Subject: Henk's F.A.Q. - Volume 3 [LIMIT NOW OFF - LAST ANSWERS GIVEN]
Written By: Henk on 10/01/09 at 10:26 am
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/2/17/785141/HenksFAQ.png
Ah, what the heck... Might as well throw in VOLUME 3 of my Final Audio Quiz as well! :D
All songs in this quiz (volumes 1 to 5) are taken from the Top 2000 (2008 edition),
a yearly list compiled by listeners of Radio 2 (Dutch radio station).
There's songs from the 1940's to the 2000's, there's hits and there's album tracks...
I hope you enjoy listening (but please don't forget to answer!). :)
LIMIT = OFF. And please.. no cheating.
BONUS POINTS!
I'm sorry to tell you that there will be no more bonus points.
Not a lot of people seemed to be interested, and frankly I don't feel like it too.
Hints!
108. The singer died in an airplane crash in 1967, along with most of his Bar-Kays. He's recalling some of his nocturnal escapades.
113. Surprisingly, not a hit in UK or US, but a #6 in Holland for this legendary US band, known for their 'surf' sound.
They're crying before noon.
117. Canadian singer (first name is the same as Luke Goss's twin brother, last name is also the title of an album by The The) (Matt Dusk), with a cover
of a U2 song dedicated to Frank Sinatra.
138. To my surprise, this wasn't a Top 40 hit in UK. The Irish singer died in 1986 as a result of a drug overdose. (Phil Lynott)
The song was covered by The Corrs. It's an ancient city - quite literally.
140. I'm not a fan of this Canadian singer, who doesn't appear to be very popular abroad. You might know his songs "People Gotta Move"
or "Wild Horses". This song, however, is the title track of one of his albums.
143. I'm not surprised you don't know this one. It only reached #78... in US Country Singles chart. I'll give you the title.
144. Voluptuous country singer with her own amusement park. This 1983 song was a surprise #1 hit in Holland, not a hit elsewhere.
It shares its (two word) title with a Lionel Richie song that came out the same year.
145. A UK #1 and a US #8, and yet no one seems to remember it. That's even sadder than this tear-jerker of a song!
It is Marian's most favorite song, performed by her most favorite duo.
146. This UK singer with a strange effect was the only artist ever to have four songs in Dutch Top 40 at the same time.
This song (about this exact moment in time) wasn't one of those four.

I knew the voice of #140 sounded familiar. It is Gino Vannelli. I don't recognize the song though. I am not too familiar with his 70s work to be honest, I can guess 'Powerful People'?

Matt Dusk is correct - and the song is actually the title track of the album you mentioned.
Is Matt Dusk known in NL?
To be honest, I'd never heard of him until this quiz. His albums did pretty well, but he's had no success with his singles.

I've Got Dreams To Remember - Otis Redding (sorry - no video)
113. Surprisingly, not a hit in UK or US, but a #6 in Holland for this legendary US band, known for their 'surf' sound.
They're crying before noon.
Tears In The Morning - Beach Boys
117. Canadian singer (first name is the same as Luke Goss's twin brother, last name is also the title of an album by The The) (Matt Dusk), with a cover

138. To my surprise, this wasn't a Top 40 hit in UK. The Irish singer died in 1986 as a result of a drug overdose. (Phil Lynott)
The song was covered by The Corrs. It's an ancient city - quite literally.
Old Town - Phil Lynott
