Hello Kevin! :) Nice seeing you again.

You got a perfect score there. 8)

Hi there Henk  :)

A lot of tough ones in here especially those TV themes which are hard! Here's my 5 guesses:

1977 Hits
#63 Lust For Life - Iggy Pop

Dutch Top 40
#50 Slippery People - Talking Heads
#57 Fu-Gee-La - The Fugees

Up & Under
#61 Pump Up The Jam - Technotronic
#63 Coming Up - Paul McCartney

Great quiz Henk!  I'm surprisingly emotional about one of the tv themes.  Since the show ended I feel like I lost a friend!  Weird, huh?

S is for Se7ens - 1977 Hits
50. Sideshow - Blue Magic  (although the one in your quiz sounds like a reggae remake?)


#7 Hits (in Dutch Top 40)
60.  Never tear us apart - INXS


T is for TV Themes, Tunes and Things
104. Rescue 911
107.  The Munsters!  
110. Match Game

#52 | Japanese Boy - Aneka

TV Themes
#114 was from a short lived game show in 1980 called 'Bullseye' as hosted by the great Jim Lange
#118 was the Season 1 theme (excluding the pilot episode) of 'Beverly Hills, 90210'
#125 was the 70s theme from the $10,000, $20,000 $25,000 and $50,000 Pyramid.  A different (and better) version was used in 1982 when it returned to daytime as The New $25,000 Pyramid.  I was a loyal fan of this show as a kid 8)

Hiya Graham! :)

You've got 4.5 from 5 here. I'm afraid #61 isn't Pump Up The Jam, though it is Technotronic.


Great quiz Henk!  I'm surprisingly emotional about one of the tv themes.  Since the show ended I feel like I lost a friend!  Weird, huh?


Thank you Patty. :) I always hope to bring back some (childhood) memories, but making people cry isn't what I aim for...

You can still have a listen. You'll have to wait until I increase the limit before you can answer one (or more) of them, though.

Hi Henk. I'm back.

'77 Hits

#54....I'm Your Boogie Man.....KC And The Sunshine Band?


Up And Under

#52...Under The Boardwalk....Bette Midler?

#62...I've Got You Under My Skin....Frank Sinatra?

#106 TV Themes is 'Press Your Luck' with the late great Peter Tommarken

#52. She's a lady?

Hi Henk

Here's some more guesses and "tidy ups" from me:

1977 hits

#52 Ain't Gonna Bump No More With No Big Fat Woman - Joe Tex
I'm not sure you could get away with these lyrics these days!

Up and Under

#52 the song is "Under the Boardwalk" but I don't know the artist
#57 the singer sounds like Jakki Graham but I don't recognise the song
#61 The Technotronic song must be "Get Up" but I don't know who featured on this track. Somewhere from the back of my mind I have dredged up "Technotronic featuring Felly" - is that it???

Hi Henk. I'm back.


So I see. ;)


'77 Hits

#54....I'm Your Boogie Man.....KC And The Sunshine Band?


Up And Under

#52...Under The Boardwalk....Bette Midler?

#62...I've Got You Under My Skin....Frank Sinatra?


That's another 2.5 to add to your tally. For #52, you got the wrong artist. :(

#106 TV Themes is 'Press Your Luck' with the late great Peter Tommarken


That is correct. :)

And FYI: #115 is Canadian. ;)


S is for se7en - 1977 hits

#52. She's a lady?


Unfortunately, that's incorrect.


U is for Up and Under
56. Word up - Cameo


But you got that one, Patty! :)


#64. Call Up The Groups ~ The Barron Knights


Argh. Another one of those "right artist, wrong song" ones. :( I think this was one of their less successful songs.

Hi Henk

Here's some more guesses and "tidy ups" from me:

1977 hits

#52 Ain't Gonna Bump No More With No Big Fat Woman - Joe Tex
I'm not sure you could get away with these lyrics these days!


Correct, Graham! :)


Up and Under

#52 the song is "Under the Boardwalk" but I don't know the artist


That's right, but Kevin beat you to it. :(


#57 the singer sounds like Jakki Graham but I don't recognise the song


It is indeed Jaki Graham. :)


#61 The Technotronic song must be "Get Up" but I don't know who featured on this track. Somewhere from the back of my mind I have dredged up "Technotronic featuring Felly" - is that it???


It's not Felly featuring on this song, but you got the right song.

That is correct. :)

And FYI: #115 is Canadian. ;)


#115 doesn't ring any bells I don't think.  Sounds almost like Long John Baldry, but I know I am wrong

TBH, I've no idea who the singer is. :-\\

Is it time to bring the hints out already? :-\\

Quiet in here. Where's Paul..? :-\\


Thought I'd hold back on this occasion...

