1. Heart Of Gold ~ Neil Young
2. Help Me Make It Through the Night ~ Gladys Knight and the Pips
18. Alone Again Naturally ~ Gilbert O'Sullivan
20. The instrumental bit at the end of Layla by Derek and the Dominos, that radio stations always cut out, it does have a name...!

1. Heart Of Gold ~ Neil Young


Correct!


2. Help Me Make It Through the Night ~ Gladys Knight and the Pips


Well, assuming you meant #6... ;)


18. Alone Again Naturally ~ Gilbert O'Sullivan


Also correct.


20. The instrumental bit at the end of Layla by Derek and the Dominos, that radio stations always cut out, it does have a name...!


I'll settle for Layla.  And yes, it is often cut out.

Well, assuming you meant #6... ;)
Yes please, I did mean #6.

19. Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones
24. My Ding-a-Ling -  Chuck Berry
26. Breaking Up is Hard To Do - David Cassidy

25. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown  - Jim Croce

19. Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones


It does sound like the Rolling Stones, doesn't it? But it's not them.


24. My Ding-a-Ling -  Chuck Berry


Well, no problems there! ;D


26. Breaking Up is Hard To Do - David Cassidy


Close, but not 100% correct. It's not David Cassidy. And yet it is. :D


25. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown  - Jim Croce


Again, close but no cigar. You got the artist right, but not the song.

are you trying to say it's the Keith Partidge....or the Patridge Family?

and since it's not the stones I'm gonna use my 1/2 point void and say #22 is Michael Jackson  (or if you are looking for them as a whole the Jackson 5)

are you trying to say it's the Keith Partidge....or the Patridge Family?


Partridge Family is the right answer. :)


and since it's not the stones I'm gonna use my 1/2 point void and say #22 is Michael Jackson  (or if you are looking for them as a whole the Jackson 5)



No, that would be Michael Jackson solo.

Partridge Family is the right answer. :)

No, that would be Michael Jackson solo.


that's what I thought... solo MJ... it's I wanna be where you are


is number 19 CCR?

that's what I thought... solo MJ... it's I wanna be where you are


Indeed it is! 8)

Nope, sorry. It's another legendary band with a string of hits.

Hey Henk, I look forward to your quizzes.

#14...Taxi....Harry Chapin?

#27...Join Together....The Who?

#30...Duncan....Paul Simon?

#36...If I Could Reach You....5th Dimention?

Those are all correct, Kevin. :)

It's been killing me but I think I finally got it.  The Jim Croce song is Don't Mess around with Jim.

#11 Jump Into The Fire-Nielsson
#28 Hitching a Ride-Vanity Fair (?)
#41 Energy Crisis-Dickie Dees
#49 You Are A Fluke Of The Universe-National Lampoon



Cat

Indeed it is! 8)


Nope, sorry. It's another legendary band with a string of hits. (#19)

Is it the Rolling Stones? I heard the clip and it sounded like a song of theirs, but I can't figure out which song it is.

Edit: no clue on the others for now (except maybe a few that have already been answered).

Hello Cat. :)

Think I'll give you two points for #11 and #49 (although, strictly speaking, Fluke of the Universe is only the subsidiary title). ;)
The other two are incorrect, I'm afraid. :(

I can only give you #3 - although, again, you're slightly off on the title.

As for #19: it's not CCR (Q already tried that), and it's not that song either.

thank you Cat Green River is name of the CCR song I was trying to come up with... even tho it was wrong at least I can stop hearing it in my head...  ;D

I am surprised that #19 is giving so much trouble. I thought it was an easy one, but then again everything is easy
when you know the answer.

I know it but just drawing a blank.

Is it Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress?

Finally! 8) Now all we need is a band to go with it.

Cat


Oh yeah... it's the....wait. I think I'm at my limit too... damn.

Definitely some hard ones here...you may be clueing sooner than expected, Henk!

#2. 'In The Rain' - Dramatics
#8. 'Take A Look Around' - Temptations
#28. 'Beautiful Sunday' - Daniel Boone
#48. 'Keeper Of The Castle' - Four Tops

Finally! 8) Now all we need is a band to go with it.



I think it was the Hollies.


You know, when I first heard the clip, that is what I thought it was and then I second guessed myself.


Cat

I recognize these ...

33 | (They Long to Be) Close to You
43 | Clair - Gilbert O'Sullivan
44 | Sunny Days - Lighthouse

No clue on the singer of #33, but just for a guess I know is probably wrong, The Carpenters?

I think it was the Hollies.


You know, when I first heard the clip, that is what I thought it was and then I second guessed myself.


Cat


that's them!  :)
always trust your instincts...tho I trusted mine on that song and was wrong twice  :D

Gee...not much left that I know... :-\\

#23  Sounds like Starman by David Bowie?  :-\\
#42 Something's Wrong With Me - Austin Roberts

On relistening to them all..I may know a couple more... :-\\

#9 Family of Man - Three Dog Night??
#33 Close To You - Brenda Lee Eager and Jerry Butler (I only knew this because of your Covers thread) ;)

Definitely some hard ones here...you may be clueing sooner than expected, Henk!


