'morning, Philip. :)

You got three correct answers. #12 isn't Bombalurina, I'm afraid. :-\\

Great Quiz Henk!  I was in the initial stages of working on something similar :)


I was thinking you might be tempted to do something like this - so I decided to beat you to it. ;)

Just kidding of course - you make some awesome quizzes yourself. :)

Hi Kevin  :)

I take it you will be pleased to find out that these four are spot-on. 8)

Hello Gwen  :)

You got #31 right, but I'm afraid #14 isn't Geraldo. :\'(

'morning, Philip. :)

You got three correct answers. #12 isn't Bombalurina, I'm afraid. :-\\
...but it is found on #40.

Hey, Henk! Fine quiz. Thanks for it!

18. Take Me Out to the Ball Game - Steve Goodman?

Thank you Andrew! :)

You've got 2.5 correct answers here. As you might've expected, the artist for #18 isn't Steve Goodman.

'morning, Philip. :)

Hi Henk. Gotta go out, so these might all be done by the time I get back, or at least the one's I know. Haven't even listened to any of them yet, but I do believe the original was done by Brian Hyland, so will offer him. He also did a far better song (IMHO) called 'Gypsy Woman', which unfortunately didn't do much in the UK, but I rate it.
:)

...but it is found on #40.


That's more like it. ;)

1. You Never Give Me Your Money - the Beatles



24-Tim McGraw- Last Dollar (Fly Away)


And these two are also correct, Gaylon and Carol. :)

Taking a song as recent as the Tim McGraw one is always a bit of a gamble, so I'm doubly pleased you got it. 8)

Bummer...Your guess for #12 was incorrect. :(

I hope you get the chance to listen later on, maybe there will be a few left you recognize. :)

14. is weird Al Yankovic - Taco Grande (It was the parody of Rico Suave)

Really excellent work as always Henk, your research for these quizzes must take you hours!

Here's my answers:

#2  Alice, I Want You Just For Me - Full Force
#20 2-4-6-8 Motorway - Tom Robinson Band
#32 Waiting For A Train - Flash and the Pan

#5 is also really familiar, I'm humming the rest of this dance track but I can't remember the name of the song or the artist.

It most definitely is, Patty. :)

I'm not at all familiar with the original, btw. I don't think it was released (as a single) over here.

Why thanks Graham. :) Usually it's not the research that takes up most of the time, but for this one it was different.

These three are correct, and I'm sure #5 will come to you eventually. It's not really rocket science, you know... ::) ;)

Hey again!

38. 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow Your Whistle) - Gary Toms Empire

Hey again!

38. 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow Your Whistle) - Gary Toms Empire


Yep! :)

This song never made it to Dutch top 40, even though there were two different versions (the other one by the Rimshots, which was the more popular one in UK).

And these two are also correct, Gaylon and Carol. :)

Taking a song as recent as the Tim McGraw one is always a bit of a gamble, so I'm doubly pleased you got it. 8)


Thanks Henk, we're fans of Tim McGraw in this house!!

18.  Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly
19.  "Ca plane pour moi" by Plastic Bertrand
39.  "That Woman's Got Me Drinking Again" by Shane MacGowen

:-[ What's left is too good for me. Don't recognise ANY .... :-[ :-[

Impressed with that player though Henk .... haven't seen anything like that before in these quiz links.  :)

Hello John  :)

You've got one and two halves there. #19 is "Ca Plane Pour Moi" alright, but not by Plastic Bertrand this time. :(

:-[ What's left is too good for me. Don't recognise ANY .... :-[ :-[

Impressed with that player though Henk .... haven't seen anything like that before in these quiz links.  :)


It's not "too good"...it's "too obscure". ;D ;)

Thanks for the compliment, though I don't think I deserve any credit. Jason (whistledog) taught me how to do it. ;)

#17 Shake Your Body Down (to the ground) - Shakatak

#19 don't know the artist but it features on a car advert at the moment

#27 Work Your Body?

#17 Shake Your Body Down (to the ground) - Shakatak


That's not it, but I have a feeling you might be confusing two songs. It's another band and another title, though (and a hint: a UK #1).


#19 don't know the artist but it features on a car advert at the moment


It does? Cool! 8) The artists in question are also into "juicy, round fruit with delicate yellowish-red skin and a rough stone-like seed".


#27 Work Your Body?


If you mean "Work That Body" (and I assume you do)...you're right. :)

OK - Hints are out, and limit is increased to 6.

#17 Use It Up, Wear It Out - Odyssey  (There was a version by a different artist that was a club hit in the US in the early 90s - aka my clubbing days)  :)

#17 Use It Up, Wear It Out - Odyssey  (There was a version by a different artist that was a club hit in the US in the early 90s - aka my clubbing days)  :)


That's the one, Bob. :)

This is the only version of the song that I know (and the only one to hit Dutch charts).

29 | Gigi D'Agostino, but the song name escapes me.  I misplaced my CD  :\'(
33 | Trojan Horse - Luv (a bona fide minor hit in Canada lol)

That's the one, Bob. :)

This is the only version of the song that I know (and the only one to hit Dutch charts).


Cool!  8)  The club version was by Pat and Mick.  It was produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, and I always associate their distinctive production sound with late 80s and early 90s dance music. Ahhh...memories!  :)

A wild guess...

13. Ricky Martin?

19. They're in charge of the White House.

The Presidents of the United States of America covered Plastic Bertrand?  Wow.



Hello John  :)

Hello to you too . . . and nice quiz.

33 | Trojan Horse - Luv (a bona fide minor hit in Canada lol)

I may have heard it in a roller-rink here in Montreal - unless I'm having false memories.  Not my style but they get points for using the bagpipes!

You'd better get that CD back where it belongs (ie in your CD player) before someone else takes the other half (which also happens to be half of a Rick James song).

The other one is 100% correct. :)

Ah, Pat and Mick...as in "I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet"? ::) Their success was very limited over here. Didn't Pat (Sharp) host a show on this music channel...what was it again? The Music Box?


.... * sighs * ...Amanda Redington. Speaking of memories. :D

A wild guess...

13. Ricky Martin?


Wild guesses sometimes pay out, Patty. :) It is Ricky Martin indeed. The song title includes a girls name. ;)

The Presidents of the United States of America covered Plastic Bertrand?  Wow.


Yes they did. I didn't know about this either, until I started working on this quiz.

It's not exactly my style either, but I put something in for everyone.

13. Maria by Ricky Martin

Is it cheating to look at a list of Ricky Martin songs and pick one that has a girl's name in it?  ;D

13. Maria by Ricky Martin

I don't consider that cheating. If I did, I would be calling the kettle black. ;)

The song was known as "(Un Dos Tres) Maria" over here and in UK - that's why it's on the list.

#27 Diana Ross?

22 must be a Willy DeVille song

#27 Diana Ross?


Correctamundo. :)


22 must be a Willy DeVille song


Indeed. 8) Now don't let the intro fool you. The song is about a man with a gun and hearsay of a terrible crime he's committed.

It is!

I've removed the limit, so if there's anything left for you...

#2 sounds familiar.  A guess would be Ferry Corsten?

#2 sounds familiar.  A guess would be Ferry Corsten?


I take it you meant #5, but it's not Ferry Corsten. :( His real name is Jan Engelaar. Before his solo career, he worked with Peran (Peran van Dijk). Apart from this tune and "You Got My Love", he also recorded songs like "Love Come Home", "Lift Me Up", "Supersounds" and "Every Single Day".
