You had me stumped there... I had never even heard of Eddie Waring.  So I had to google search to find out what you meant. "It's an up and under" is one of Mr. Waring's catchphrases, I understand?  ???

That's five correct answers, Karen. :) Unfortunately, the limit is four. :(

Another excellent quiz Henk!

4 Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

The thing is loading really slow for me so I will be back to get more when there might be less traffic perhaps? 8)

That's right.  And it was the start of the Six Nations rugby competition today so I thought it had inspired you.

Sowwee.  Got carried away.  Which one do you want to give to someone else?

Hi Henk, I had 4 but Tam beat me to the punch so I'll try 3 for now and
come back for the fourth.

#9...Straight Up...Paula abdul?

#27...Under Pressure....Queen/David Bowie?

#30...All Shook Up....Elvis Presley?

I could lend you one of mine!

Rugby is really not a big sport over here - hardly gets any coverage. I'm not particularly fond of it, either, so I don't mind.
Had I known about Mr. Waring, though...I most certainly would have used his catchphrase.

You get credit for all, just not five points. ;)

Bah!  I'd just worked out the title to this one.  I'd written it as 'Down, Down'.  And then remembered the theme!

#17. Call Up The Groups ~ The Barron Knights
#19. Don't Give Up ~ Peter Gabriel And Kate Bush
#21. Message Understood ~ Sandie Shaw
#23. From The Underworld  ~ The Herd

BTW, probably Call Up The Groups by The Barron Knights was my first single, given to me as a present.

#34 is "Over UNDER Sideways Down" by the Yardbirds

Great quiz, Henk. I wish I knew one of the remaining answers.  :-Ant

It most definitely is, Gaylon. :)

Great quiz, Henk. I wish I knew one of the remaining answers.  :-Ant




Thanks, Jack. :) ...and better luck next time. With each quiz, I try to make a diverse mix of artists/eras/styles, and sometimes that means I have to use more obscure songs. ;)

Another wonderful quiz Henk.  You are full of so many ideas!

13. Under the Milky Way Tonight - The Church

25. The Underground (from the movie Labyrinth) by David Bowie  (Love love love that movie)

39.  Build me up Buttercup - The Foundations (I think)

Thank you, Patty. :) It's not always easy to come up with new ideas (AND songs that I haven't used before) though... :-\\

Your two answers are spot-on! 8)

lol Sorry Henk, I snuck another guess in while you were grading my answers...

39.  Build me up Buttercup - The Foundations (I think)


37. sounds like Santana...but I can't place the song....

48. Under my thumb but it's not the Rollings Stones version....

#39 is correct, and you've got the right song for #48.

I'm afraid #37 isn't Santana. :(

The clips are running painfully slow for me, so this is the best I could get at the moment ...

8 | Underneath Your Clothes - Shakira
18 | Up and Down - Vengaboys
26 | Pump Up the Volume - M/A/R/R/S

44 sounds like Jimmy Somerville, so a guess would be a song by The Communards?

As always, a fantastic quiz Henk :)

I blame FileDen...

Those three are correct, Jason. :)

I don't think he was involved in this project... No, it's not the Communards. This was a hit about 9 years prior to Communards surfacing.


As always, a fantastic quiz Henk :)


Thank you sir. 8)

I blame FileDen...


As do I.  Sometimes FileDen is fast, othertimes it's slower than a slug lol
I miss the other site that came before FileDen.  It was lightning fast all the time, but then it became a pay site if I remember :\'(

I'm still hoping FileCabin is gonna come back...Well, it is up and running, but you can't upload music files anymore...Every time I try it it says "section comming soon" *

...Yeah, right! >:(



* I did not intentionally or unintentionally misspell "coming"...this is exactly what it says.

There was also FileLodge, the one that Bobby used to swear by.  It has also fallen the same way.  FileDen is our last hope, and I hope it don't fall the same way.  Once you make an audio quiz, going back to making a lyrics quiz just isn't the same

LOL! I hadn't even noticed... ;D

Of course that should be Men at Work. Men Without Hats is a completely different (Canadian) band, who had an international hit with "The Safety Dance".