Se7ens #56. 'Requiem' - Slik (wonder if Midge ever sings this these days?  :D)
          #59. 'Goodbye My Love' (I'll guess that this is The Searchers, although it sounds a bit 'modern' compared to my copy!)
          #63. 'Everybody Knows' - Dave Clark Five

Up And Under #51. 'A Wonderful Time Up There' - Alvin Stardust
                    #53. 'Rip It Up' - Bill Haley & His Comets
                    #60. 'Under One Roof' - Rubettes (a very brave song to release at the time...)
                    #64. 'Under New Management' (sadly, it appears one of the original Knights, Duke D'Mond, passed away recently... :()

No need to hold back.

A nearly perfect score, Paul. I'm afraid the "Up and Under" song #53 is incorrect (both on title and artist).
Other than that... a great job again! :)

I might've used a re-recorded version of the Searchers's song here, I'm not sure. But it didn't fool you! :D

A nearly perfect score, Paul. I'm afraid the "Up and Under" song #53 is incorrect (both on title and artist).


Wow! I'll have to knuckle down and listen again!  :o

Ah! Got it now!

It's 'Giddy Up A Ding-Dong' - Freddie Bell & The Bell Boys

...who, in my defence, did model themselves on Bill Haley & His Comets!

(Believe that and you'll believe anything!  ;))

Correctamundo!  :)

I'm really surprised some of he TV ones are yet to be answered... :-\\


Guess I need to start working on some hints.

I've added hints.


Limit is still 8 though. ;)

S is for Se7ens - #7 Hits (in Dutch Top 40)
#58. The singer is Neil Diamond

Up And Under...#52. artist is Tom Tom Club
                      and I've answered #53, but you must've missed it! (See previous page)

In my defense: you've modified your earlier reply instead of posting a new one. I only check for new replies.

That said, you were right of course with #53, and now you're right about #52.

That is correct, Philip. :)

Thanks, that puts me on 8 and Now I play the waiting game

DOH!


#115 is Street Legal, Canada's answer to L.A. Law.  I never really watched this show, so the theme would never have come to me without hints LOL

I knew I recognized it ...
#120 is the 80s verison of 'Let's Make A Deal' that wasn't hosted by Monty Hall :P

without listening to any

#103 Round the Twist

#123 Keeping Up Appearances


and that Coopers Crossing name seems familiar :-\\

Street Legal it is! :)
Although the tune was labelled 'Street Legal' I wasn't quite sure at first whether it was indeed the right tune. Somehow it just didn't seem to fit the series... Found out (via YouTube) that this was in fact the seasons 1 & 2 opening theme only.

No 'zonk' for you, Jason.  ;)

#103 Round the Twist


A good guess, but no.  :( I believe I already used that tune in my original TV Tunes quiz, btw.


#123 Keeping Up Appearances


That is correct. :)

You need a plane to get there.

That would be correct Karen


Three more from me:

#103  Maddigan's Quest

#108  Farscape

#122  Medivac ?

And indeed it is.

I wasn't sure anyone (even you guys down under) would recognize #103, but I'm glad I'm proven wrong. ;)

#108 is correct too, but #122 isn't Medivac. The patients in this series were - by definition - always under a certain age.

I want this one finished before I go on vacation (next Saturday) so I'm gonna remove the limit.

Spot-on! :)  This was the only tune I could lay my hands on. The series in question may have aired in US alone, I'm not sure.

Heh! You didn't fool me for a second with your postings on the 70s YouTube thread, Henk... ;)

(Once again, believe that and you'll believe anything!  :D)

So here they are...

Not GH, no. The series is set in Oakdale. ;)

Well, I can clear up the 'audio' side of things for you, Henk...

Up And Under #54. 'Clean Up Your Own Back Yard' - Elvis Presley

...and the featured vocalist on #61. is Ya Kid K

Sadly, I'm not an avid TV watcher, so someone else will have to complete the TV section...sorry!

Sadly...? You really ain't missing that much! ;)

OK, since I'm off on vacation later today and I won't be around for another two weeks... here's what you missed:

TV Tunes, Themes & Things
119. is the theme tune to 'Only Fools And Horses'
124. is the theme tune for 'Salute Your Shorts" - I'm sure the series have been mentioned around here.
126. is the 2002 to 2007 version of the opening tune of 'As The World Turns'. I couldn't use any of the earlier ones without giving away the title LOL.
