I await your remaining 5 answers :)

#70 Hokey Cokey ~ Black Lace


How was this not a hit over here? It sounds like a classic!

And here they are:

#5: Right Between The Eyes - Wax

#10: I'm Not Scared - Eighth Wonder

#13: Spirits In The Material World - The Police

#15: is Shakatak, not sure about the song. Nightbirds..? ???

#56: (Feels Like) Heaven - Fiction Factory

Black Lace did not have any hits in US or in Canada.  It's a shame.  They had some catchy tunes :)


And here they are:

#5: Right Between The Eyes - Wax

#10: I'm Not Scared - Eighth Wonder

#13: Spirits In The Material World - The Police

#15: is Shakatak, not sure about the song. Nightbirds..? ???

#56: (Feels Like) Heaven - Fiction Factory


#15 is Shakatak, but it's not Nightbirds.  Good song title guess though.  The others are 100% correct :)

Another try: City Rhythm? I can think of a few others that I know are definitely not right, so it's just a matter of elimination.


It's not City Rhythm.  I invite you to try again ;)

[quote author=whis

Streetwalkin' - and that's my final offering.


No, but a good guess though :)

[quote author=whis

Then it's either a song I don't know at all, or one I obviously don't know well enough... The latter would be quite embarrassing... :-\\

Modified to add:

I still got 0.5 left, so I'll give you the artist for #12: Fine Young Cannibals. I don't know the song.


#12 is indeed FYC :)

#16 Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed ~ Matt Bianco
#22 Is This Love? ~ Alison Moyet

#16 Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed ~ Matt Bianco
#22 Is This Love? ~ Alison Moyet


Those are correct Phil :)

You still have 2 more left :)

#40 is Montego Bay, but it's not Madonna.  #44 and #63 are incorrect.  Good guesses though :)

The other half answers you gave are correct :)

Since the limit is 6, I can only accept your first 6 answers

43.  Go West  "Don't Look Down"

---cornwallis

43.  Go West  "Don't Look Down"

---cornwallis


That is the one yes

You now have 6 points :)

Hey Jason, as the limit's off now I'll give the rest of my guesses:

#6  Wishing I Was Lucky - Wet Wet Wet
#30 I think the (flippin' awful) song is called "Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosy"
#45 I Feel Like Buddy Holly - Alvin Stardust
#48 The song is "Whenever You Need Somebody"
#49 Tahiti - David Essex - my memory might be playing tricks here but was that Sinitta speaking the words on this song?
#51 Look Away - Big Country

I still don't recognise any of the really tough ones though!

....just listened again, #68 really sounds like Paul Weller's voice but I don't recognise the song, I'll guess at the Style Council as the artist?

ooh, ooh, ooh, I just got #11 too, it's "Homo Sapien" by Pete Shelley, ex of the Buzzcocks !

With the limit now off...

#19: the title is Leave In Silence

.. and I'll have a go at #65. I might be way off here, but could it be The Friends Of Mr. Cairo by Jon & Vangelis (which would make it only 50% British)...? :-\\

Mind you, I've never heard the actual song, but I've read some descriptions of it and it does seem to fit.

All of those are correct, and that is Sinitta on Tahiti yes :)


#30 I think the (flippin' awful) song is called "Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosy"


LOL it wasn't that bad, but it certainly wasn't their best song  :-\\

All correct :)  Jon and Vangelis are 50% British yes.  Vangelis is Greek, I believe.  The Friends of Mr. Cairo has always been a mystery to me.  It was a #1 hit here in Canada, but it didn't do any damage in either the US or the UK charts.  I can only assume that it was big in other international countries

69.  The Outfield  "My Paradise"  (one of my fave 80s groups)

44. Whistle Down the Wind?


I will assume you meant #3 for #7, in which case you are correct :)

The opthers I am afraid are not, but good guesses though

15. Take That To The Bank?


That was Shalamar, not Shakatak. I keep confusing those two bands too... ;)


Now back to business.. I know #38 must be Status Quo (I was thinking so before your hint, btw). Can't think of the song...

15. Night Birds

It is Status Quo yes  :)


15. Night Birds


no, but a good guess though :)

27. Oh Yeah - Roxy Music


I didn't see this  :-[

The artist is correct, but not the song

Back once more...

Only from your clues I'm guessing that #62 must be That's Love.
And the Shakatak song (#15) may be Easier Said Than Done... though I thought I knew that one.  :-\\

That is a correct guess :)

Not the correct Shakatak title, but a gooes guess though.  There were lots of Shakatak songs ... care for more guesses? :)
