12. "Dancing Queen" by ABBA
13. "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran


I think you typed the wrong number accidently.  I'm sure he meant to type 15.

Hey Robert! This is an interesting quiz. I figured out quite a few of 'em already; here's the four I'm going with:

1: "In The House Of Stone And Light" by Martin Page (1995)
3: "Our House" by Madness (1983)
6: "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson (2004) (I love listening to this one)
16: "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" by Paula Cole (1997)

#9 The Night ~ Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons
#14 Eternal Flame ~ The Bangles
#17  Don't Worry, Be Happy ~ Bobby McFerrin
#18 Last Train To Clarksville ~ The Monkees

Lots of good ones here Robert.  I love these quizzes

#22 500 Miles - The Proclaimers
#25 Kiss From a Rose - Seal (?)
#35 Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
#40 Don't You Want Me - The Human League

#20 This Love - Maroon 5
#30 The Way You Make Me Feel  - Michael Jackson
#33 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm - Crash Test Dummies
#39 Message In A Bottle - The Police

I'm going to guess again #9 Money For Nothing - Dire Straits


Hi wildcard. I'm sorry to say that your guess is incorrect.  :-\\


2.  "Good Morning Starshine" from Hair
4.  "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart
12. "Dancing Queen" by ABBA
13. "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran


Hello Gambo!  I'm assuming you mistyped the number for Hungry Like the Wolf, and meant #15.  On number 2, although Good Morning Starshine is from Hair, its performed by a different artist. You have 3.5 points for this.  Good job!  :) Since you are under the limit, please feel to guess the artist again.


Such a fun quiz!  I love these

Hi  Philip.  On #9, the song is performed by Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons, but it's a different song.  The rest are all spot on so you have 3.5 points.  Good job!  :)

Since you are under the limit, care to give it another shot? ???

2. Oliver
26. I Love You  Climax Blues Band
38. Your Wildest Dreams - Moody Blues

I'm going to listen to this again.  I was convinced it was Uptown Girl!  ;D


Odd that you should mention that.  Mr. Joel's ode to his then girlfriend is scheduled for an upcoming game.  But since I have enough samples now for another 6 games, knowing its upcoming  doesn't give much advantage ;)
