#13 Set Adrift On Memory Bliss - PM Dawn
#18 Baby Love - The Supremes
#24 Tom's Diner - Susan Vega
#38 Easy - Faith No More(it can be Lionel though :-\\)


Thanks for the karma!  You got 3.5.  :)

Although Faith No More's cover version is very similar to #38,  this isn't their version. :(  It isn't a solo Lionel Richie song either, but I'm sure you will get it.

Thanks Jason!  These are all correct so four points to you!  8)

I meant with The Commodores,theirs and Faith no More's is almost identical imo.

1-Vision of Love-Mariah Carey.

21-Peaceful Easy Feeling-Eagles

31-My Love-WIngs

36-Brown Eyed Girl-The Rolling Stones

22. Natalie Merchant ... I think the song is "Carnival" but I get hers all mixed up
26. I think it's KC and The Sunshine Band ... maybe "Shake Your Booty"
29. I think it's Whitney Houston ... maybe "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"
39. This one should be easy and I'm blanking.

Another fine quiz, as usual!

Oh, just thought of this one:

7. Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) - Crystal Waters

EDIT again: #22 is actually "Kind and Generous"

39. This one should be easy and I'm blanking.



Sounds like something by Chicago.

You said the magic word.  It is the Commodores!  That completes your four.  Congrats!  8)


1-Vision of Love-Mariah Carey.
21-Peaceful Easy Feeling-Eagles
31-My Love-WIngs
36-Brown Eyed Girl-The Rolling Stones


Hi Carol.  You are spot on with #1, #21, and # 31.  :)

#36 is Brown Eyed Girl but it is not by the Stones.  :(  That give you 3.5, and since you are under the limit, feel free to give it another try!


22. Natalie Merchant ... I think the song is "Carnival" but I get hers all mixed up
26. I think it's KC and The Sunshine Band ... maybe "Shake Your Booty"
29. I think it's Whitney Houston ... maybe "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"
39. This one should be easy and I'm blanking.

Another fine quiz, as usual!

Oh, just thought of this one:

7. Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) - Crystal Waters


Hiya Windbreaker!  #7 is correct!  :) 
#22 is performed by Natalie Merchant,  it isn't Carnival.
I'm sorry to say that your other guesses are not correct :(

#22 is actually "Kind and Generous"


You got it!  :)

20. Billy Joel?
27. All My Loving - The Beatles?
36. Van Morrison

EDIT: Actually, if #27 is The Beatles, it'd be "Love Me Do," not the other

20. Billy Joel?
27. All My Loving - The Beatles?
36. Van Morrison

EDIT: Actually, if #27 is The Beatles, it'd be "Love Me Do," not the other


While #20 is not Billy Joel, #27 is Love Me Do by The Beatles and #36 is by Van Morrison.  That gives you an additional 1.5 for a total of 3.5.  Good job!  8)

39. This one should be easy and I'm blanking.


I agree...oddly familair, but I can't place it right now.

Thank goodness I recognized these four:

#10: Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
#30: Man in the Mirror - Michael Jackson
#35: Endless Love - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie
#37: I Feel Love - Donna Summer

Another great quiz, Bob. :)

39. Good-bye Yellowbrick Road - Elton John

#10: Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

#40 Smoke Gets In Your Eyes ~ The Platters


Hi Phil.  This is correct, but I hadn't yet made the game no limit.  :( Looking back, I can see how you thought I had removed the limit.  I had changed the title to indicate there were only three unanswered questions, and previously, I only did this if the limit had been removed.  My bad.  :-
34. The Four Seasons?


Sorry to say it isn't the Four Seasons.  :(

Anyway, I am now making the game no limit so worries.  :)
