It did take me an age, I was walking round with a bit of paper for about 3 days adding songs as they popped into my head !

All correct so far.  :)

1. Blue Hotel-Chris Isaak

As this has ground to a halt I've added a few clues mostly in the colour mentioned in the song.........

Is #6 black-eyed Boy - Texas?

Is #40 There'll be Blue birds over the QWhite Cliffs of Dover - Vera Lynn

correct to both !

26.High on the roof.
?Everybody hurts?


From the clue this isREM I think.  Is it called Orange Juice?

Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin

Number 22.

Is it called Orange Juice?
