Subject: "Baby"licious Lyrics Quiz [ANSWERS REVEALED]

Written By: Henk on 04/16/10 at 5:01 pm

Time for a new lyrics quiz, don’tcha agree?
These songs (that all made Dutch Top 40) have the word ‘Baby’ in their title.
Just give me the title and artist, please. In most cases, I’m looking for the original artist.
There’s a few however that were made more successful by other artists (in Holland, anyway).
And then there’s about 3 or 4 that you might have a hard time recognizing (or maybe don’t know at all).
Good luck anyway. And please, no cheating
.


Limit = OFF now. Enjoy!  :)



Scores so far:
7.0  mooster / Paul
5.0  whistledog
4.0  Frank / gibbo / Midas
3.5  maddog
3.0  karen
2.5  snozberries
2.0  nally
1.0  Gaylon




Hints!
06. This US trio had two #1 hits in UK, but this particular song only made it to #13. They're not related, although their name suggests otherwise.Walker Brothers]
13. The singer can be heard on "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", although it's not her in the video.
17. UK dance/breakbeat act (originally five, now down to three) that formed in 1990. They had two #1 hits in UK in 1996.
     This song reached #5 in 2002. They like rohypnol.
18. One of two songs with this title (see also #47). If you substitute the first letter of the singer's last name for a C, you get the ultimate man in black Johnny Nash].
19. Winners of the ESC for UK in the 1970's Brotherhood Of Man]. This song, released prior to their win, did not make Top 40 in UK.
27. They started out with Prince and also sing about cascades.
30. British group with tons of hits in the 1960's and 1970's. You can probably find them at the bus stop.Hollies]
31. They were husband and wife before she launched a hugely successful solo career Ike & Tina Turner]. This song only made #88 in US.

     He also teamed up with Jenny Burton on "Nobody Loves Me Like I Do". This particular song, that didn't chart in UK or US,
     played in on the craze of the day (ca. 1979): a dance that required heavy hip (inter)action.

45. She likes your smile. But have you got the groove?

I can give you full points for #24 and #25, Peter.
Oddly enough, it wasn't Nancy Sinatra who scored a hit with #7 in Holland, so I'm looking for another singer. Can you think of anyone else?
And as for #21: that's actually a duet.

Though Timi Yuro is the original artist for #13, it's not her I'm looking for. Another singer covered it in the (very) late 1970's, taking it to #7 in Holland.

Sadly, my knowledge of the song only stretches to Timi's version... :-\\

13 might be Ellen Foley, I know her voice is there in that song. She was also on Night Court I think.

I wondered if it was The Bump dance you were talking about, but 1979 seemed a bit late for a song on that dance.

Well, these things happen. I always try to use a line that hasn't been used before, as not to make things too easy. ;)

I don't blame you (or anyone else for that matter) for not knowing Odia Coates. But you might wanna give the Walker Brothers or The Tremeloes a listen (not necessarily these songs, though).
As for the other songs/artists... you can't know 'em all. It happens to me too.
