Those are all correct. :)

17.  9-5 Dolly Parton

That's the one, Gwen! (Though I work 8 to 5.... :()

#22...Morning Comes...Nikka Costa?
#24...Never Be The Same...Crowded House?
#19.. This will be a stretch,but is this one
          Mirror Image.....Rosanne Cash or Cher
        they both have a song by this name.

Hi Henk!

Is #13 "No Rain" by Blind Melon?  ???


...and a random guess on #22...

"Morning After" by Maureen McGovern

Hi.....

I think #4 is 'Move Closer' an 80's song sung by a female whose name escapes me  ???

22. Morning Has Broken - Cat Stevens

#22...Morning Comes...Nikka Costa?
#24...Never Be The Same...Crowded House?
#19.. This will be a stretch,but is this one
          Mirror Image.....Rosanne Cash or Cher

I'm afraid your answers are all incorrect.. :(..although #24 is very close (add one word and you're there - it's a song by two female singers, not a "regular" duo however).
The #19 song has the word "mirror" in it, but I'm looking for a male singer.

Hi Henk!

It is, Karen! :)

"Morning After" by Maureen McGovern

There's actually two versions of the song, both by female singers. But you're right on the title! :D

22. Morning Has Broken - Cat Stevens


Correctamundo, Gaylon! 8)

Hey Henk,you drive me nuts with these things.
I've looked through my entire collection and the only
other song I can come up with for #24 is....
"Never Gonna Be The Same".....Courtney Love

Unfortunately...that's not the one either. :-\\

I don't wanna give it away completely, but here's a few hints:
- song was released in 2000
- one singer originated from a 5-girl group (no chance of a reunion there)
- other singer from a 3-girl group (she sadly passed away)

Oh well - that might be a giveaway after all...

Then it has to be "Never Be The Same Again"...
by Melanie C. Feat. Lisa "left eye" Lopez.I completely
forgot about this one.Stupid me!

...but you got there eventually! ;)

I feel Like I could be on a roll so I'll take
a stab at #21....Memory.....Sugarcult?

2. The Matador-Sylvia
7. No One Like You-Scorpions (just a guess)
21. Memory-From the Cats musical

You're correct on the title, but I'm looking for another artist (and it's definitely another song, though the title's the same).

7. No One Like You-Scorpions (just a guess)

Will you please stop modifying when I'm trying to post a reply? ;)

OK, so you're right on #21 - that's the song I'm looking for. But who's the artist?
#7 isn't right, I'm afraid. And #2...well, you've got the title, but it's another song by another singer (may not be well known in US...)

#5 Maniac - Michael Sembello?

#19 Mirror Man - human League

#5 Maniac - Michael Sembello?


No, that's not it. It's got something to do with the city he lives in... ::)


#19 Mirror Man - human League


That's not it either, though the title I'm looking for has both "man" and "mirror" in it (in that particular order). ;)

19 Man in the Mirror-Micheal Jackson

woyuld 5 be New York state of mind-Billy Joel

15. Never Ending Story-New Found Glory

19 Man in the Mirror-Micheal Jackson


That's right, but...

woyuld 5 be New York state of mind-Billy Joel


..that's not.Think of another song starting with New York (by two UK Boys). ;)


15. Never Ending Story-New Found Glory


Correct on the title, so you've deserved a point. I was looking for another artist, though. :-\\

Another guess for #1 "Notorious" by Duran Duran?

Limahl 

Hi.....

Phyllis Nelson

16. Average working week

(monday I have) Friday on my mind -The easybeats.

Limahl 



Phyllis Nelson


Both answers are correct, Karen. Move closer was also sung by Marilyn Martin in 1986 (only a year after the original came out).

16. Average working week

(monday I have) Friday on my mind -The easybeats.


No, that's not the song I'm looking for. Here's a hint: the words "Monday" and "Friday" are both in the title.
I don't think anyone knows the song or the band, though... :-\\

5. New york-U2
16. Monday to Friday (taking a stab in the dark-but it would fit)

5. New york-U2

That's not it either, Tina...sorry to disappoint you once again. :(


16. Monday to Friday (taking a stab in the dark-but it would fit)

But you've got this one right!  :) The artist/band also had a song called Baby won't you leave me alone (we're talking 1969 here). Any ideas?  ???

#10 Magic Man?

Im gonna guess Amen Corner.
They had 2 big hits with hello suzie and "if paradise is half as nice"

#10 Magic Man?


Nearly missed this one... :-[
It's incorrect, I'm afraid. The artist (band) is best known for "Lola" and "All day and all of the night", if that's any help.

That's not the band I'm looking for. And I don't know any other songs by this particular band, so I can't be of any more help... :-\\

The Kinks  but I can't think of any song about a friendly gentleman.  Mr. Somethingorother perhaps?

Kinks is right, Mr.Somethingorother is close... It starts with a P and it (sorta) rhymes with hasn't. (It's my birthday, so I'm giving treats away today  ;))

Time to boost things a little. I've added hints/clues/years and removed the limit.

For #8, I know Errol Brown is the Lead Singer for Hot Chocolate, so here's a guess.  "No Doubt About It"

#20 - I know that Michael Penn had a hit called No Myth.  Is that it?

You're quite good at guessing, aren't you? ::) Both answers are correct and I therefore reward you with two points. :)


modified to add:
I'm surprised you didn't have a go at #3 and #6...they're exactly up your street IMO. ::)

I didn't even notice #3.  It's 2 Unlimited No Limits, their greatest hit

I can't stand this women or her so-called music, but...
7. S(h)in(eh)ead O'Connor, "Nothing Compares To You"
And #(I think)18 is Elton John, "Nobody Wins" (never heard this song, though.)

Your Pal,
Doc

I had to dig out my 2 Unlimited Greatest Hits CD to find the answer.  It's Maximum Overdrive  8)

#10 is Mr. Pleasant by the Kinks

#10 is Mr. Pleasant by the Kinks



Indeed it is. Now only three halves left... :)

OK, so you're right on #21 - that's the song I'm looking for. But who's the artist?


It's been recorded by near-enough the whole world and his wife, but it's most associated with Elaine Paige (who was starring in the musical at the time...)

Not in this part of the world... :-\\

#21 Memory - over here, t'was a hit for two folks in the 80's:  Barbra Streisand and Barry Manilow.  Do I win? LOL

Barbra Streisand is who I was looking for. So you win again.  ;)

02. Bull fighter
        (1980 / It took this singer 11 years to score again with "Hail! Hail! Rock'n'Roll")
        Matador - (but by whom?)      Indy Gent

Garland Jeffries?

Garland Jeffries?


I'll gladly give you half a point for that (it's Jeffreys, but who cares?). He seems to be rather unkown... :-\\
