No, that's not it. Ah well, it's a bit early days yet to take a guess, anyway. ;)

Hi Henk...fine quiz!

No guesses on the theme, but I'll try five!

#5. 'Born To Be Alive' - Patrick Hernandez
#7. 'Can't Stop The Music' - Village People
#8. 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep' - certainly isn't Middle Of The Road (unless it's being played at the wrong speed!) I'll try with the originator, Lally Stott
#12. 'Elusive Butterfly' - Bob Lind
#13. 'Endless Love' - Lionel Richie & Diana Ross (or was it the other way round?)

Hiya Henk!

Cool quiz!  8)

13. Endless Love - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie

Your five tries are all correct, Paul. :) Lally Stott never made UK Top 40, right?

...oh, and it's Ross & Richie. :P

Thank you Karen. :) You did a mighty fine job yourself too, if I may say so. 8)

These five are spot-on.

No, it was MOTR all the way here...

Strangely, neither he nor MOTR took the honours in the US...they went to Mac & Katie Kissoon!

...oh, and it's Ross & Richie. :P


I should have known that she'd get top billing!  ;)

No, it was MOTR all the way here...


MotR had the bigger hit over here, but Lally Stott didn't do too bad himself...reaching #8 spot.

Hi Henk!  Fun quiz.

Is the theme alphabetical order. 

#4 Blaze of Glory Bon Jovi
#28 I'm Gonna Be (500 miles) The Proclaimers

Hi Henk!  Fun quiz.


Hi Carol! Thank you. :)

Songs are listed in alphabetical order, yes...but that's not the theme. :( Well spotted, though.

Those two are correct, Luke. :) Glad you could find some time.



# 34  The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics

Well !!!  Actually !!!  I had # 28 in my reply, but Lorac beat me to it.

Then, when I finished posting, I also had 29, 30 and 33, but Lorac had edited their answer to include those ones as well !

So I spent about 10 minutes writing down answers that would have taken me 2  ;D

I know how frustrating that is...It's happened to me too.

I saw your original post, then clicked "reply with quote" and...got your modified answer instead. :o

#41 is driving me crazy.  I know it, but I can't remember what it is :\'(

25 | I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie Minogue
43 | River of Dreams - Billy Joel
50 | Touch Me (I Want Your Body) - Samantha Fox
51 | Trouble - Lindsey Buckingham
59 | Would I Lie to You - Eurythmics


A guess on the theme .. all these songs reached #2 in Holland ?

We all have that experience from time to time...It will come to you (or not).

Thems would all be correct. 8)

A good guess, but no. (I already revealed that Lally Stott peaked at #8 ;)) I can tell you, however, that the theme has got nothing to do with Dutch Top 40.

Then may I have another guess on the theme?

I guess that none of these songs have anything to do with the Dutch Top 40 :D

I'm sorry.  I guess I should have made a new reply instead of modifying mine.  Next time I won't do that. 

Hi Henk, I like the novelties.  ;D

#10...Do The Bartman....The Simpsons???

#14...Ernie...Benny Hill?

#40...One (Is The Loneliest Number)....Three Dog Night?

#45...Shout....Tears For Fears?

#47...Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron....The Royal Gaurdsmen?

Hello There Henk,

#27 is "Easy" by Faith No More
#38 is Morning Train by Sheena Easton
#54 is The Wanderer by Dion
#56 is We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) by Tina Turner
#58 is Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin

Hey, Henk! Another excellent quiz.

Well, ya literally snooze, ya lose, but let's see what I can do from the remainder...

21. Somebody's version of "He's Gonna Step on You Again"
42. Photograph - Ringo Starr
46. Simply Irresistible - Robert Palmer
49. Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show
52. Up-Up and Away - The Fifth Dimension
60. You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim) - Rod Stewart

No, it was MOTR all the way here...

Strangely, neither he nor MOTR took the honours in the US...they went to Mac & Katie Kissoon!


Stott did have a minor hit version with it before the Kissoons charted theirs. Middle of the Road failed to make the national charts, but had the hit version in certain regions (most notably Hawaii).

