You've nailed those, Jason - although I can't give you full points for #17. I'm looking for the actual title of the tune, and a performer to go with it of course.

27. Daydream - the Lovin' Spoonful
43. Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding

Thanks Graham. :) Your four answers are all correct. There's actually a second artist performing on #29, but I'm not sure if he was credited.


I don't know what the official title or artist for #20 is but I know the "unofficial" words to it....something about the Albert Hall isn't it ;) ?


In all honesty, I couldn't give you the "unofficial" lyrics to that song - although I vaguely recall something about a failed painter from Germany and his testicles...?  ::)

#18 Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life ~ Monty Python

These are all spot-on, Philip. 8) Now can you give me a performer for #20? ???

At a guess, could it be The Billy Cotton Show Band?

It's not the artist I was looking for, and I'm not quite sure he/his band actually performed that specific tune either, Philip. I've done a little research but have come up empty so far. :-\\

I can't possibly reject that answer, can I? ;)

The version I used for this quiz was by the Boston Pops Orchestra, but I think they all sound the same (well, they should, anyway).

Boston Pops Orchestra, that would be the conductor as John Williams, now the film composer.

I've increased the limit to 7. :)

32 | It's Motley Crue (I know) with 'Girls Girls Girls' (I think)
34 | Can't Smile Without You - Barry Manilow

and as I see, I have .75 left, here's a .50 ...

38 | The song is 'Bad Girls'

42. Bungle in the Jungle - Jethro Tull

?15. Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin?

30.  Tighten Up - Archie Bell and the Drells

All are correct, Jason. :) But as I see it, you still have 1.25 left...So if you have an artist for #38... ::)


42. Bungle in the Jungle - Jethro Tull


That's right, Gaylon. I was kinda surprised to see that it made #12 in US.


?15. Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin?


No, but a good guess though.


30.  Tighten Up - Archie Bell and the Drells


A US #1, and a real giveaway with that....I thought it would've been gone much sooner.

All are correct, Jason. :) But as I see it, you still have 1.25 left...So if you have an artist for #38... ::)


Damn, I miscounted :-[ 
Then how's about tossing in Donna Summer as the artist for #38 :)

Hey again!

22. The Stranger - Billy Joel
26. The Happy Whistler - Don Robertson

Damn, I miscounted :-[

Donna Summer it is. :)

You know, it surprises me to see #16 still left unanswered...I mean, this was a MASSIVE hit about 50 (!) years ago. :-\\ And as far as I know, it's still a popular tune.

Hey again!

22. The Stranger - Billy Joel
26. The Happy Whistler - Don Robertson


Another two down...Only 6.75 to go. :)

A coupla more...

#16. 'Love Letters In The Sand' - Pat Boone
#35. 'Mexican Whistler' - Roger Whittaker

A coupla more...

#16. 'Love Letters In The Sand' - Pat Boone
#35. 'Mexican Whistler' - Roger Whittaker


A coupla more right. ;) It's hard to believe that the Pat Boone song is just over half a century old... :o

With only a handful left, I might as well remove the limit completely and offer you some hints.

It's extremely hard to believe that Pat Boone is approaching three-quarters of a century age-wise!  :o

He looks better than me at nearly twice my age!

That'd be helpful!  :)

Here ya go! :)


#15: Almost a OHW from Jamaica, real name Anthony Henry. The song hit #22 in UK, but did nothing in US. Singer also teamed up with the Gunners in 1993.

#17: The artist also wrote music for the "I Spy" series, as well as the themes for "Dick Van Dyke Show", "That Girl", "The Mod Squad" and "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer". Song title's got something to do with herring, trout, salmon and the like.

#25: Agreed, this is not the most popular/memorable tune by a band that starred in their own tv series. The song (about a wide, treeless plain of the arctic region, covered in starchy food from the roots of the cassava plant) hit #34 in US.

#37: Composer of film music with a broad legacy. This theme was originally used for a 1968 movie, but regained popularity when used by Quentin Tarantino in 2003 (in a movie starring Uma Thurman). Composer in question worked with Alfred Hitchcock (on "Vertigo", "Psycho" and "Marnie", to name but a few).

#45: I knew this one was gonna be hard, if not impossible, though the artist isn't completely unknown. He had a US #7 hit ("Vaya Con Dios")  and a US #8 (with "Amukiriki"). This particular song didn't chart anywhere, so I might as well give you the title: "Walking and Whistling Blues".

Here ya go! :)

Thank you muchly...I'll try...

I deduce it must be Les Paul (although you're 100% right with the song...not one of his I'm familiar with...)

Les Paul is the artist I was looking for. :) To be honest, I had never heard of the song before too, but when doing research for this quiz this was one of the songs that popped up. I liked it enough to use it.

I think not, so here are the remaining answers:

        Hello Darling - Tippa Irie

#25: Agreed, this is not the most popular/memorable tune by a band that starred in their own tv series. The song (about a wide, treeless plain of the arctic region, covered in starchy food from the roots of the cassava plant) hit #34 in US.
        Tapioca Tundra - Monkees


#37: Composer of film music with a broad legacy. This theme was originally used for a 1968 movie, but regained popularity when used by Quentin Tarantino in 2003 (in a movie starring Uma Thurman). Composer in question worked with Alfred Hitchcock (on "Vertigo", "Psycho" and "Marnie", to name but a few).
        Twisted Nerve (also on the OST of 'Kill Bill') - Bernard Herrmann




So...nobody seen 'Kill Bill' then? ???

I saw Kill Bill (both), but I never would have known that song :(

Also, I didn't know the theme to the Andy Griffith Show had an actual title.  I'd always thought it was just called The Andy Griffith Show Theme lol

Could be more popular over here compared to US/Canada... :-\\...I know it's available as a ringtone here.

You learn something everyday. ::)

I heard these four this morning, and I thought #37 could had been Bernard Herrmann, but decided not to post it.

Great Quiz.


Too bad you didn't. It's always worth a try... ;) Hope you don't hold back next time.

It's not gonna happen right now...




...but maybe tomorrow.

Well, for the record...

I do remember Tippa Irie as a 'name', but would never have got that song in a million years...

'The Andy Griffith Show' I've never seen!

If it ain't 'Daydream Believer' (or something of that ilk from The Monkees), then I haven't got a chance...

I've never seen 'Kill Bill'...

But there you are! Fantastic quiz nonetheless, Henk!  :)

That's nothing to be ashamed of. Heck, it's probably so much the better! ;D


'The Andy Griffith Show' I've never seen!

I've never seen 'Kill Bill'...


Well, neither have I. "The Andy Griffith Show Theme" was one of the songs that kept popping up while researching, so that's why I used it. "Twisted Nerve" was/is available as a ringtone over here, so I've seen/heard that one many a-time.



If it ain't 'Daydream Believer' (or something of that ilk from The Monkees), then I haven't got a chance...


"Tapioca Tundra" wasn't one of their biggest hits (not sure, but it might have been their last). Nevertheless...if you have a chance, you should give it a listen. I feel the song is underrated/ignored by general public.



But there you are! Fantastic quiz nonetheless, Henk!  :)


Thanks Paul. :) Be sure to tune in on my next quiz...
