All 6 are spot-on, btw. 8)

Love the music clip quizzes, Henk! #4... isn't that "I wanna dance with somebody" by Whitney Houston?

Ant

#26 is "What a Feeling" by Irene Cara
#31 is "Where the streets have no name" by U2

Hey Jack! What a surprise seeing you here. :)

I'll give you the above, although you left out the most important part of the title. ;)


#26 is "What a Feeling" by Irene Cara
#31 is "Where the streets have no name" by U2

...Are also correct (well, for the most part. I'm feeling lenient today).

30. WHAT A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
35. Sometimes WHEN We Touch - Dan Hill

30. WHAT A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
35. Sometimes WHEN We Touch - Dan Hill


Those are most definitely correct, Gaylon. :)

Hi Henk! Cool quiz! However, I think I only know one of the unanswered songs...

#28... "The Promise" by When In Rome.

Hi Henk


This is FB, replying as Peregrin, I am still awaiting further advice from Chuck re the FBVP reactivation:


7.  When You Walk In The Room - Searchers

11.  Anyone Who Had A Heart - Cilla Black

33.  I Did What I Did For Maria - Tony Christie    (One of my alltime faves - from the first ever record I owned!)

:)

#40 is "Right Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightengale, I believe.

Excellent quiz Henk :)

25 | Who Put the Bomp - Showaddywaddy
28 | The Promise - When in Rome
37 | Life's What You Make It - Talk Talk

28 | The Promise - When in Rome

I hate to say this, but I picked up that one first :-

Sometimes one can make all the difference, Jeff. Anyway, this one's 100% correct. :)

I believe it is too, Shannon. 8)


Excellent quiz Henk :)

28 | The Promise - When in Rome
37 | Life's What You Make It - Talk Talk


Well Jason, as Jeff pointed out: #28 was already taken.
Furthermore, for #25 you got the right artist but the wrong song (I agree, all Showaddywaddy songs tend to sound alike).
So, in all, you've only got 1.5 out of 3.

10.  I wonder why - Curtis Stivers

19. Home is Where the Heart is - Gladys Knight And The Pips

10.  I wonder why - Curtis Stivers


And to this day, so do I, Patty. ;) But you're right.


19. Home is Where the Heart is - Gladys Knight And The Pips


Hey, gimme a chance to post a reply here, will ya?

That one is correct too. :)

Allow me to attempt a crack at another 1.5

6 | The Smiths ?
12 | Soft Cell - Where the Heart Is

32 is the awesome Dean Martin (I adore him)!

The song is The Man Who Plays The Mandolino

Hey, gimme a chance to post a reply here, will ya?


Sorry.. I hadn't realized you were online.  :-*

I will try to type slower next time.

Good game as always.

34.  Where the Boys Are - Connie Francis

well at least ya'll left one that I know this time  ;D 

Hi Henk - I enjoyed this one, as always  :)

#16 Why Did You Do It - Stretch

#23 Listen to What the Man Says - Wings       
I love this song, I think it's the best thing Paul McCartney ever did with Wings.

#39 Knock Knock - Who's There? - Mary Hopkin
I think this was a UK entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, back in the days when we used to get some votes  :-\\.

Hi Henk  :) - only one from me I'm afraid at this late stage..

#27  When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics

#23 Where The Wild Roses Grow - Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave
#27 When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics...darn that Mooster.... ;)

I'll take a punt at #25 being When (by Showaddywaddy)

I can't actually listen to it because for some reason I can only get tracks 1-6 to work. Sem to recall i had this problem last time.  It happens when I try and skip through the tracks that have already been answered.  :-\\

Close, but no cigar.

And that makes it three for you too, Patty. :)

Thanks Graham! :)

I can only give you two, I'm afraid. "Listen To What The Man Said" is actually #22, and it had already been answered. :-\\


Hi Henk  :) - only one from me I'm afraid at this late stage..

#27  When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics



One is still better than none. ;)
There might be some more or less obscure songs left, I think - that's why I set the initial limit to three.


#23 Where The Wild Roses Grow - Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave
#27 When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics...darn that Mooster.... ;)


Be quick or be dead, Peter. ;)
Still, the one left is spot-on. :)

"When" is a good guess, but unfortunately not the song I'm looking for.
Here's a hint: the song title is already in this quiz. ;)

As for your problem: I have no solution at hand. Maybe someone else knows what's going on here...

Is #6 by Morrisey as a solo artiste?

Eta

Showaddywaddy also did You Got What It Takes

Is #6 by Morrisey as a solo artiste?