Men at Work without Hats would be a safety hazzard.  Hard Helmets are to always be worn on a construction site ;D

I was surprised to find that Gilbert Bécaud hit the #10 spot in UK with that song. :o

Welcome to my quiz, gibbo! :) I know, I should know your first name by now... :-[...haven't been paying much attention, have I?

Your answers are spot-on. The Smokie song was one of the more obscure ones in this quiz. It failed to chart over here, and it didn't make Top 40 in UK either. Was it a hit down under, by any chance? ???

That's okay Henk. I've only just given my name recently. It's Peter by the way.  I only discovered this quiz yesterday and there's not much left to get! I recognized Smokies sound and then saw Philip's response (confirming my own thought). I then checked all Smokie's songs and there were only two with the word 'up' in them. I guessed the right one. Never heard it in Australia (and I was a Smokie fan). Cheers

Hi again Henk...

#44. 'Uptown Festival' - a very early incantation of Shalamar
#45. 'I Understand' - the only two versions I know are by the G-Clefs and Freddie & The Dreamers, which don't sound like this one!

Three for three, Paul. :)

I was looking for Freddie & the Dreamers for #45, and I must say that I had my doubts about this version being their rendition. Nevertheless, it was labelled as such... :-\\ Same thing that happened to me a while ago, with "I Like To Teach The World To Sing", if I'm not mistaken. I really should stop using songs that I'm not familiar with.

Some groups (especially 60s groups) have a habit of re-recording their earlier works, so it may have been a 'kosher' label, even if the performance wasn't!

And I enjoy making them. :)

There's still a few questions left...and I think you still have some answers. I believe #31 is one of your all time favourites. ::) Maybe I should remove the limit completely.

Did I get the artist for #42 wrong?

No, I  just forgot to add it. :-[

Hi there Henk - only a few left that I know...

#6  Deeper Underground - Jamiroquai
#28 It's Grim Up North - The KLF  (which mentions both my home town, Southport, and where I live now, Cheadle Hulme)
#33 don't recognise the song but it sounds like Gilbert O'Sullivan singing it

Hi Graham! :) Glad you could make it in time.

Your answers are all correct. The Gilbert O'Sullivan song only just reached UK Top 40, maybe that's why you don't recognize it.
You must feel honored to have both your home town and your domicile mentioned in one song... ::)

Limit is off, and hints are out... :)

Is #33 title something like Under The Blanket You Must go?

I'll take a guess at

31 Leap Up and Down and Wave Your Knickers in the Air

Is #33 title something like Under The Blanket You Must go?


Close enough...it's "Underneath The Blanket Go" but you get half the point anyway. :)

You guessed right, Karen! :) Half a point for the title. Can you remember what guise he used for this song? ???

Sorry, that video is loading incredibly slow... I'll give it a try later.

"Under The Table" isn't a bad song either. I'm suprised the band didn't make it bigger.

Last knockings...and from the clues I'll guess at...

#32. Artist is Middle Of The Road (No idea of the song, if it ain't 'Chirpy', I don't wanna know!)

#46. Artist is Love Unlimited, I'll guess at 'Under The Influence Of Love' as the title (as I know they had an album out by that name)

#48. Artist is Wayne Gibson (I actually did know this!) which charted in Britain a good ten years after its original release...

#50. Artist is Clout (see #32., but replace 'Chirpy' with 'Substitute'!)

All answers are correct, Paul. :)

I figured you'd know Wayne Gibson (even without the clues)... If I'm not mistaken, though, he originally recorded the song in 1966 but it didn't chart until 1974.

Both Middle Of The Road and Clout were surprisingly popular over here..
MOTR were the first group since the Beatles to score three consecutive #1 hits over here. :o They had 8 Top 40 hits in total, 7 of which made Top 10...and yes, this was one of those 7.
Clout had 4 Top 40 hits (including this song). Apart from the #2 hit "Substitute" they also hit Top 10 with "Save Me" in 1979.

Yes, I knew they had a following of sorts in most of Europe...it was their original stomping ground!

Only five hits here (three of which were probably your #1s)...after that, I'm having trouble!  :-Clout had 4 Top 40 hits (including this song). Apart from the #2 hit "Substitute" they also hit Top 10 with "Save Me" in 1979.


Just 'Substitute' here (which was originally recorded by the Righteous Brothers of all people, but I'm sure that's not gonna get me extra points!  ;))
