I recognize a few in the top 10 or so (from my clubbing days in the late 80s) , but this is the only one I know the title/artist

#5 Pump up the jam - Technotronic

That's correct. :)

#3 I think the artist is S Xpress, don't know the song, is it "I got the hots for you"?  I know that keeps repeating..

okay, I've figured out maybe half a dozen of them, but I know, I'm only allowed to answer 4 of them for now, so here goes...

#4 is "Blue Monday" by New Order.
#20 is "Please Don't Go" by KWS.
#26 is "What Is Love" by Haddaway.
And #29 is "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base.

Great quiz, once again, Henk. O0

Fanastic!

It is indeed S'Express


is it "I got the hots for you"?  I know that keeps repeating..


That's because it's a line from the song. ;) :D :P But it's not the title.

Thanks, Jeff. :) I'm afraid I can't give you full points, though. The artist for #20 is not KWS, and the song title for #4 is not 100% accurate. Sorry, but I need an exact answer on that one.

Of course you got four for four there!

Okay then, "Blue Monday '88" for #4?

And about #20, I do not know who else could have done it around that time. (Also, I remember from listening to the clip that the singer sounds different than that of KWS.) Hopefully someone else knows.

I think it's "Blue Monday 1988". I have it on my hard drive.

I'll accept that.

Interestingly, there were two almost identical cover versions released around the same time. The KWS version never was a hit in mainland Europe, but the other version was.

I'll accept that.

Thanks. ;) I had remembered that there was a version released in 1988 (which I hear most often on the radio anyways) which had the year listed in the title; some sources show the whole year, others the last two digits only, so I didn't know for sure which designation was officially correct.

That is correct, Patty. :)

ZOMG I'm late!

2. Yazz and the Plastic Population, The Only Way Is Up, and it's probably the original, not the marginally-NSFW-if-your-workplace-is-full-of-tightasses Phoenix Nights Vs Yazz version found on Mastermix 198, but hey, who's counting?)
22. Shamen, Ebeneezer Goode, a thinly-veiled guide as to how early-90s clubbers might consume MDMA somewhat more safely.
39. Chemical Brothers, Setting Sun
42. Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins, It's Like That

And with the limit at four, that's the way it is.

A perfect score, mr. Foo. 8)

No more guesses? Should I raise the limit? ???

The ones I knew have already been named.  Can't recall the artist of #20.

I recognise #40 but don't think I'll be able to work out what its called.

No more guesses? Should I raise the limit? ???


Bring it.  I've got more.

Hi Henk...phew, just got in before the limit is lifted!

This was the era in which my wife and I were bringing up babies and small children, rather than going out dancing, so I didn't recognise too many of those left...

#27 Out Of Space - The Prodigy

#35 Push The Feeling On - Nightcrawlers

#45 Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400

Finally, I think the title for #3 is just "Theme from S Express" - do I get half a point for that?

Hiya Graham! :) Good to see you again. All your answers are spot-on. 8)

The limit is off now. :)


Thought I had already raised the limit, but apparently not. :-\\

All right, now that the limit is removed, I can go back through my handwritten list and answer at least one more...

#21, is "I'm Gonna Get You" by Bizarre Incorporated (or Bizarre Inc; I've heard them referred to in both ways).

...And that's about all I can think of.

Correctamundo! 8)

I must be slipping in my old age.  I know so many of these to hear them, and I racked my brain, but these are of what's left that I know to name them ...

20 | Double You
31 | Move on Baby - Cappella
44 | King of My Castle - Wamdue Project

Those answers are all correct. :)

Here's some early hints:
The artists for #24 recently reunited for a one-time performance, after a 15 year hiatus, to honor Jermaine Dupri.
Herman Melville was supposedly #18's great-great-great-granduncle.
#37 is a cover of a Fugees song.
#36 hit the #1 spot in The Netherlands, the week one half of the duo died.
#19 is actually a Nigerian born Swedish dentist.

Those answers are all correct. :)


7. Stakker, Stakker Humanoid, sampling the video game Berzerk.
12. KLF, What Time Is Love, and the linked video contains part of the backstory/joke.
13. A Homeboy, A Hippie, and a Funki Dredd, Total Confusion, sampling Public Enemy's Bring the Noise (Funki or Funky?  I've seen both used.)
17. Human Resource, Dominator, one of the mixes where the voice is sped up a bit?

There are others that I know I've heard before, but can't quite place right now.  Carry on mixing!

All four are correct, although I have Humanoid for the performing artist for #7.

There will be (more) hints in the near future...

I am struggling with what's left.  There are some I recognize, but the names are not coming to me

I've added some hints (see first post). More to follow! :)

#18 Moby? (artist)
#24 Jump? (song title)

Based on the hints, I know two of them now

#10 is Fading Away by Will to Power
#36 is I Wanna Be A Hippy by Technohead

I should have recognized #36 by title.  It's on one of the UK Now That's What I Call Music collections.  Volume 33 if I recall correctly

#18 Moby? (artist)
#24 Jump? (song title)


So far, so good. :)

I should have gotten at least one of those. 

18. Moby, Go
24. Kriss Kross, Jump

I can only get half-credit for those two, because warped gift-wrapped 'em for me :)

11. MC Sar / Real McCoy, It's On You (only because I recognized that it sampled Raze's Break for Love)
19. Dr. Alban - It's My Life (only because of the hint!)
33. Atlantic Ocean - Waterfall (only because of the hint, but thanks!  Sweet video!)

And with a pod of dolphins on the screen, I say "so long, and thanks for all the fish..." until the next time.

I know I've heard some of the earlier ones, especially 8, 9, and 14.  I think I'm stumped on everything from the high-30s on up, with the exception of #41.  I want to say that #41's the Tamperer - If you buy this record - but the more I listen to the track, the wronger I think I am with that guess.  I know I've heard those strings somewhere, though.

It's not that song, and it's not that artist either. It's what the Germans call an Albtraum.

Just because of your hint, I'm guessing #41 is "Nightmare" or "Nightmares".

I'm pretty sure I've heard #6 many times, and #8 or #9 and #16, just can't think of an artist or title.

Still drawing blanks here, so they're up for grabs.  Adding #6 to the familiar list, but also drawing blanks.

40 - The BlueBoy, Nightmare (sinister strings mix) (for which I concede half a point to warped for the title, and I owe him karma the next time I show up, because I also found this awesome MLK remix that I'd never heard before, while in the process of confirming it.  Yes, that's a techno remix of I Have a Dream, which makes it doubly awesome.)
