Hi Tanya

#22 is correct but I had a different artist in mind.
Unfortunately #23 is not the song or artist I had in mind.  Hint:  it's an Australian artist.


So far everybody else is spot on :)

Hi Maddog  :)

You got the artist for #17.  Carol Bayer Sager had quite a big hit here with "You're Moving Out Today".
I bought the LP and it was pretty good.

I've got a different artist in mind for #8.  (Think Jerry Hall)

Bad luck on missing out on the other 2.  I love "Teenage Rampage" - my favourite Sweet song.  It was our anthem and always a huge hit at school dances ;D

Hiya Fuss :)

Yeah they are great songs aren't they!  Rain Dance was one of my favourite songs when I was in Year 7!  It's a terrific song.  I had a lot of fun compiling this quiz.  Lots of memories :)  Of course, all your answers are 100% correct.

# 7  The Band Played the Boogie - CCS


One of my all time fave songs, and a crime it was never recognised for the great tune it was  :D



"The king bought a car to trade in his crown
Andy Warhol made a movie about Peter Pan
Miss liberation has found herself a man *
Take it while it's there
Don't grieve when it's gone
The band played boogie and the people danced on..."


*This line always made me smile because it outraged my feminist sister to the max.  She saw herself as "Miss Liberation".  Where is she now ?  married with kids, muwhahaha  :P
