Aloha, everybody...hope you're all having a great day! :D

#2. 'The Way It Is' - Bruce Hornsby & The Range

Hi Karen! :)
Yet another fine quiz you got here...I think I've found three:
#6: I've Been Thinking About You - Londonbeat
#16: (Don't You) Forget About Me - Simple Minds
#20: In The Navy - Village People
A connection...? :-\\ Well, so far they're all bands - but I doubt that's what you had in mind.

Hi, kairi! :)
I'll give you 2.5 out of 3 for these, as Luther Vandross was not the artist I was looking for on #8...

A rather wild guess at the connection...
Have all these songs been butchered by various people on 'American Idol'?

Didn't some country star like Randy Travis record "Always And Forever"?
BTW, #11 is the Fine Young Cannibals's "She Drives Me Crazy". Love that song!
Could the theme be that each of these all were the artist/band's only #1 hit?
That's my hunch!

Doc

Hi Karen
The artist for #8 is Heatwave, I believe.
My guess for the hidden theme...it's a long shot but is it something to do with relationships within the bands?
I know there were 2 brothers in Heatwave, plus various other bands in the list so far have siblings or husband/wife combinations in the band....stretching the point a little with Culture Club at #13 but there was a relationship between Boy George and drummer Jon Moss wasn't there?

Correct answer for #11, but I'm afraid your guess on the theme is not right...

Subject: Re: A New 'Hidden Theme' Quiz...(3 LEFT!)
Written By: nally on 09/28/07 at 1:20 pm
Let's see if I can figure out any of the ones that are left.
#10... I think it's "All 4 love" by Color Me Badd?
Also, I can't figure out the "hidden theme" :-[
And by the way, I know #6 has been answered, but for the record, I heard it on the radio yesterday. :D

It's not a song that I hear very often...but it's not too bad (considering it's a 90's song! :o :))...

Well, it's one of many 90s songs I like to listen to; this particular one was from the early part of the decade...I believe it was popular when I was in the 5th grade.

After a look so close it nearly made my eyeballs fall out of my ears, I've come to the conclusion that they are all interracial bands...

the only all female interracial group from England I can think of are the Spice Girls. And.. .the only Spice Girls song I ever heard was Wannabe so that's my guess... but I only the chorus so it could be wrong.
