Y'know something weird?  That Junior Senior track (to my knowledge) never charted in Canada, but I hear it on the radio all the time.  Everywhere I go, I hear it atleast once a day, and I never seem to get sick of it

D-d-d-don't don't don't, don't stop the beat! 8)

Has this quiz got anything to do with sevens at all?  ;)

Regardless, it's a great effort as ever, Henk...

#7's section...

#7. 'In The Name Of Love' - Sharon Redd
#8. 'Help Yourself' - Tom Jones
#9. 'Baby Talk' - Alisha

Excellent quiz, Henk!  8)


Thank you Karen. :) You know I keep trying... ;)

Somehow I figured you'd go for 1977... When I was working on this quiz, I found out that 1977 actually wasn't that bad at all. 8)
In fact, a song like "Turn To Stone" sounds just as good today as it did back in the 1970s.

You've got 'em all correct, btw.  :)

Bringing back memories (fond ones, preferrably) is what I strive for. I'm glad I've succeeded once again. :)

Your answers are all spot-on, Philip.



P.S.  I think Paul will be pleased you took #23. ;)

Wonderful quiz Henk :)

Why so? That's an okay-ish slice of stuff...

('Sorry I'm A Lady'...I draw the line at that!  ;))

Now whatever makes you think that...?  ::)

It's a dirty job... ;)

Hats off once again, Paul. 8)

I did notice that this Blondie song hadn't made UK Top 40, but I didn't know it wasn't released as a single at all...Very strange.
Good job on the Alisha song as well...that didn't make UK Top 40 either, if I'm correct.


Why so? That's an okay-ish slice of stuff...


Okay-ish...? Well...Okay-ish then. ;)


('Sorry I'm A Lady'...I draw the line at that!  ;))


...not to mention "Koochie Koo". :P

Now whatever makes you think that...?  ::)

Just a hunch...

I did notice that this Blondie song hadn't made UK Top 40, but I didn't know it wasn't released as a single at all...Very strange.

An unprecedented (for the time) four singles were lifted off 'Parallel Lines' in Britain, but not this song...

Good job on the Alisha song as well...that didn't make UK Top 40 either, if I'm correct.

Ran out of steam sixty places lower than her Dutch peak...'huge in the clubs' though (as I seem to be fond of saying!)

...not to mention "Koochie Koo". :P


That I've not heard...is this a bad thing?

I remember them doing Eurovision many years ago (rather unsuccessfully!)

That I've not heard...is this a bad thing?


It's probably better best forgotten. Even we (i.e the Dutch) didn't think much of it (it peaked at #24, with only 4 weeks in chart).


I remember them doing Eurovision many years ago (rather unsuccessfully!)


Sad but true...

In 1978 they entered for Luxembourg (go figure!) with "Parlez-Vous Français?" . Well, they obviously didn't...
Still, they ended up in...7th place. :o What a coincidence. (It got stuck in Dutch bubbling under section, btw)



Did I mention "Sorry I'm a Lady" also was a #1 hit over here...? ???

You've got them nearly all correct, Jason. The song title for #11 is incorrect, I'm afraid. :(


I am drawing a blank on the SOS songs that I don't know that well.  I know what it isn't ;D
Another guess ... 'Twilight World' ?



edit: forgot to include the quote

Okay....these ones are all from the 1st one:

14: Pet Shop Boys, but I don't know which song it is. Do I get half credit for just naming the band?

Thanks Janine! :)


No. 7s

#17  Sun Is Shining - Bob Marley


That's three quarters of the answer...I'm missing part of the artist.


#45  No Regrets - ???


Correct. I can tell you that the artists were more popular in the 1960s. They split up in 1967, but briefly reunited in 1976/1977.

I've increased the limit to 10. Have another go, people...

Indeed. But there's plenty of other Pet Shop Boys songs to pick from... ::)

After giving my 'PopArt' CD a listen, I now realize it's 'Domino Dancing', which if I remember correctly was also their last ever US Top 40 hit

Watch them all fall down...

Domino Dancing it is, Jason. :)

On the Numbers 7 quiz...

"No Regrets" is by The Walker Brothers

I believe "Oh Boy" was recorded by Brotherhood of Man, though I've not actually heard that version.