Indeed it is. That's half a point. :)


Eta

Showaddywaddy also did You Got What It Takes


...but that's also not what I'm looking for. :(

The song I'm looking for hit #2 in UK in 1978.

#25 I wonder why

#38 Tommy Steele

As for your problem: I have no solution at hand. Maybe someone else knows what's going on here...


If you speed through the clips before they fully load, further clips might not load properly, or will be super slow to load.  FileDen does that sometimes :(

#25 I wonder why

#38 Tommy Steele


Two halves make a whole.  8)

The limit is raised to 5.

Unfortunately, I don't recognize any others by title, but many sound very familiar

A coupla more...

#13. 'Who's Leaving Who' - Hazell Dean
#15. 'When We Were Young' - Bucks Fizz

A coupla more...

#13. 'Who's Leaving Who' - Hazell Dean
#15. 'When We Were Young' - Bucks Fizz


Those two are correct as well, Paul. :)


Hmmm...Looks like I might have to hand out hints.

#18 Sleep When I'm Dead - Bon Jovi

#38 the Tommy Steele song is called something like "Crash,  Bang, Wallop, What a Picture" - I remember it from the film "Half a Sixpence" ,which in turn was based on a novel by H.G.Wells called "Kipps". I only know that because we had to study "Kipps" in my English Literature lessons many years ago in school  :).

I know #9 but for the life of me I can't think of the name  ::)

Well, it's not a matter of life and death...and yet in a way, it is...

Doesn't make sense to you now, does it?

Hmmm...Looks like I might have to hand out hints.


Not yet! There's still a couple I know (if no-one else does!  ;))

I know #9 but for the life of me I can't think of the name  ::)


#9  When I Die - No Mercy

I was on the wrong track with Milli Van Nilli and the Enrique Igllesias,,,,,then my wife walked by and siad she liked that song When I Die by No Mercy... :o  Hey, I'm typing this so I claim full credit.... ;D

A guess on the band for #8  Sounds like a boy band with older style music (early 90's??)

Could #8 be New Kids On The Block??  No idea of their song titles.....

And could #21 be The Nolan Sisters?? (my wifes guess)

Yes, yes and yes.  :)

I'll give you credit, Peter, 'cause in marriage, what's hers is yours. ;)

Yes, yes and yes.  :)

Thanks Henk...now, can you tell my wife that? ;)

Thanks Henk...now, can you tell my wife that? ;)


If she doesn't know by now, you married the wrong woman. ;)


You can tell your wife the limit's off now. ::)

The song for #8 is 'Call it What You Want'.  I don't know the song, but I did a NKOTB poll awhile ago, and I remember the song titles (took me close to 2 hours to research and make that poll, so I should remember them LOL)

It is indeed. :)

I'm a bit shocked that you don't know it. It did chart in Canada, didn't it?  ???

I'll see what I can pull from the wreckage...after that, it's clue time!  :D

#14. 'I Am What I Am' - Greyhound
#20. 'Tell Me What He Said' - Helen Shapiro
#21. Title is 'Who's Gonna Rock You'...sounds a bit 'modern' for The Nolans, probably a remix/re-recording!
#29. Artist is unmistakably Frankie Laine, but I'm not familiar with the song... :-\\
#36. 'You're The Reason Why' - Rubettes
and the title of #38. is 'What A Mouth (What A North And South) which, to be fair to Graham, does sound like a close relative to 'Flash Bang Wallop'...

Doesn't look like there's an awful lot left, Paul... ;)

What can I say? You got 'em all correct. :)

The #21 song is indeed a remix, I'm afraid. Couldn't find the original version, but it doesn't matter for the purpose of this quiz.

I'm not familiar with Tommy Steele's repertoire. I'm sorry if I may have confused people with that clipping.

You'll find most people in this day and age aren't familiar with his repertoire!  :D

And despite 'Flash Bang Wallop' being probably his most recognised song, it never charted!

Hints are out for the remaining questions (two halves and a whole).

Rather than drag things out, I did 'cheat' a little and browsed my 'bible' with the clues...

(I had to, as the songs were totally unfamiliar to me!  :-[)

#2. 'That's Why I'm Crying' - Ivy League
#29. 'Where The Winds Blow' is the title

(I'll let someone else tackle the Morrissey number!  ;))

Well, in your defense: of the three Top 40 hits the Ivy League managed to score, this was their least successful.
And as for the Frankie Laine one...you weren't around in 1953. ;)

If anybody wants to have a go at the remaining half, they'd better be quick...

Time's up. You've all done a great job, missing just one:


06. A UK #17 hit from 1992, about jealousy and envy.
        We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful




I'm off now for about two weeks, enjoying my holiday. Thanks for playing and see you soon. :)
