For this quiz, I start in Canada, and travel to Australia (and New Zealand).  All songs in the Australia/NZ quiz were chart hits in Canada.  All songs in the Canadian quiz found success in the charts outside of Canada, and if you wonder why there are so few, the reason being I will split them up for future quizzes.

Those 4 are correct.  I didn't think #2 would get solved so easy.  'I Believe' is somewhat of a forgotten song despite peaking at #7 in Canada and #33 in the US

Those 4 are correct.  I didn't think #2 would get solved so easy.  'I Believe' is somewhat of a forgotten song despite peaking at #7 in Canada and #33 in the US

"I believe" was their follow-uo single after "My girl ( gone , gone , gone)". I clearly remember hearing "I believe" somewhere around Valentines day in 1982. Not sure when it reached #7 in the charts since I don't have the charts. Nice song.

Australia:

First of all, great quiz but I'm having trouble. Know the artist but the song, I'm not too sure of.

#22 is Men At Work-Overkill?
#25 Rick Springfield-Affair of the Heart?

#25 is correct.  #22 is not unfortunately.  There are alot of known artists in this quiz

Another fine quiz, Jason. :)

Here's a first 4 from me, from the Australian/New Zealand quiz:

#5. Hey St. Peter - Flash And The Pan
#9. Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye feat. Kimbra
#27. Through The Years - Tim Finn
#28. That's Freedom - John Farnham

Those are all correct Henk :)

I only know one of the remaining Canada songs in full... and that is #13, which is "Living On Video" by Trans-X. (I had no idea they were a Canadian band until now.)

As for the Australian songs, I can already name #3: "Under The Milky Way" by the Church. Off to look for more!

Australia #13: "Wishing I Was There" by Natalie Imbruglia. (Haven't heard that in ages!)
#14: Pseudo Echo's cover of "Funky Town".

And now I think this uses up my limit.

However, I do know 6 1/2 others...

^ Those are all correct Jeff.  4 for 4.  I was gonna use 'Torn', but I went with 'Wishing I Was There' to add a bit of a challenge lol

Yes I did. Thanks whistledog. :)

Good quiz, although I haven't heard of many

Australia #23 - AC/DC - Thunderstruck

Australia #40 - INXS - Original Sin

Australia #42 - Little River Band - Take It Easy On Me ???

Australia #43 - DiVynals - I touch myself.  (I don't think that's how the group spells it, but close enough)

I either know the artist or I know the song, but not both.

You were close on the spelling.  You got 4 for 4 on those Patty :)

Those two are correct.
early hint:  There are still a few left in this quiz that made the US Top 40

For this quiz, I start in Canada

08 | Lime - Unexpected Lovers
12 | Claudja Barry - Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes


Two down, many more to go.  I had to double-check before I discovered that Ms. Barry was from Scarberia by way of Jamaica, but yeah, I meant Lime from Montreal, not La Bouche, who may have had a French name, but who covered it much much later.

You got those two answers correct!

Claudja Barry is Jamaican born, yes.  I've often seen her referenced as solely as a Jamaican singer, which is always incorrect.
I never would have known growing up she was even Canadian had it not been for the CANCON logo on her records.

Australia:

#1 Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs

#6 That's When I Think of You - 1927

I only know a half dozen or so (fully).. :-\\

Those are all correct Peter :)

I did go with a few obscure ones.  I was a little hesitant to even put a Billy Thorpe song in the quiz because he didn't seem to have much success outside of Australia.  He had no hits in the UK, 1 hit in the US (Children of the Sun, 1979) and 2 hits in Canada (Over the Rainbow, 1964; In My Room, 1981)

Thanks Jason. I would have thought his 1972 'Most People I Know (think that I'm crazy) would have been his biggest OS. He was a dmn fine guitar player as well.

... and (from memory) there were several on your list that rang no bells at all (on first listen).  :-\\

I may have made this quiz a wee bit too challenging (lol) so I've increased the limit from 4 to 8.

3 out of 4.  #36 is not correct I am afraid.

