[High C]

My fave 1 hit wonder, Evelyn Champagne King...

[Beowolf]

Whoops, sorry Roger! Didn't notice that.

Although in retrospect, I misnamed "Hush Hush" (Don't want anyone screaming at me that Deep Purple was no one hit wonder.

The song I was thinking of is called "Voices Carry"

Good deal Roger ...

NOT CSN&Y for this OUR HOUSE ... I was thinking 80's pop ... one-hit-stuff ...

Think one of the first Ska-type bands ... and British!

[Willin']

And We Danced... a Philly group called the Hooters.

Their leader...Eric Bazilian is pretty successful producer that's got lots more hits from his mixing board and song writing work than actual recordings. So I'm not sure if this really qualifies as a one hit wonder.

Cheers,

Mark

Likewise Welcome to the Boomtown's David and David. David Baerwald was instrumental in getting Tuesday Night Music Club out.

I bore my wife with tis type of useless tripe almost daily.

She was totally unimpressed to learn that Nora Jones was the daughter of Ravi Shankar! Ravi who?

Unsure about most of them.

Those are tough. Great Job

Jeff

[brad9798]

Video Killed the Radio Star (The Buggles or Beagles or something like that) correct!

Our House (Crowded House?) okay, no one is getting this one, so I will have to help ... Madness is the name of the band ... from 1983.

Jukebox (Autograph?) actually, it's The Flirts

Cum on Feel the Noize (QUIET RIOT, BABY!)

Rock it (Def Leppard?) NO ... and obscure fella to be sure. Instrumental ... with really cool, mechanical videos

Herbie Hancock, definitely not an obscure fella in jazz and R&B circles. ;) :D

[brad9798]

Correct, and Correct, mmd.

[Beowolf]

O.k. Kids, now for the bonus round...

The song is "I Don't Like Mondays."

Three part question.

1. Who's the group
2. Who's the lead singer
3. What are the two things that he is most famous for? (This might be construed as subjective, but I think we'll all agree on the answer."

Jeff

[brad9798]

Hey now, that's pre-80s stuff you're getting into ...

Boomtown Rats????? I think it was based on some girl in California ... or something killing schoolmates ...

Anyone else??

Bob Geldof? THE WALL!!!!

Next question, please!! ;)

[Donn]

What was Blind Melon's one hit?

[Beowolf]

Blind Melon's hit was "No Rain" with the infamous "Bumble Bee Girl" in the video.

Brad:

You're so close you can taste it! Come on buddy! What's the other thing that Bob Geldoff is most famous for...arguably his greatest accomplishment!

"There comes a time..."

[brad9798]

No Rain- Blind Melon

[Donn]

Keerect!

Leon...Mungo Jerry.

[brad9798]

Mungo Jerry for Summertime ...

Oh Sh*t, Jeff- We are the World.

I am going to scare myself, by doing this from memeory:

There comes a time, when we heed a certain call
when the world must come together as one
there are people dying and its time to lend a hand
to life, the greatest gift of all

we cant go onpretending day by day that someone somewhere ...

[Beowolf]

That's right Brad, Geldoff produced "USA For Africa" One of the top selling albums of all time.

Of course I was in 6th grade when it came out and you've already typed the only verse I knew. :confused:

BTW...If you get a chance, pull up my "Franchise Players" thread, I'd be curious to know how your Rams are fairing this off-season...

Jeff

[adampet]

HELP!!!!!!!!
I've been transported back to the 1980's.
Great Trivia!!!

More!!....More!...More!

[Donn]

Brad...We Are the World. Where's that barf gremlin when ya need it?

[John B]

Turning japanese. the vapors
No I didn't google it. We visited our neighbours last night and it turned into an LP playing session. Guess what got played on the first album we listened to. You got it. Ah well. the women seemed to like it .

[Beowolf]

John...That wouldn't happen to have been the 16 candles soundtrack?

O.k kids

"Something so Right"...

Jeff

[adampet]

Also from that era...my college days....
how about

Walkin on Sunshine

?

[Donn]

Katrina & The Waves

[Beowolf]

Donn beat me to it!

I used to have a student who wore bright yello "combat boots" to school. I always called her Katrina when she did.

