what song is that from

#5 Down Under by Men At Work

# 8 is Sledge Hammer by Peter Gabriel.

#1 is Adam Ant (or Adam and the Ants?) - Stand and Deliver
#6 is Diana Ross - Chain Reaction

#2ABC -Poison Arrow
#9Paul Simon something from Graceland I just can't put my finger on it.


edit:The Boy in the Bubble-I knew if I stopped trying to think of it I would.

The solution to problems usually comes from the direction we least expect.Consequently there is no point in looking in that direction,because that's not where it's coming from. Douglas Adams.

Ok I am going to end this one here.

1 - Adam and the Ants - Stand and Deliver (Esteban)
2 - ABC - Poison Arrow (dazzle)
3 - Phil Collins - You can't hurry love
4 - Kajagoogoo - To Shy
5 - Men at work - Down Under (nopoop)
6 - Diana Ross - Chain reaction (Esteban)
7 - Janet Jackson - What have you done for me lately?
8 - Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Day Sleeper)
9 - Paul Simon - The boy in the bubble (1/2 point anyway dazzle)
10 - Visage - Fade to Grey

This is an interesting thread and something a little different so hopefully you are only referring to this particular set of songs!

From the answers, I can see there was a couple more that I really should have gotten.

I think ramblin'man would have guessed a few, but he seems to be away at the moment.

I certainly haven't lost interest, it's just that most of the music I really like (and know the answers to) is from the late sixties through about the mid seventies. Please keep this thread going!

Bugger me, as the actress said to the priest. I've noticed this tread title popping up but I've never looked in to it as I've not had much time recently. Now I see SD has got a good line in lines. If only I'd looked in a few days earlier I'd have got the Visage and Phil Collins stuff.

I'll be back to compete here.

Albi

A contribution from me to test your knowledge.

This song was the introduction to a tv series, popular in its time. What is it's title (fairly obvious) and what was the tv series about. Save and change the file extension from wmv to mp3 to play it.

I may seem mad to include it here but it has a connection with our presence here. Who was the main actress and what is that connection?

Albi

Absolutely no clue and I was glued to the TV back then.

It seems no-one is going to get this so I'll put you out of your misery.

The music and tv series was called White Horses and was about a girl staying with her uncle who trained Lipitzaner horses (as used in the Vienna Spanish riding school). Filmed in Yugoslavia in 1968.

The connection with us here? Helga Anders was the girl and went on to become a pron actress.

Yep, I was away, and could have snagged the Phil Collins and Kajagoogoo ones, although godDAMN that's embarrassing. Oh, and who or what the frick is Visage?

C'mon now Sir Darkstar, don't stop. Please. Pleeeeaase. (don't you wish I was TF Grace saying that?)

Sorry Albi, never heard of the show or actress. Although with a name like HELGA, she simply HAD to be one of the girls in those old German Color-Climax movies ... you know, with the heavy blue eyeliner, the big ol' hairy bushes, and so on.

Okay, SD, bring it!

RM

Ok we will gibe this another shake and see what fall out.

1 - You know we're fallin' to zero hurtin' much more than it did before, I'm always playing the hero, Cleaning your mess as you walk out the door

2 - I found a picture of you, What hi-jacked my world that night, To a place in the past, We've been cast out of.

3 - Auf ihrem weg zum Horizont, Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All Darum schickte ein General 'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher, Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär Dabei war'n da am Horizont

4 - I hate the world today, Your so good to me I know, but I cant change.

5 - She got outa town, on a railway New York bound, took all except my name, another Alien on broadway.

6 - We got steve outside carrying a full pack. Now everything's cool and everything's smooth. (hey that's smooth)I walked up to the teller, I gave her the letter, She gave me the loot with puckered up lips and a wink that I found cute, and I said, Baby Baby Baby

7 - So long ago, Certain place, Certain time, You touched my hand, On the way, On the way down to Emmiline, But if our paths never cross, Well you know I'm sorry but.........

8 - The morning was cold and lonely, The city lights old and grey, The sun arose and tried to smile, Gave it all away, The honky-tonk called the stranger, The stranger couldn't pay the bill, Made a stand, Raised his hand, Sang a song, No time to kill.

9 - I love myself, I want you to love me, when I feel down, I want you above me, I search myself, I want you to find me, I forget myself, I want you to remind me.

10 - If I, I get to know your name, And I, can trace your private number baby, All I know is that to me, You look like you're lots of fun, Open up your lovin' arms, I want some, want some.

Ok People some Hard and Some rediculessly easy.


GO TO TOWN>>>>>>>its that way>>>>>>>>>>>>

I presume these are the ridiculously easy ones

No. 4 is: Meredith Brooks - Bitch
No. 6 is: Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks
No. 10: is Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round

I think No. 9 is: I Touch Myself. (not sure which emoticon to use after writing that)

Don't know the artist though.
