This one is more U.S. based than the last one, but I did manage to include a good chunk of UK and International ones (more than I thought i was going to be able to lol)

You got 5 for 5 :)

Was 'Endicott' a big hit in NL?  I know it wasn't big in the UK, but I took a chance on it maybe being popular somewhere because I knew Kid Creole was very successful all throughout Europe

It made #21 in our charts, so it was a modest hit. "I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby", "Stool Pigeon", "Annie I'm Not Your Daddy" and even "Hey Mambo" were bigger hits, though.

'Hey Mambo', the duet he did with Barry Manilow?  I didn't know that was a big hit anywhere ;D

Well, it hit #16 over here. :-[

DYK that this was one of only two Top 40 hits for Barry Manilow over here? :o

Now that is very shocking :o  A guess would say the other was 'Mandy'?

Nope. It would (obviously) have to be "Copacabana (At the Copa)", which hit #6 in 1978.

That would've been my next guess.  I thought maybe 'Mandy' because Westlife had a big hit with a cover version lol

...that got stuck in bubbling under section in The Netherlands. Which is still better than the original, 'cause that didn't chart at all.

Hi Jason...excellent stuff as always!

Uncharted section...

#1. 'On The Wings Of Love' - Jeffrey Osborne
#2. 'Oh Julie' - Barry Manilow (Quite a rarity, this! Bazza's 'cover' of Shaky's third British #1)
#3. 'So In Love' - OMD
#7. 'Don't Leave Me This Way' - Communards (which was actually one of the biggest Britsih sellers of 1986!)
#11. 'Two Less Lonely People In the World' - Air Supply

I believe 'Oh Julie' was also one of the rare songs Shaky actually wrote.  He had no hits in America, then Mysteriously Barry takes it into the US Top 40.

You got 5 for 5 Paul :)

That thing always goes too fast for me!  :-I was almost beginning to think that Elvis one would go unanswered lol


Not the biggest of his hits...it was a somewhat 'desperate' measure by the record company to come up with something different!

A medley was a good idea rather than another remix (Guitar Man had been a Top 40 hit in 1981)

The barrel's bottom was well and truly scraped in 1982 with 'Are You Lonesome Tonight'...

This was a previously unreleased 'live' performance where Elvis fluffs his lines and 'corpses' helplessly throughout the entire performance!  :P

And yes, it did chart!  :-[

I recognize a few but can only name one, I think

You can keep guessing if you like.  There is no limit, so if you want, just name off all kinds of songs.  One of them will eventually be right ;D

I made an error.  I thought it was on 'Asylum', but it was apparently on 'Creatures of the Night'.  I got confused cause of its chart date in Canada.  The song apparently got to US #102 and also reached #76 in Australia


...And I'm sure I've mentioned them somewhere. Can't put a name to it, though.


Here's a clue.  Their 2nd lead singer (Who sings this song) is already in this quiz .. one which you answered ;)

Why didn't you say so in the first place? So it's the Little River Band...and if it's John Farnham singing...it must be "You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind"
