Subject: W is for...[Audio Quiz! Lasy Answer Revealed]

Written By: Henk on 07/22/08 at 2:17 pm

Who are my friends?
Where are all my friends?
What's going on?
Why is everybody going home?
When will I see you again?


Questions, questions... And you have the answers (at least I hope so).

Limit =OFF. Enjoy, and good luck.
:)



OK...Here's the hints!

02. A 1965 song by a band (trio), perhaps best remembered for 'Tossing And Turning'. Tears don't fall for no reason...
06. A UK #17 hit from 1992, about jealousy and envy.
29. A UK #2 in 1953 for Frankie Laine, about a man on the run for the law. Song title contains one of the four elements (the one you can't see ;))

Well Jason, as Jeff pointed out: #28 was already taken.
Furthermore, for #25 you got the right artist but the wrong song (I agree, all Showaddywaddy songs tend to sound alike).
So, in all, you've only got 1.5 out of 3.

I'll take a punt at #25 being When (by Showaddywaddy)

I can't actually listen to it because for some reason I can only get tracks 1-6 to work. Sem to recall i had this problem last time.  It happens when I try and skip through the tracks that have already been answered.  :-\\

I can only give you two, I'm afraid. "Listen To What The Man Said" is actually #22, and it had already been answered. :-\\


Hi Henk  :) - only one from me I'm afraid at this late stage..

#27  When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics



One is still better than none. ;)
There might be some more or less obscure songs left, I think - that's why I set the initial limit to three.


#23 Where The Wild Roses Grow - Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave
#27 When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics...darn that Mooster.... ;)


Be quick or be dead, Peter. ;)
Still, the one left is spot-on. :)

"When" is a good guess, but unfortunately not the song I'm looking for.
Here's a hint: the song title is already in this quiz. ;)

As for your problem: I have no solution at hand. Maybe someone else knows what's going on here...

#38 the Tommy Steele song is called something like "Crash,  Bang, Wallop, What a Picture" - I remember it from the film "Half a Sixpence" ,which in turn was based on a novel by H.G.Wells called "Kipps".