So far you're all doing well, so I'll just wait and see. :)


#2. 'In The Rain' - Dramatics
#8. 'Take A Look Around' - Temptations
#28. 'Beautiful Sunday' - Daniel Boone
#48. 'Keeper Of The Castle' - Four Tops


Four for four, Paul. 8)

44 | Sunny Days - Lighthouse

No clue on the singer of #33, but just for a guess I know is probably wrong, The Carpenters?


And those three (well, two and a half) are all correct. It's not the Carpenters singing.

I thought you might've recognized #34. The singer is Canadian.



I think it was the Hollies.

Yep, the Hollies it is. And what Q said - always trust your instincts.

Those three and a half are all correct, Peter. :) The Cover Corner thread is there for a reason... ;)

I'll try for another half point then...

#37 the artist is Sammy Davis Jr

Absolutely right! :)

I gave it a second listen.  I don't recognize the song, but the singer kind of sounds like Buffy Saint-Marie

That's half of the work done! :)

I know the feeling Peter...but worse...there's nothing left that I know  :(

I'll try and get here a bit sooner next time - been up to my neck in assignments...and work...not to mention looking for work too! ::)

You get karma anyway. ;)

It's quite possible none of the remaining songs were hits in Australia. Heck, most weren't even hits to begin with! ;D

I know the feeling Peter...but worse...there's nothing left that I know  :(

That was the problem with me after I first clicked on the quiz Saturday morning. I tried to figure out maybe one or two of 'em (even if it was just a performer)... but no such luck. :-\\



I'll try and get here a bit sooner next time - been up to my neck in assignments...and work...not to mention looking for work too! ::)

Good luck to you on that, Manda. :) I've also been looking for work myself.

I've raised the limit to 7, so if there's anything left you recognize...

That's half of the work done! :)


I know a few of her songs, but this is one I do not recognize.
As for the other songs, I am drawing up blanks :(

Excellent quiz though.  I look forward to more from you :)

4. Let's stay together - Al Green?

41. Dickie Goodman?

I am sorry, that I cannot tribute to this quiz anymore, I have heard the remaining tracks, and I do not recognize them.

#47 is Harry Chapin but I can't place the song.



Cat

4. Let's stay together - Al Green?


Right song, but wrong artist. This is an instrumental version by an artist who had quite a few Top 100 hits that year. I've used some of his songs in Volumes 1 & 2 of this quiz.


41. Dickie Goodman?


No, he was not involved in this project. A good guess, though.



#47 is Harry Chapin but I can't place the song.

Cat


Yes, it's Harry Chapin.  :) The song only made #75 in Hot 100, so I don't blame you for not remembering it.

Nothing left that I recognise

Nothing left that I recognise


I'm not sure any of the remaining ones made it to UK. :-\\

Here's a big hint. Although I'm not sure if this'll help or only confuse people more... :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6CVnCqubLA

Well, I guess that didn't ring any bells.

#41. 'Convention '72' - Delegates

...and I'm thinking that we'll be needing clues now, Henk!

#41. 'Convention '72' - Delegates


Yep. A novelty song that made #8 in the US, but I doubt if any radio station will play it nowadays.


...and I'm thinking that we'll be needing clues now, Henk!


Yeah, I'm guessing so too.

Here's a big hint. Although I'm not sure if this'll help or only confuse people more... :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6CVnCqubLA


This is a hint for #16, BTW. But it seems like no one ever bought this type of cereal. ???

Some more hints:

You've missed the hardest working man in showbusiness. ...Twice! :o

A sample of one of the songs was used by De La Soul (for 'Say No Go').

There's a collaboration somewhere of a showbizz couple (that Cat don't like) with a showbizz family. On tv, they played neighbors.

There's also a band (OHW) named after the liquid left in the pan after cooking vegetable greens.

And then there's this band that had hits with On The Road Again and Going Up In The Country, teaming up with a brilliant rock'n'roll pianist/singer.


More hints to follow.

I've reconsidered. Too much work to think of hints for songs that apparently no one has ever heard of. So here's the answers:

04. Let's Stay Together - Isaac Hayes
05. Cheer - Potliquor
07. We've Got To Get It On Again - Addrisi Brothers
10. King Heroin - James Brown
12. Afro-Strut - The Nite-Liters
13. Sweet Sixteen - B.B. King
15. Thank God For You Baby - PG & E
16. You Are The One - The Sugar Bears
17. Rockin' With The King - Canned Heat with Little Richard
21. Baby, Let Me Take You - Detroit Emeralds
29. This World - Staple Singers
31. Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar - Commander Cody
32. Wholy Holy - Aretha Franklin
34. He's An Indian Cowboy In The Rodeo - Buffy Sainte-Marie
35. Freddie's Dead - Curtis Mayfield
37. The People Tree - Sammy Davis, Jr.
38. I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know - Donny Hathaway
39. What Am I Crying For - Dennis Yost & The Classics IV
40. We Can Make It Together - Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme with The Osmonds
45. If You Let Me - Eddie Kendricks
46. Down To The Nightclub - Tower Of Power
47. Sunday Morning Sunshine - Harry Chapin
50. I Got A Bag Of My Own - James Brown


With four exceptions (#7, #10, #21 and #29) none of these songs broke the US Top 40. None of them made UK Top 40.


