the song title.
#32 Funky Town - Pseudo Echo
#37 is driving me mad!
#38 Patience - Take That

(Aarrgh! Just got 'assaulted' by #18!  :P)


I'm astounded that no-one has gotten # 18 yet  :o  (apart from Paul obviously knowing it)  ;D

# 18  Money, Honey - Bay City Rollers

# 20  Never Gonna Fall In Love Again - Eric Carmen

# 34  Get Outta My Dreams - Billy Ocean

I'm astounded that no-one has gotten # 18 yet  :o  (apart from Paul obviously knowing it)  ;D


I would've, but I couldn't get the thing to work  :o :(

It could be a browser issue.  Several quizzes I have made don't seem to like Firefox, but they work in Internet Explorer

I've been using Firefox to do yours and it's been working out okay.

A quiz I did a while back when I used Yahoo! to host the music player, seemed to not work at all with Firefox.  Ever since then, these types of audio quizzes often get screwy with certain browsers.  It's all very confusing.  lol

#38 is Take That, but not Patience


OK, it's "Back For Good", how did I mess that up? Can't say I'm a big fan of Gary Barlow but what the heck do the other three do!?

They got faded out by his voice.  lol
Back For Good is the correct answer :)

Thanks Rhonda! :)
#24 is correct, but I am afraid #27 isn't.  It is Sugar Sugar, but there's a little more to it.  A good try though :)

If I would've been paying attention I would've noticed that it was an 80s song, so I was way off  :-[

#31: I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz
#36: Mixed Emotions - Rolling Stones

Thanks Henk.  You got three for three :)

8 | Bobby Joe Royal

Well, I know I've heard #12 before...just can't think of the title & artist. :-\\

Anyway...

#27: Gotta be Stars on 45 volume 1 - Stars on 45.
#28: I'm a-guessing it's the Friends Of Mr Cairo - Jon & Vangelis

8. Billy Joe Royal
16. Hey You
23. Good Girls Don't - The Knack
33. Sounds like Peter Cetera, but I'm not sure which song

My guess at #27 is Stars on 45 by Stars on 45 ???

8 | Bobby Joe Royal



Close, but no cigar

#28: I'm a-guessing it's the Friends Of Mr Cairo - Jon & Vangelis


Both correct!

Here's a hint on #12.  The band is from Canada, and they took their name from a drug.  The song in question hit #31 in America, and was also popular in Japan and The Netherlands, among other places
