I remember the video, which had something to do with a roller coaster maybe? Anyways, I really like it too!

Yes...there was a young boy in the roller coaster, and I remember seeing some kind of a 'fun house'... :D

Hi there Karen! Got here as quickly as I could! These went like hotcakes, as I can see. It's just that when you posted this, I was nowhere near a computer (in fact, I was having my lunch!).

#17..."Magic" by Olivia Newton-John.


Now there's only two left...and I'm drawing a blank on both of them.

Written By: Paul on 05/04/07 at 3:55 pm

Yep! Knew I'd be kicking myself... ::)

#10. 'The Second Time Around' - Shalamar

#19. From the clue, it must be 'Secret Lovers' - Atlantic Starr
(But I certainly don't recall these lyrics in the song...perhaps they were snipped out of the version I've got!  :-\\)

Those are both correct, Paul!  8)

Regarding the lyric from 'Secret Lovers'...I played it back again and it is indeed there...and immediately following that is the line 'I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight...'

Heh! I'm still non-plussed, young Karen...as that line isn't in my version either!

For the record, my version (which must be the single version) gets spliced after the first chorus straight into the 'you and me...' bridge...