On the 1977 quiz...

46. Maybe something by Love Unlimited?
47. Must be one of those medley groups. Perhaps Long Tall Ernie?

46. Maybe something by Love Unlimited?
47. Must be one of those medley groups. Perhaps Long Tall Ernie?


Both guesses are incorrect, I'm afraid... :(
#46 is a solo artist, if that's any help. Her real name is Jacqueline McKinnon.
#47 is probably the most obscure song in this quiz (along with #06 and #29, I think).

Looks like I have to bring out the hints...

1977

#2. 'Baby Don't Change Your Mind' - Gladys Knight & The Pips
#7. 'Red Light Spells Danger' - Billy Ocean (there's probably a few people here who regard him only as an 80s artist!)
#17. 'Something Better Change' - Stranglers

#7. 'Red Light Spells Danger' - Billy Ocean (there's probably a few people here who regard him only as an 80s artist!)
#17. 'Something Better Change' - Stranglers


Three more correct answers, Paul. :)

To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this gem by Billy Ocean (although it hit #12 in our charts), but I do remember "Love Really Hurts Without You".  8)

And I notice you're saving best (#37) for last... ::)

To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this gem by Billy Ocean (although it hit #12 in our charts), but I do remember "Love Really Hurts Without You".  8)

He made some good stuff around that time (all in a sort-of 'mock' Motown manner), before dropping off-radar...

I remember being mildly surprised when 'European/African/Caribbean Queen' broke through in 1984...

And I notice you're saving best (#37) for last... ::)


I thought I'd be safe as I thought the record came from the following year (when it had its British success!), but I should have known!  ::)

One more on the Numbers 7 quiz:

28. The Show Must Go On - Queen

That was driving me batty!

#46. sounds like Tina Charles judging by the powerful set of lungs...
#47. 'Disco Beatlemania' - DBM (and you thought Starsound got there first?  ;))

Impressive...but not all are correct.

#46 isn't Tina Charles. Although it sounds much like her, it's actually Jacqueline McKinnon. ...Who?

And #47 is incorrect too. The artist(s) I'm looking for is (are) too obscure I'm afraid. This wasn't a hit in UK or US.

Nrs. 7

01. American band, very close related to #48 in the other quiz. The lead singer also had a solo hit with 'Missing You'.
04. UK -- , US 61 Club Play] It's Calvin & Alisa, better known for their 1980 hit 'Don't Stop the Music'.
05. A song from her album 'Raw Like Sushi' (which also features 'Manchild').
06. He had a handful of hits in the early to mid-1960s, of which 'The More I See You' is probably the best known. He's crazy for you...
15. American rock-a-billy singer with the assistance of a rock'n'roll guitarist. They had one other notable tune called 'Sea Cruise'.
18. I believe I belong to you. So...are you gonna go my way?
31. Strange...a classic rock tune IMHO, but it didn't chart in UK or US. They claim to be their parents' pride & joy, and they want part in the action.
34. Obscure UK band, consisting of Colin Horton-Jennings, Garth and Norman Watt-Roy, Mick Deacon and Ron Prudence.


1977
04. No hits in UK for this band, best known for 'Cherchez la Femme'. Band members included one August Darnell...
06. This reggae band had a UK #9 hit in 1980 with 'Amigo'. By then, they had shortened their name.

22. Irish singer who had several hits in UK in 1960s, best known for 'Make Me An Island'.
24. What can I say? The guy's a 'hustle'r...

32. UK band (Clive Scott, Des Dyer, Tony Campbell, Barrie Bernard), who had a 1975 hit with 'Sky High'.
44. One of the last chart entries for this glam rock icon, before he got caught with his pants down (well, not literally).
46. Jacqueline McKinnon, better known for her 1980 hit 'Feels Like I'm In Love'.
47. Obscure studio project by American producer Jay Levy. Project name is also a type of hot, brown(ish) beverage.

Ah! So that's who Jacqueline McKinnon is!

Doesn't help me in the slightest as to what the song is, but I know her better (as I suppose many others do) as Kelly Marie...

I'll rattle off a few 'clueages'...artists only, I'm afraid...
