Did you spot my crafty clue, leaving the capital "M" in "March you down the aisle" to indicate the month of March?
I don't just throw these together you know (well, mostly I do  ;))

Ah - I understand now!  :-[

14 the Most Beautiful Girl in the world

You're right whitewolf, can you name the artist also for this song?

I can here the line in #29 being sung.

Is it Fat-bottomed Girls - Queen?

Hello,

#4 is "American Girl" - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
#7 is "Brown Eyed Girl" - Van Morrison
#29 is "Fat Bottom Girls" - Queen

I can here the line in #29 being sung.

Is it Fat-bottomed Girls - Queen?

Yes it is! A double A side with "Bicycle Race", which prompted a memorable cover for the single, if memory serves.
I think it was banned from many shops as a result!

Hello,

#4 is "American Girl" - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
#7 is "Brown Eyed Girl" - Van Morrison
#29 is "Fat Bottom Girls" - Queen

Hi Graham...another good 'un...

#1. 'Japanese Boy' - Aneka (shoot me for knowing that...!)

#6. 'Bobby's Girl' - Marcie Blane (originally), but you're probably thinking of Susan Maughan (the much better version IMHO...)

#16. 'Bachelor Boy' - Cliff Richard & The Shadows

#24. 'The Black Eyed Boys' - Paper Lace (yes folks, they did have another hit apart from the usual two...!!)

22. Good Girls Don't-The Knack

#1. 'Japanese Boy' - Aneka (shoot me for knowing that...!)

#6. 'Bobby's Girl' - Marcie Blane (originally), but you're probably thinking of Susan Maughan (the much better version IMHO...)

#16. 'Bachelor Boy' - Cliff Richard & The Shadows

#24. 'The Black Eyed Boys' - Paper Lace (yes folks, they did have another hit apart from the usual two...!!)

All correct Paul, I'd expect nothing less  ;).

I had to look up the original artist for "Bobby's Girl", to be honest.
I do remember a version in the 1970s that was played a lot on the Tony Prince show on Radio Luxembourg, it was by a group of supposed Osmonds fans and was renamed "Donny's Girl".

22. Good Girls Don't-The Knack

Correct Indy :).

Hi!
I've found two answers.

#19 "Boy From New York City" by Manhattan Transfer
#30 "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer

And about a few more songs, I can sing the phrase shown here with its melody but cannot reach the clues of their titles.  :-\\

#19 "Boy From New York City" by Manhattan Transfer
#30 "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer

Hi and welcome tuontuin!

Both answers are correct :).
#19 was originally a hit for the Ad Libs and was a hit for Darts in the UK in the late 70s.

23. Blur - Girls and Boys

23. Blur - Girls and Boys

Correct Stompgal :)!

Limit's coming off now, it's a free for all...

#20 is Sunday Girl by Blondie

I used to love that song!

#20 is Sunday Girl by Blondie

I used to love that song!

Sure is karen, although it wasn't one of my personal Blondie favourites.
(However my creidibility as a judge of good music is now shot to pieces forever since I admitted buying "I'm In The Mood For Dancing" by The Nolans on jaytee's recent quiz  :-[). 

Ain't nothing wrong with them Nolans...!

There's only one left that's making its presence felt to me, despite the clues...

#21. 'Homely Girl' - either The Ch-Lites or UB40 (I'll let you decide...!)

#21. 'Homely Girl' - either The Ch-Lites or UB40 (I'll let you decide...!)

Yes!
Can't say that I remember the UB40 version though.
I love this song, it brings a tear to my sentimental old eye when I hear it on the radio.

Uhh I know what #2 is but I'm ashamed to say it as I cannot stand the guy....

But you know I'm right as his other cruddy song was "Insania"  :-\\


anywho #27 - Tattooed Love Boys - Pretenders (I did originally think The Distillers so  :-[)