Technically #16 is also incorrect, but I give you points for it because the version that was released in Canada under a different title, I do believe was the B side (is it even called a B side anymore?) released in most countries ...

http://image.maniadb.com/images/album/173/173005_1_f.jpg

Dannii needs to put out more songs.  There was a brief time when I thought she was putting out better music than Kylie

3 out of 4.  #36 is not correct I am afraid.


Then it must be Soul Kiss. I know it's Olivia.

Thank you for your leniency.  :)

With all those remixes nowadays it's so hard to keep track...especially for an old fart like me! ;D

There are so many remixes today, it is hard to keep track.  It is rare though when the remix version becomes the single

Australia:

11. the power of love - air suply

29 One step ahead - Split Enz

Australia:

11. the power of love - air suply

29 One step ahead - Split Enz



Both of those are correct, and thumbs up for knowing One Step Ahead.  It was a Top 20 hit in Canada back in the day, but it seems to be one of those songs that is long forgotten.

Slightly off-topic, but if we're going for Dannii vs. Kylie, here's something really obscure:

9bjCGWaYZLg
  - Kylie Minogue, The Stupid Song, aka So Stupid (Wrath of Kylie), based on an interview in early 2004 (or before) that went terribly wrong...

Both of those are correct, and thumbs up for knowing One Step Ahead.  It was a Top 20 hit in Canada back in the day, but it seems to be one of those songs that is long forgotten.


I used to own the album, Waiata. My favorite part of the album was how "Hard Act to follow" transitioned into "One step ahead". There's a bit of a break in between, but I like the way the one track followed the other on the album.

I guess you had to be there..

Man ... just made it back here in time.

#10  John Paul Young (or JPY) - Yesterday's Hero
#12 Crowded House - Fall At Your Feet

Danni started in the music business before Kylie  .. on a show on Aussie tv called "Young Talent Time". The cast had to leave the show when they turned 16.  I remember one of the shows had members of the family singing with the cast members and Dannii sang with Kylie (who was only an young actress at that time).

I knew this and always thought it was interesting only because Dannii is younger than Kylie

Hi Jason - great quiz!

Some songs I inherited from my kids' ipods here....

#7 Hello - Martin Solveig (I believe the girl vocalist on this track is Canadian)

Australia

#2  Pas Parle Americano - Yolanda Be Cool
#38 I Like The Way You Move - Bodyrockers

#7 Hello - Martin Solveig (I believe the girl vocalist on this track is Canadian)

#2  Pas Parle Americano - Yolanda Be Cool
#38 I Like The Way You Move - Bodyrockers


Those are all correct :)  #2 is actually 'We Speak No Americano' but there are no English lyrics, so I will give you that one.

The girl on Hello is Canadian.  Her name is Martina Sorbara and she is lead singer for a band called Dragonette

As I anxiously await the final guesses, I prepare work on my next quiz destination 8)

Okay ... I only know maybe 2 and a half more.

#15 Good Times - Hoodoo Gurus (I saw that band play live a few times).
#18 According To You - Orianthi (one of the greatest female rock guitarists)
#39 Silverchair  (don't know the song ...wasn't a fan)

That was a great quiz Jason. Really enjoyed it ... although I should have known more of the Aussie songs!  :-[

To be fair, I did use alot of newer songs, one of them being a signature hit

#39 may or may not be correct.  Without a song title, no points :P lol

Good Times was the Gurus lone hit here in Canada and it only got to #95.  They promoted that song while on tour in America with The Bangles.  If you ever see the full video, you can see all 4 Bangles girls in it

(looking around, kicking some tires here and there)
Nope, that's it for me. Great quiz.  I fancied the Canadian content.

Same here - nothing left that I recognize. It was fun playing, though! :)

Hints are now added, and partial guesses will now be accepted.  However, any previous partial guesses prior to this do not count :P

Now that partial guesses are accepted #1 Canada is Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush but for the life of me
I can't remember the song title. I don't want to resort to pulling out my albums but I may have to.
