Hi there, Patty!  :)

You got 2 out of 3, as I'm afraid #18 is incorrect...

I think I got the wrong country song, it keeps playing over and over in my head, I just have to get to the chorus to figure out what the heck it is.  ;D

18.  I'll still be loving you? - Restless Heart (I always get Little Texas and Restless Heart mixed up in my head - since I loved them both)

'I'll Still Be Loving You' would be correct... :)

It sure is, Patty!  :D

I'm *BUMPING* this with clues... :D

Hi there Karen... I know I missed this one; that's mostly because I was so busy studying at the time you posted it (actually I was trying to finish a lab project). But I think I can take a stab at one of them...

#5. I think I can tell from your clue that the band is probably Hall & Oates. But I can't place the song. :-\\
If I'm right, will I get half credit?

Hi, Jeff!

That is indeed correct, so you will get half credit!  :)

The other half of #5. would be 'One On One'...

'Fraid not much luck with the other, despite the clue... :-\\

You got it!  8)

Not even a guess on the band?  :D

First one I can guess at is Rush...but I'm pretty confident it's not them!

Hm...a good guess, but no, it's not Rush!  :)

The band in question hails from the city where I was born...Vancouver!  :D

So they're Canadian then... that should help narrow it down.

There are many bands from the 1980s that are Canadian...but I don't know specifically where they all hail from! Good luck to whoever can figure this out. ;)


I would try, but my mind is warped right now from studying...so I'll leave the last item for someone who does know the band and/or song.

'Fraid it doesn't narrow it down much for me... :-\\

It's at times like this when Jason would come in handy!  :D

Well, we'll see if he spots it later on... :)

Hi Karen!

15. "When it's Over" by Loverboy (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh).

Hi John!  :)

That's the one!!  8)

'Loverboy'! (smacks head!)

Well, I probably wouldn't have got the song...not one of their 'familiar' ones to me!  :-\\