Jeff

[brad9798]

Walkin on Sunshine is one of the best feelgood fun songs of all time ...

Contagious. Truly it is.

Nobody ever got Chris DeBurgh ... Don't pay the Ferryman.

Donn- I think Leon M has the barf graemlin!!! ;)

[Beowolf]

I'm still waiting to hear who wrote "Something so Right"....

And as an additional kicker

Pink Floyd filmed a live performance of "The Wall" in concert...Who played the schoolmaster?
(Hint: his name has already come up in this thread.)

Jeff

[J. Wellington Wimpy]

Brandy.. you're a finegirl
what a gooodwife - you would be
but my life, my love and , my laaady..

is the seeeaa.

[Donn]

Didn't Paul Simon write Something So Right?

[J. Wellington Wimpy]

Brandy used to watch his eyes
as he told his sailors stories
she could feeeel the ocean fall and rise
she saw it's rage and glory..

[Beowolf]

Donn...Nope, think 80's pop, and one hit wonder of course.

Jeff

[John B]

puppy love got played ,Jeff.Oh where is a throw up graemlin when you need one.and then bbbb... oh I don't know if I can say it.bbbbbbbb..
bbbay city rollers. arrrghhhurrk.

[John B]

I just bought the Dreamweaver album before Christmas. By ....

[Beowolf]

Two summers ago I took a course in web design. The software that we used in the course was none other than Macromedia's...You guessed it, Dreamweaver.

By the end of the two weeks, we all had "No Gary Wright" signs hanging above out computers!

Jeff

[Willin']

And pre-Dream Weaver Gary Wright was the lead singer of what mid 70's art rock band?

[Willin']

And I believe it was Bob Geldoff that played the school master in the Wall video...no?

[Willin']

And as for Brandy,You're a fine girl... that's Looking Glass...

Doooooo Doo Do Do
Doooooo Doo Dip Dip

[Beowolf]

Great Guess Willin'
But the correct answer.........Thomas Dolby.

"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer' meat !?!"

[brad9798]

Something so right- Annie Lennox!!!!!

Or, we could mention Crowded House, with Something so STRONG.

I love the 80s.

BTW- I love the song Brandy.

Can anyone name the members of Damn Yankees??? Moving into the mid-80s now! ;)

I still miss KISS!

[Meerkat]

One of the contenders for all time worst song I ever heard went something like: "Yummie yummie yummie, I got love in my tummy and I feel like loving you now."

A couple of other singlton hits:
"Don't Worry, Be Happy"
"Who Let the Dogs Out"
(Both of which, I happen to like)

[Beowolf]

Brad:

Ohhhhh so sorry...."Something So Right" - Level 42
(Unless there's another song under the same title)

Damn Yankees...

Ted Nugent and the guitar player from Styx.

Speaking of Ted, We enjoy the occassional "Ted Run-In" as he lives in Concorde where all of my wife's family lives. His youngest son attends school with my wife's half-sister, so we see then at the occassional game

His World Bow Hunters store used to be a mile from my house til it went online.

Yeah, I dig Kiss too. Creators of the original heavy metal ballad...

"Beth, I hear you callin'..."

Jeff

[brad9798]

Ah, level 42 ... wasn't that 'something about you' ???

Good old Beth!

Ted's a cool guy ... I like a lot of his thoughts.

[Garrett Lowell]

Damn Yankees:

Styx guitarist-Tommy Shaw.
One of the guys from Night Ranger, Jack something
Ted Nugent
some drummer.

[Garrett Lowell]

Oh yes, Tempted, which I don't think was ever identified, was by Squeeze (I have the cassette in the player of my Wrangler as I type). A few other big ones, if I recall correctly:

8675309 (Jenny)
Funkytown
Jane's Getting Serious
What I Am (just listened to this cassette, as well)
And someone did a modern (at the time) version of David Bowie's Major Tom song

[John Meachen]

I can add a little to Roger's much earlier questions;Cum on feel the noiz was by Slade,who had a tradition of mis-spelling in their song titles.99 Red Ballons was by a German lady called Nena and is known to some of my friends as the unofficial German National anthem.
John Meachen

[adampet]

Okay

Don't Worry Be Happy---Bobby McFerrin

acapella!