And that's it. If anybody knows any one of these songs, let him/her step forward. Or maybe you better don't tell as not to embarrass yourself in public.



Guess I won't be bothering you no more with my 1972 quizzes.

I thought #50 sounded a bit like James Brown - but not a song I recognised

Is #4 the song Roxy Music sort of covered?

I don't blame you - it was a hard one. Still got to #44 in US, though.

I didn't know they (also) covered it.  :-\\ Or are you thinking of Let's Stick Together? ???

34. He's An Indian Cowboy In The Rodeo - Buffy Sainte-Marie


This one didn't even chart in Canada.  I see it did reach #98 in the US.

Not much of a hit, huh? But there's always a (slim) chance someone might recognize it and/or have fond memories of that particular song. That's why I keep putting songs like that in my quizzes.


I was planning on doing three more 1972 quizzes (I have the material), but things being as they are... :-\\

Henk, please do, I enjoy your quizzes and I am sure other members do as well. It may be a small core of members
who participate in the quizzes but we are a dedicated group. If anything else your quizzes have me scurring to youtube
to find some of the songs I haven't heard before and finding songs I haven't heard in a long time. The choice, of course,
is totally up to you but I hope you keep doing it.

Henk... as loki13 said... please keep going. Your audio quizzes are truly something to look forward to.  If you didn't include more obscure songs (as well as well known hits) ... the quiz would be completed in one day (and that wouldn't be worth all your effort).

I also enjoy learning more about the songs that were not as high profile.

I too enjoy your quizzes Henk.  Please continue with them :)

Here's a little insight in the lenghts that I go in order to create these quizzes...

If I was to limit myself to songs that I know, this quiz would consist of only five songs.
Yes, that's right: no less than 45 songs in this quiz were obscure to me prior to this quiz.

Not sure if anyone else around here would do the same for their quizzes. :-\\ That's why sometimes I feel a little underappreciated. ;)


But since you all seem to be insisting on me torturing myself even more... ::) :D ;)

I had the feeling that most of the songs would not have made it over to the Nederlands... and that you would have had to research to source many of them. It can be a bit 'hit and miss'. This time some of them were too hard ... but that is not always the case. Most times the mix of easy and harder is pretty much right.

I'm very pleased that you have decided to continue. You are the only member here willing (or able) to make these fine quizzes. I would try if I knew how (technically). It is so much better to hear the tunes rather than just see the lyric!!!

Cheers Henk... :)

Henk, I don't think it is underappreciated as much as it is taken for granted and I too am guilty of this. We sit back and wait for a great
quiz of yours to come out and not realize, or properly thank you, for the time and effort that goes into making the quiz. That goes to
all the quiz makers as well. Sometimes we need a swift kick in the pants to realize this and that is what you gave us.

Karma to you sir!

Karma from me, too Henk. I also enjoy your quizzes. You really aren't as underappreciated as you think you are. We all love you here. You are part of our on-line family.

OOH coins. But, I believe they are obsolete now because the Netherlands use the Euro. Am I right, Henk?

Cat


lol I forgot you liked coins.  Yeah, wiki says they use Euro since 2002, but since I know even less about how to break up the Euro dollar into coins, I thought I could at least figure out the old Dutch eqivulant to the U. S. penny.

edit: ok, it was easier to figure out the Euro then I thought...

So here, I'll add my 2 Eurocents... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/1_eurocent.gifhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/1_eurocent.gif

never heard the term Potliquor at all...

I appreciate them too but I'd appreciate them more if I could win one  ;D

I've heard the term Potliquor before, it's what's left after boiling collard greens but I never would have
guessed it for a band name even after I read the clue. I went to youtube and played the song and lo
and behold I knew the song but it's one of those songs I didn't know the title to nor the band's name.
If it ever comes up again I will not forget it.

Thanks everyone for the karma and encouraging words! :)

Yep, you're right, Cat - we'll be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the introduction of the Euro in our country shortly (January 1, 2012 to be exact). Though that's made a lot of things easier (like going abroad) it also seemed to have made life a lot more expensive. (But that's just a feeling, apparently...)

Potliquor is indeed the band I was looking for. Pot liquor (or pot likker), also known as collard liquor, is what's left after boiling collard greens, mustard greens or turnip greens.
Potliquor was a Louisiana band, so this might be (more of) a Southern thing, I'm not sure. :-\\

I'll try and leave out the really obscure ones next time. ;)

I didn't know they (also) covered it.  :-\\ Or are you thinking of Let's Stick Together? ???


that is what I was thinking of!
