what song is that from

<zzzzzzip>

#2. Tonic -- If you could only see
#8. Hall and Oates -- Private Eyes (I'm pretty ashamed that I know that one )

Someone else please get #3, c'mon now. I'm flummoxed on 6, 9, and 10 though (Cinderella? Delta Goodrem? ). Tough stuff!

<pizzzzz>

Me? A KISS fan...? A little... I use to sing Detroit Rock City, and Strutter, and Shock Me in an old band, but I really go for the prog rock stuff, and the 'Oo, and the Doors, and Jimi... Late sixties, early seventies, the seattle stuff, 80's new wave...Motown, classic jazz...but, KISS???

Thanks for putting the song in this one, though, S_D - I really do suck at this damn game!!!!

Sorry Esteban but I believe #7's original version is, Carol King - You've Got A Friend

Oh... by the way #7 is the only one I know too... although the Last one rings a bell but, I can't place it.

1 - Squeeze - Cool for Cats (RM)

1 - We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway today's another day to find you shying away I'll be coming for your love, OK?

2 - I'm nothing special in fact I'm a bit of a bore, if I tell a joke you've probably heard it before, but I have a talent, a wonderful thing, 'cause everyone listens when I start to sing

3 - Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard There's gonna be a party all over the world I got a message on the radio, but where it came from I don't really know and I heard these voices calling all over the world

4 - I can’t stop, The way I feel, Things you do, Don’t seem real, Tell you what I got in mind ’cause we’re runnin’ out of time, Won’t you ever set me free? This waitin’ ’rounds killin’ me

5 - There's a party going on right here a celebration to last troughout the years. So bring your good times and your laughter too, we're gonna celebrate your party with you!

6 - Father wears his Sunday best, Mother's tired she needs a rest, The **** are playing up downstairs, Sister's sighing in her sleep, Brother's got a date to keep, He can't hang around

7 - It's our occupation, we're a dancin' nation, We keep the pressure on every night, Explanations are complications, We don't need to know the where or why

8 - And she's watching him with those eyes, And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it, Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

9 - We walked the lonliest mile, We smile without any style, We kiss alltogether wrong, No intention

10 - Walked in the cold air,Freezing breath on a window pane, Lying and waiting, A man in the dark in a picture frame, So mystic and soulful, A voice reaching out in a piercing cry, It stays with you until

I dont like admitting I was wrong and it WONT happen again

now come on, there is a new one up. Lets get going.

SD

I am 27 years old so I guess a lot of these songs were probably just before my time but how can I ever forget my older brothers music when I was just a kid. All The Smiths and The Cure songs they used to listen to and of course I will never forget Madness!

No. 6 is : Madness - Our House

I remember it more recently of course with pub's having music from the 80's nights better. Still can't guess more than one song from each list though, but I will try

Number 8 sure sounds like Jessie's Girl by Rick (Don't Call Me Bruce) Springfield.

#1, Aha - Take On Me
One of my favorite early music videos.

HUH? Kris Kristofferson wrote Sunday Morning Coming Down? Holy crap, I thought it was like 40 years old or something. And now wait just a second there SD, I thought #3 was the Goo Goo Dolls, never heard of Plimsouls ... will have to look that one up and edit appropriately if needed.
edit => Harrumph. Plimsouls, whoever they are, did it 15 years before the GGD. I bow to the superior intellect. I'll take my humble pie ala mode, please.

New set: RM does NOT do disco. However...

#3. ELO - All Over the World
#5. As a 40-yr-old American, allow me to say the following:
#7. song is Respectable, but don't know artist
#9. Motels -- Only the Lonely.

C'mon peoples, there are some relatively easy ones still available, certainly easier than Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Disco Duck

LMAO @ RM. I remember the song " Million miles away" it was from the movie "valley girl" released somewhere around 1983 that my GF at the time made me sit through, now Deborah Foreman and the song by the Plimsouls are the only things I remember from the film, worth watching just to see foreman. Ah my second last year of High School. so long ago now. but Deborah Foreman man o man. Still a babe today.

Valley Girl?
Like, fer sure, you know, like, whatever.
The way she looks now, she is definitely a MIWDNLF.

Except for the summers of 1984 and 1985, I do my utmost best to block out all the time between 1981 and 1988, despite being the same age as you Herr Darkstar. Music included. There is an occasional song/band I like, but for the most part -- gag me with a spoooon.

Looks like no other takers on other songs from this latest set. SD, you might have to close it down earlier than planned. I'll help:

#4. Fine Young Cannibals -- She drive me crazy (oooh, ooh)
#5 Kool and the Gang -- Celebrate

And I absolutely do not know #2. Nope, there is no way a big red-blooded hetero goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus like myself would EVER know a song like that. No no no no no no no, especially not a song from a certain Swedish group with a palindromic name. Nein, nyet, non, negatory.

But Thank You for the Music, mein Herr.

He-Man
(drinking beer, farting, eating salami, chewing tobacco, looking at HETERO pRon)

ok time to wrap this one up

1 - Aha - Take On Me (nopoop)
2 - ABBA - Thank you for the music
3 - ELO - All Over the World (ramblin'man)
4 - Fine Young Cannibals - She drive me crazy (ramblin'man)
5 - Kool and the Gang - Celebrate (ramblin'man)
6 - Madness - Our House (Esteban)
7 - Mel & Kim - Respectable (1/2 point ramblin'man)
8 - Rick Springfield - Jesse's Girl (Day Sleeper)
9 - Motels - Only the Lonely (ramblin'man)
10 - Ultravox - Vienna

good work everyone....a new will be here shortly
SD

1 - I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention, I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention

2 - If I were to say to you can you keep a secret? Would you know just what to do, or where to keep it? Then I say I love you, and foul the situation, Hey girl I thought we were the right combination.

3 - I need love, love, ooh, ease my mind, And I need to find time, someone to call mine

4 - Tongue tied or short of breath, don't even try, Mmmm, try a little harder. Something's wrong, you're not naive you must be strong Ooh, baby try

5 - Travelling in a fried-out combie, On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous, She took me in and gave me breakfast

6 - You took a mystery and made me want it, You got a pedestal and put me on it

7 - Used to be a time when you would pamper me, Used to brag about it all the time

8 - You could have a steam train, If you'd just lay down your tracks, You could have an aeroplane flying, If you bring your blue sky back

9 - It was a slow day, And the sun was beating, On the soldiers by the side of the road, There was a bright light, A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage, Was wired to the radio

10 - Two eyes staring cold and silent, Show fear as he turns to hide