How about
Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick

[John Meachen]

Thats an easy one adampet-Ian Dury and the Blockheads.Appropriate name given our location in cyberspace!
John Meachen

[Beowolf]

I'm prety certain that Cum on feel the Noize was Quiot Riot.

However, I do need to tip my cap to Brad on the Level 42...It is Something About You.

(Jenny Jenny) Tommy Tutone
(What I Am) Edie Brickel and the New Bohemians...Another reason to listen to Rollin's Boxed Life CD.

and I can't think of who wrote "4 -3 - 2 - 1..Earth below us..."

Willin' I have no idea who Gary Wright sang for.

Jeff

[Willin']

Gary Wright sang for a prog rock group named Spooky Tooth. They were much better than their sales indicated, and so are largely forgotten.

They had an album entitled "You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw". Maybe they should have tried C&W.

As long as we're covering really bad one hit wonders (the 1910 Fruitgum Company did Yummie Yummie Yummie), who can forget Sugar....ahhhh honey honey?

I can remember a Brazilian girl asking me what that song was about and being totally stumped for an answer.

[Beowolf]

You had a girl ask you what "Yummy YummyYummy" was about and you didn't.......ah, nevermind... ;)

Jeff

[Ron Williamson]

IIRC both Slade and Quiet Riot did "cum on feel the noiz".Slade was first.QR also did "Metal Health" with a Hannibal Lechter mask on the album cover. :D
R

[Jim H]

Here a couple:

Love Sucks

Head to Toe

[Jim H]

Another:

Fight the Good Fight

[Beowolf]

Here's one that I can't remember the answer to...

The Break Up Song

:confused:

Jeff

[huisjen]

I don't remember his name either, but the song "4,3,2,1...Earth below us...." is "Major Thom", not to be confused with Bowie's Major Tom in "Space Oddity". The theme is the same, even if the lyric and music are quite different.

I also don't remember who did the song "On the Cover of Rolling Stone", a great one-hit-wonder if there ever was one.

This thread also brings to mind "Heaven. It must be there, well it's just got to be there..." I do remember who did that one.

Dan

[Beowolf]

"On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" is Dr. Hook.

[J. Wellington Wimpy]

Fight the Good Fight -- Triumph

The Break up song (They don't write 'm like that anymore... no they don't)

I 've got a really old album that Phil Collins played on.. the Band is called ''Brand X"

[ 02-15-2004, 09:45 PM: Message edited by: J. Wellington Wimpy ]

[huisjen]

J. Giles did "Love Stinks".

Hardly a one-hit-wonder though!

Dan

[oldriverat]

Not a one hit wonder but "Radar Love"?

"Journey To The Center Of Your Mind?

[ 02-15-2004, 08:38 PM: Message edited by: Memphis Mike ]

[Beowolf]

Radar Love is Golden Earring...Their other hit was "Twighlight Zone"

So who wrote The Breakup Song?

Ba ba ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba

[Roger Stouff]

No one's mentioned one of my all-time favorites, who did "Days Gone Done," "Right Down the Line," "Home and Dry," and...third major song and artist?

smile.gif

[doorstop]

I'm no real music buff but the two oldies that I absolutely DETEST are (Titles?) "The Leader of the Pack" and "Tell Laura I lerv her"

YE GODS! even typing that makes my skin crawl.....
:eek:

[cs]

Good morning. Just got a chance to read a little and found this thread. First let me add that Quiet Riot is not a one hit wonder. Besides "Metal Health" and "Cum on Feel the Noize" there were hits such as "Slick Black Caddillac" and "Loves a Bitch". Dem my boys. :D The first concert I saw them at Whitesnake was the opening act.

Heres another 2 hit wonder for you. This band had 2 songs that made it fairly big. They were "Lipstick & Leather" and "Summertime Girls".

Now lets talk about Damn Yankees. Wasn't that Tommy Shaw, Ted Nuggent and Roy Orbision?

Chad

doorstop I can't remember who orginally did "Leader of the Pack" (Shandells maybe?) but Twisted Sister did a re-make that wasn't to bad.

