Thanks Graham, Peter and Kevin. :) Your answers are all correct. 8)

BTW: Nick Heyward ending up twice in the "D" section was purely coincidental.

Thank you Karen. :) ...and you recognised correctly. Maybe the others will come to you later.

B41  About A Girl - Nirvana

D68  Rockin' Robin - Michael Jackson  ???


Hello Amanda, and thank you. :)
I can give you three... D68 is indeed Rockin' Robin, but not the (more popular) version by Michael Jackson.

A47. M-m-max Headroom?  ;)
A48. Anywhere is
B45. Bonnie Tyler?
C46. Roberta Flack - Feel Like Makin' Love, also done by D'Angelo

A47. "Paranormia" by Art Of Noise(w/M-M-Max Headroom)
B44. originally done by The Drifters
D60. "Blue Monday" by Domino

And since "Blue Monday", "Another Saturday Night", and "One Fine Day" were redone later, I'm guessing Zugabe is the German word for "Cover"?

Your Pal,
Doc

A41 - Somewhere in My Heart - Azted Camera
C49 - Groovin' (Out on Life) - UB40
D44 - Make Luv Get Down Saturday Night - Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham

Hiya Patty! :)

Let's see... You got A48 correct, and you've also got the title and original artist for C46. Now I'd like to know who's performing this cover version.


A47. "Paranormia" by Art Of Noise(w/M-M-Max Headroom)
B44. originally done by The Drifters
D60. "Blue Monday" by Domino

Hey Doc! 8)

I can give you points for A47 and D60, but none for B44. And "Zugabe" doesn't mean "Cover", I'm afraid. :(


A41 - Somewhere in My Heart - Azted Camera
C49 - Groovin' (Out on Life) - UB40
D44 - Make Luv Get Down Saturday Night - Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham
D50 - The Day Before You Came - Blancmange (Originally by ABBA)


Hello Jason! :)

You got those all correct. 8) No bonus points for D50, I'm afraid...But maybe you can tell me the original artist for C49? ???

I totally forgot it was a cover song, which is strange since it appeared on "Labour of Love II", their 2nd all covers album.  I actually don't know who originally sang it, but I anxiously await the answer 8)

Oh and I assume you realized I made a typo on Aztec Camera ;)

was UB40s version of Groovin' popular in NL?  I know it was a minor chart single in the US and it finally made it's first ever compilation appearance on UB40's 2008 'Greatest Hits' album

Not including mini-compilation releases prior to 1984, 'Greatest Hits' marked their 4th best of album, which to me seemed pointless as they should have just done a 'Greatest Hits - Volume III' to include all their hits after 1995 (Which was when 'Greatest Hits - Volume II' was released).  Oh well, being the UB40 fan that I am, I must own all their CDs, no matter how pointless they may be lol

Since all the other D songs contain Day in the title perhaps #68 is by somebody Day.  The only singer I know is Darren Day

was UB40s version of Groovin' popular in NL?  I know it was a minor chart single in the US and it finally made it's first ever compilation appearance on UB40's 2008 'Greatest Hits' album


UB 40 had a total of 32 Top 40 hits, including 19 Top 10 hits. Of those 19, five went all the way to #1.
Groovin' only got to #18, so not really a big hit for the boys, but still it was more popular than the original version (that did absolutely nothing over here).

Correct on the last name, but not on the first. :(

Need some encouragement...? ??? OK, the limit is now set at 7. 8)

Three more from 'A'...

A42. 'Alice I Want You Just For Me' - Full Force
A45. 'Are You Ready To Rock' - Wizzard
A49. 'A Touch Too Much' - Arrows

C'mon people...Don't let me down! :(

B48 sounds a bit like Sisters of Mercy. But I don't recognise the song.

D 51 sounds like Feargal Sharkey singing but it might be himas The Undertones

B46 - Beat Surrender, the final single from The Jam
D47 - Hooray! Hooray! (It's A Holi-Holiday) - Boney M

D52 sounds like Andy williams....

