Paul and Cf managed to get most of the ones I've recognised so far (though I've only listened to the first 30)

They did leave me

#13 Our House - Madness
#17 Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

So far so good, Karen... :)

I think you'll find some other familiar tunes in the remaining 38 clippings. ;)

Good Lord! So it isn't!  :o

'Sinful' is much slower than that!

I'll put it down to a 'mature' moment and submit 'Come Back' by his 'group', The Mighty Wah...

I always look forward to your quizzes, Henk, thank you.  ;)

You've got four correct answers. Sorry to say that #33 is incorrect (the correct answer has already been given, btw).

Hello Kevin. :)

What you got here is mostly right. The only one that's not (entirely) right is #37... It's not Steely Dan, but you're very close.

Hi there Jason! :)

You may be late, but you still got those four...

65 | First We Take Manhattan - Jennifer Warnes


...or five! I absolutely love her take on this Leonard Cohen song. Such a shame it didn't make it to the charts... :(

Morning Henk, some great tunes and memories here :).

Hi Janine! :) Welcome to the wonderful world of my quizzes.

You've got four correct answers. Sorry to say that #33 is incorrect (the correct answer has already been given, btw). Thanks for welcoming me..Quick question for you,why is the person below me #37 wrong I thought it was from the Nightfly Album?

Hi Henk, another great quiz.  Most of the one I know are already answered.  :\'(

#12 The Ramones-Something to Believe In.

...or five! I absolutely love her take on this Leonard Cohen song. Such a shame it didn't make it to the charts... :(


Did Leonard Cohen have any hits in the NL?

In Canada, it's quite bizarre.  Cohen is a Legend, but he never really had big hits.  Everyone who has had a hit with one of his songs has done better with it than he originally did

Okay, if #37 is not Steely Dan than it has to be Donald Fagen. I wasn't sure if Fagen did the song solo or with Steely Dan.

#41 Don't Talk To Me About Love - Altered Images

Memories...Hope they're good ones. :)

You five are all spot-on, Graham. 8)

#12 The Ramones-Something to Believe In.


Happens to me all the time, Carol...

Well done on getting the Ramones song! :) Funny thing here...they only got two "hits" over here: this one (which got stuck in bubbling under section) and "Rock 'n' Roll High School" (which hit #8). And although they had a lot more hits in US, these two never made the charts over there (unless I'm mistaken).

Just one: "Lover, Lover, Lover" which got stuck in bubbling under section.


Okay, if #37 is not Steely Dan than it has to be Donald Fagen. I wasn't sure if Fagen did the song solo or with Steely Dan.


It was one of his solo efforts, yes. :) Which also answers ninny/Janine's question.

Hey - what's that? ...No more answers? :-\\



Time to increase the limit to 10.

Hi Henk - 3 more from me...

#26 Calling All the Heroes - It Bites
#28 Drowning in Berlin - The Mobiles
#66 Ever So Lonely - Monsoon

#66 was great, I bought that single. It featured a girl who used to appear in a BBC children's TV show called "Grange Hill", I believe.

also, #15 is so familiar, it's driving me mad trying to remember what this intro leads into!

49. sounds like a George Michael or Wham song, although I can't think of it...  :\'(

59. Heartlight by Kenny Loggins?

#60 Happy Birthday - Altered Images

couple of guesses on artists

#28 Hazel O'Connor
#29 Bucks Fizz

49 is Wham!'s "Where Did Your Heart Go?"

Good Lord! So it isn't!  :o

'Sinful' is much slower than that!

I'll put it down to a 'mature' moment and submit 'Come Back' by his 'group', The Mighty Wah...


It's sinful, it's tragic...

And it's #15!

#51 is Tanita Tikaram.  I know the song, but the title escapes me :-\\

56 | Don't Want to Wait Anymore - The Tubes
58 | Perfect Kiss - New Order

#29 Bucks Fizz


I missed Bucks Fizz,  :-[

This particular song, "If You Can't Stand The Heat," was probably the last time I cared for Bucks Fizz. I first bought into
Bucks Fizz because Pete Sinfield, who co-wrote many songs with Greg Lake of ELP, was a co-writer of a few early Bucks fizz
songs. I guess it took this song's release to realize I didn't like them that much.  :P

Three more correct answers, Graham! :)

I vaguely remember "Grange Hill "...I know it was broadcasted over here as well in the days, but I couldn't give you any names of characters and/or actors/actresses.  :-\\


49. sounds like a George Michael or Wham song, although I can't think of it...   :\'(


'Tis Wham!, it is... :) Half a point for you.


59. Heartlight by Kenny Loggins?


It's actually "Welcome to Heartlight", but you got it. :)


49 is Wham!'s "Where Did Your Heart Go?"


You get the other half point for this one. This seems to be one of those #1 hits (a UK #1, that is) that you never hear on the radio anymore... :-\\


It's sinful, it's tragic...

And it's #15!


Indeed it is! :)


#51 is Tanita Tikaram.  I know the song, but the title escapes me :-\\


Tanita Tikaram, yes...Song title has a religious touch.


56 | Don't Want to Wait Anymore - The Tubes
58 | Perfect Kiss - New Order


Correct. 8) Odd, how Perfect Kiss never was a chart hit anywhere... :-\\


#60 Happy Birthday - Altered Images

couple of guesses on artists

#28 Hazel O'Connor
#29 Bucks Fizz


I'm sorry to say that #60 and #28 are incorrect... :( ...but the good news is that #29 is indeed Bucks Fizz  :)


I missed Bucks Fizz,  :-end of Bucks Fizz...