[ 02-16-2004, 07:32 AM: Message edited by: cs ]

[Beowolf]

Roy Orbison? I think you might be thinking of the "Travelling Willburys"

Was that Roy Orbison, Eric Clapton, and Tom Petty?

[cs]

Jeff, you are correct. Still not thinking clearly this morning. Somehow someway I intermixed the two groups. Either I'm just tired or old age is creeping up.

Chad

[Roger Stouff]

The Wilburys were:

Roy Orbison
Tom Petty
Jeff Lynne (ELO)
George Harrison
Bob Dylan.

:cool:

[mmd]

You both need another cup of coffee. The Travelling Wilburys consisted of Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynn, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison.

[Mrleft8]

Break up song was Greg Khyn

[Willin']

The Breakup Song was done by the Greg Kihn Band. Greg Kihn's been a radio DJ in the South Bay Area for a coon's age now!

[mmd]

I'm not sure who professed "lerv" for Laura ;) :D , but Richie Valens wrote "Tell Laura I Love Her", and "Leader of the Pack" was indeed co-written by The Shangri-La's and Shadow Morton.

How about, who wrote and performed the theme to "Hawaii Five-O"?

[Willin']

Ya beat me by a minute, Lefty. But I've got other answers... I just type at a glacial pace redface.gif

[Willin']

OOOh OOOh, I know, I know...the Ventures, in perhaps the biggest stretch ever for a surf guitar band!

[Willin']

Naw, Jeff.. the song the girl was asking about was 'Sugar Sugar', by the Archies. I was embarassed that I knew the song then, and of all the things I can't remember these days, why can't that song be one of them?

[Willin']

Roger, would that be Gerry Rafferty and 'Baker Street'?

[cs]

Thanks for the clarification there Roger, but nobody has yet to answer about "Lipstick & Leather" and "Summertime Girls"

and heres another, although this group is not a one hit wonder. Who re-did "Walin the Dog". Hint when I say them they oppened for Billy Squier.

Chad

[Willin']

MM, 'Journey to the center of your mind' was a young Ted Nugent in the Amboy Dukes.

Okay, I hear my mama callin', gotta go.

Cheers,

Mark

[Beowolf]

OOOH OOOOH OOOOH!!!

Gerry Rafferty was part of a duo that were a one hit wonder.

Name the duo and the song!

[Beowolf]

Lipstick and Leather....That's the Red Rocker, Sammy Haggar (Right?)

Jeff

[Beowolf]

Nope....Didn't the J. Guils Band sing Centerfold?

Jeff

[mmd]

Jeff, I think that it is Y&T. I liked their album artwork, but regretted spending the money on the actual LP.

Edit: Here is one for you '80's techno-pop fans: Who did "Hyperactive"?

Centerfield...Centerfold....It's my day off. redface.gif :confused:

[Wild Dingo]

Just as a clarification here... "Cum feel the noise" by British band Slade {Noddy Hodder {sp?} lead singer now fronting ACDC} was a 70s hit not an 80s hit... can still remember playin me first electric guitar to that and at the time I was around 14 so definantly 70s... and doin a fine rendition of that song vocals like a gravel train!

Bob Geldof was knighted for his work for humanity with the "Bandaid" world concert the recording came from the concert... and hence his title of Sir Bob Geldof bestowed by HRH Queenie Lizbaby rocker she be from way back!! :D Boomtown Rats being his band biggest hit I dont like Mondays

And me main man David Major Tom Bowie is in Perth NOW!!! AWEFLAMINSOME!!! :cool:

[ 02-16-2004, 08:50 AM: Message edited by: Wild Dingo ]

[Beowolf]

Now I'm confused (Too many lines in the water)

Whose Y&T and what did they sing?

Jeff

[cs]

Nope Jeff, Hagar had hits like "VOA" and "Three Lock Box" and who could forget "I can't Drive 55".

About my reply earlier now that I've hit my third cup of coffee I realize I was thinking of John Cafferty (sp?) & the Beaver Brown Band and there nubmer #1 hit was "Centerfield" You know "put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today. Look at me I can play centerfield."

And yes the J Giles Band did "Centerfold"

Chad

[cs]

Jeff it seems this thread is moving faster than I can post. Y&T did "Lipstick & Leather" & "Summertime Girls".