B48 sounds a bit like Sisters of Mercy. But I don't recognise the song.


'Tis indeed the Sisters of Mercy. Song title includes the (result of the) chemical process that erodes metals. Most commonly, it's referred to as rust.


D 51 sounds like Feargal Sharkey singing but it might be himas The Undertones


It's Feargal Sharkey in The Undertones, yes. :)


B46 - Beat Surrender, the final single from The Jam
D47 - Hooray! Hooray! (It's A Holi-Holiday) - Boney M


Hooray! :D


D52 sounds like Andy williams....


Does it? :-\\





























That's because it is! :P ;)

It's Oxidising ???

It's Oxidising ???


No, sorry... :( A good guess though.

I think the Undertones song at D51 is "Wednesday Week".

D66 is driving me mad, I'm sure I know this but the song just won't come to mind!

B42 is Lady Elenore by Lindisfarne (great song!)
D69 is Everyday by Slade

Your answers are all correct, Graham. :)

As for D66...it was a UK #14 and US #40 hit for the group in 1980 - but then they had a change of heart... ;)


I'm guessing Corrosion??


Close enough. :) It's actually This Corrosion. Sadly not a Top 40 hit in UK or US.

Limit is off now. Fire away.

That Rockin Robin one (forget which number it is).  It suddenly occured to me last night that we don't hear anyone singing so it might be a female singer.  Doris Day?

I hate to disappoint you once again, Karen...but it's not Doris Day. :( I'm looking for a male singer, who shares his first name with one of the long time (UK) members of this board. Not around as much as he used to be, but still well respected and much loved.

Sorry to swoop...but that would have to be Bobby Day.

Well thanks for the clue Henk....

D66 is Lover's Holiday by Change.

I used to love Change back in the day - wasn't Luther Vandross part of this group?

I must have had a sort of split personality in the late 70s and early 80s. I was a big fan of The Clash and Talking Heads, also heavy rock bands like AC/DC, Motorhead and Rush, yet I still loved the music of groups like Change, Chic and Earth, Wind and Fire. Thinking back, it explains why I used to get in arguments with my friends who were exclusively in one camp or the other.

It most certainly is! :)

Correct, Graham.  :) And you're right about Luther Vandross as well - he did vocals for Change on various of their 1970s songs.

Nothing wrong with having a broad taste of music IMHO.

I'll pick off what I know, Henk...

A51. 'Tomorrow Night' - Atomic Rooster
C47. Tune is 'Reflections Of My Life' (originally by Marmalade, but heaven knows who this is!)
C52. 'Respect Yourself' - Bruce Willis (originally The Staple Singers)
D48. 'The Day The Rains Came' - Jane Morgan
D54. 'What Are You Doing Sunday?' - Dawn
D55. 'Everything's Tuesday' - Chairmen Of The Board
D59. 'Stairway Of Love' - Michael Holliday (really had to 'punish' the memory cells for this! Ditto for D64...)
D61. 'Hallelujah Day' - Jackson Five
D64. 'Every Day Of My Life' - Malcolm Vaughan
D67. The tune is 'Never On Sunday', but in common with C47, I've no idea who's playing it!

An impressive score there, Paul... I counted nine correct answers in total, plus two bonus points.  :)

OK, so I uncluded some 1950's songs this time... :P Not entirely fair, because hardly any of us was around back then and you don't get to hear these songs on the radio anymore (let alone tv).

The artist for D67...If I told you the artist in question has a singing daughter by the name of Nikka, would that help you in any way? ::)

As for D59...I admit, the cover version of the song presumably only hit the charts in my country (yes, we're odd like that). It's a Jamaican duo, and one half had an international hit with "Sideshow".
People should really be paying more attention to my previous posts...especially in this thread.

And to quote from that there thread...


Barry Biggs & Ruddy Thomas did a cover of the Marmalade song "Reflections Of My Life".


Such is the way of the board, that I can hardly keep up with my own posts, Henk!  :-\\
