A few helpful tips:

1) Part 1 (Items 1-25) are worth one point each.  Part 2 (26-50) are worth two points each.  The songs in part 2 are not any more obscure, but the clips are much shorter.

2) Each clip is from the beginning of the song.  Part 1 generally gives you the whole intro, Part 2 is just a couple seconds.

3) There isn't time in between clips to post... so you may want to have a pen & paper handy, or be prepared to hit pause.

4) The images in the video are for keeping track of what number you're on.  They are NOT clues.

Limit 5, for now.  Answers will be in the following post - in case anyone wants to take it without seeing any answers.


Enjoy!

4 is completely right... on 3, you have the right song, but I think you may have confused the artist with "Just Once".

7. Brothers in arms - Dire straits

9 . Different drum - Stone Poneys with the very beautiful Linda Ronstadt at vocals
10. Synchronicity II - Police


These are all correct! :)

3 - just the two of us - James ingram
4. five o'clock world - vogues


Grover washington Jr. is the singer of #3, not James Ingram. My bad.

#41. 'Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind' - Lovin' Spoonful

(Nice picture of a Number 38 bus in the montage...I see those every day!  :D)

Nice variety of selections here, Andrea!! I was able to figure out quite a few of the unanswered ones, especially from the second half! Here are some of them.

#6 = "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora.
#15 = "Santeria" by Sublime.
#28 = "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay.
#37 = "Tenderness" by General Public.
#44 = "Magic" by Olivia Newton John!


Like I said, I know several others, but this uses up my limit for now.

Thanks, Paul!  Don't worry about showing your age... I have these in my mp3 library too :)  Anyways, 14, 17, 27, 41 are right.  I've actually never heard of "April Love" though... I'm guessing it must have an identical opening... but 34 is a different song & different artist.

Good job, nally!!  All are correct.  I'll lift the limit once all the regular quiz-takers have had a chance... probably 2-3 days...

On second listening, it IS almost note-for-note identical!

But the one you're looking for is 'Where The Boys Are' - Connie Francis

Yep, that's the one!!  :D

knew 18  I'll try again later

#17. 'The Way You Look Tonight' - Lettermen




This is actually rather impressive.  This song has been covered soooo many times... I wasn't going to nitpick about the artist (any valid one would do), but you picked the one in my clip without even hearing a voice!!

Not sure if any are right.  ;D

#30 Wasted Time-Eagles
#31 Still the Same-Bob Seager
#40 Wild World-Cat Stevens
#45 Suspicious Minds-Elvis
#50 Light My Fire-The Doors

This was the first version that I'd heard many years ago (I didn't know it was something of a standard even then) and consequently, that haunting intro has burned itself indelibly onto my memory! (The voices ain't bad either!)

2. Voulez Vous (not sure I spelt that right)

13. Sometimes when we touch - Dan Hill

19. Fanny (be tender with my love?) - Bee Gees

22. Sister Christian - Night Ranger

29. George Harrison

33. Eye in the sky - Alan Parsons Project

I'm pretty sure she knows it too, but she was also at her limit.  She had done a 1/2 answer with Voulez-Vous so she could only give half of 29 lol

Yep that is correct, although I miscounted with my score, I went over by 1/2.  :-[  Bad!  Bad Patty! (smacks self on hand)

No, you were good... limit 5 is five songs, not 5 points. :)

Ah, and 16 is America's "All The Loney People".

Been there, done that.  I've did 2 YouTube quizzes on here before

Darnit, all the ones from the second half have been answered...and I knew a number of items from there. Not sure about the remaining items though. :-\\

I know the song for #23, just can't think of the title /artist.
It might be Air supply, just as I am?

Maybe not, but any way the wind blows comes to mind      11 Bohemian Rapsody Queen

No, sorry...

Not sure if you saw the clue I added for that, the title is also the name of a former British comedy series... if that helps..

that's okay,  I saw the clue but I don't know song facts.

thanks; I don't even know those two songs myself, so I wouldn't've gotten 'em. :-\\

I just could not place the comedy show song.

I would never have guessed the last two. Although I do know that artists.
Great quiz. Thanks for doing it.

I thought #8 sounded familiar

Do you know that song?  It's a really familiar one to me but I wasn't sure how well known it actually is.

When I make quizzes, I guess I sort of have certain people in mind for some of the less common songs, who I think will know them.  #8 was totally a loki13 one... but he never came to this quiz...

I do actually, but hadn't heard it in a while.  It wasn't a big hit for him here in his native land, but it did chart which is pretty much all a Canadian singer has to do to get on Canadian radio

It was played quite a bit on our local rock station, but I've found that a few songs seem to have only been popular regionally, since nobody else seems to know of them.  I never really paid much attention to charts, so if I heard something alot on the radio, I'd assume it was a hit.