Hi Henk  :)


#9    Computer Games - Mi-Sex

#34  Let's Stick Together - Bryan Ferry

21. Somebody's version of "He's Gonna Step on You Again"


John Kongos

Ooooh !

#40  One - Johnny Farnham (as he was known back then)  8) :D

Then may I have another guess on the theme?


Of course you may. :)


I guess that none of these songs have anything to do with the Dutch Top 40 :D


Which is also false. :P Most of these songs charted in Dutch Top 40, but that's of no importance.

A guess on the theme.

Are all the performers left-handed?

One more for my 5th ;

#44  Saltwater - Julian Lennon

A guess on the theme.

They could be, but I doubt it. Anyway, it's not what I'm after. :( The theme is a rather obvious one, and we've had variations on this theme before. ;)

One more for my 5th ;

#44  Saltwater - Julian Lennon


Spot-on, Amanda. :)

That's not the version I used in this quiz. Sorry... :(



Re- 'He's Gonna Step on You Again' is it the Party Boys  ???

They could be, but I doubt it. Anyway, it's not what I'm after. :( The theme is a rather obvious one, and we've had variations on this theme before. ;)
Obvious, now that will make it more difficult.

Do they all have something to do with the Australian Top 40 ?  :P

Re- 'He's Gonna Step on You Again' is it the Party Boys  ???


Partyboys, yes...


Do they all have something to do with the Australian Top 40 ?  :P


...you could be on to something there. ::)

...you could be on to something there. ::)


I thought so  :D ;D

I'll work on it some more  ;)

I thought so  :D ;D

I'll work on it some more  ;)


Okay Henk....I'm pretty sure they were all No.1's in Australia :)

Okay Henk....I'm pretty sure they were all No.1's in Australia :)

Thanks ! And thanks for the quiz. Great stuff as usual  ;) :)

Hello Kevin  :)

You've got 4.5 out of 5...#40 isn't by Three Dog Night, I'm afraid. :(


I didn't think it was Three Dog Night but I didn't know anyone else who did the song so
I took a shot, oh well.

Hi Henk


I discovered your quiz far too late ... that's my excuse ... and I'm sticking to it!  :P ;D

Anyhow .. #15 ....  I have it on a cd ... and that version is called 'theme from twin peaks' ... by arcadia project. However, I expect the version you had is Julee Cruise ... and was known as 'Falling'.

#49 ... group was supplied by Windbreaker05 .. title is 'Sylvia's mother'

#55 ... I'll take a stab at 'We built this city' ... Starship

#57 .. perhaps it's 'Oh yeah uh huh' ... by Col Joye ?

#53 ... I would have liked a bit more ... at one point it sound like 'Jeans On' by Dave Dundas
... but I will go for 'Walk right in' ... again by Dr. Hook

As usual a great quiz from you Henk.

8) :)

It's a quiz, Alan...Can't give away too much. ;) But you're right, it is "Walk Right In".


As usual a great quiz from you Henk.

#41, I wanna say 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' by Queen, but I bet I am wrong

#41, I wanna say 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' by Queen, but I bet I am wrong


#41  Perfect - Fairground Attraction  ;)

#48  Single Bed - Fox (or Noosha Fox)

#57  What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For - Emile Ford

#41  Perfect - Fairground Attraction  ;)

#48  Single Bed - Fox (or Noosha Fox)

#57  What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For - Emile Ford


...and now we're down to three. :) Maybe you already knew, but Noosha Fox is not her real name.

I see you'll need a little help with the remaining three (all from the 1990s), so I will be providing hints.

#41  Perfect - Fairground Attraction  ;)


Boy, I was wayyy off lol
I should've known it was Fairground Attraction :-[  I love that song

I see you'll need a little help with the remaining three (all from the 1990s), so I will be providing hints.


And here they are:

Hints!
20. One song that I just * had * to include. A Dutch act, named like a Focus song. Song title is a famous catchphrase from a talk show (as spoken by Ed McMahon), and was also used in a 1980 movie starring Jack Nicholson.


23. Mr. Whitney Houston, and he claims to have been a good boy (well, maybe this time...)

31. Four London boys (Tony Mortimer, Brian Harvey, John Hendy and Terry Coldwell) with nothing to worry about.