I'll throw another line out there. Who did "Life is just a Fantasy?"

Chad

[Wild Dingo]

Another 12... mmm maybe not so much one hit wonders the bands but one hit wonder songs...

1) Popcorn
2) Bicycle song
4) Hush
5) Ant music
6) Anarchy
7) Bloody well right
8) Pick me up on the way down
9) Guitarman
10) Ahab the Arab
11) Israelites

My Shorona...The Knack...Bit'o Trivia-The lead singer is the brother of Geoffrey Figer, the original attourney of Jack Kevorkian.

Back to my Gerry Raferty Question...THe song in question is in a Tarentino Movie (I know this won't help everyone)

Jeff

[mmd]

Jeff - re: Bloody Well Right (my best imitation of Homer Simpson) Duh-ohh! I knew that. Hopefully that's my last brain-fart this morning.

Popeye - That would be the Wolfman, no?

Remember John Kay? What was his band and the controversial long song of 1967?

[Beowolf]

John Kay currently sings with Steppanwolf. Don't know if he always did. My Dad was in Junior high during the year in question.

Jeff

[cs]

Jeff, John Kay is Steppenwolf and the song that caused such flack was "The Pusher" and the flack was "G**D*** the Pusher Man"

Go to the front of the class, Chad! Now, about that edit to my post back there a ways:

Here is one for you '80's techno-pop fans: Who did "Hyperactive"?

[Beowolf]

Another Bit'O Trivia...

While student teaching, I had John Kay's son in one of my classes. I also had Dan Marino's niece in the same class.

Last hint on the Duo...

The other member of the duo was Joe Egan.

Jeff

[Roger Stouff]

Willin' has the Rafferty question right.

The answer to Jeff's related question is Gerry Rafferty was with Stealer's Wheel, and the song is "Stuck in the Middle With You."

I always thought Rafferty was one of the finest artists in the industry, with a superb voice.

[brad9798]

Gary Newman- In Cars ... I think this was mentioned earlier ...

How about some Elvis Costello- Anyone remember 'veronica?'

How about: 'On desert moon' another Styx voice (dennis deyoung)

How about the 'classic' eddie murphy hit from 1985/86- 'my girl wants to party all the time'

How about Modern English ... anyone? anyone? Bueller?

Let's talk about some fun albums- How about Ktel? High Voltage ... that was a classsic! :eek:

I really like this thread. Thanks Jeff!

[brad9798]

Oh, and isn't hyperactive a song by Thomas Dolby ...

[mmd]

Yup.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did "Fishin In the Dark." Question, what top 40 song did they do before the went country?

Another quick question. Who did "If you wanna get to Heaven...?"

Chad

[Beowolf]

CS...I have no clue, but I'm gonna guess Three Dog Night.

Jeff

Nope Jeff, you ain't even close. The name of the band has something to do with a mountain range and being a daredevil.

Chad

[Donn]

No...Tallahatchie.

what's a Doobie?

[cs]

A list of unanswered questions:

1. Who did "Life is just a Fantasy" or it may actually be called "Fantasy"

2. Who did "If you wanna get to heaven.."

3. What top 40 song did the Nitty Grity Dirt Band do before the went country?

And I'll add:

4. Who did "Don't Pay the Ferryman"

Chad

[mmd]

The answer to No. 4 would be Chris de Burgh, I believe.

[cs]

You are correct. I do beleive though that it is spelled DeBerg, but since we can't use Google I can't confirm it.

Chad

[cs]

Another clue for #2 is that they also did "Jackie Blue"

Chad

Life is Just a Fantasy - The Aldo Nova one?

[Otter]

And now the answers to mine

"She's so selfish" - The Knack

"Season's in the sun" - Terry Jacks

"Undercover Angel" - Alan O'Day

"Hey Mickey!" - Toni Basil

"Different Drum" - Stone Ponies (lead singer Linda Ronstadt)

"Don't Walk Away Renee" - The Left Bank

That's the first line of "Good Shepard" by Jefferson Airplane.

Dan

[cs]

Roger that would be incorrect. Before NGDB went country they released a song called "Tamborine Man" which landed somewhere in the top 40.

mmd since you got the album in front of you I bow to your knowledge of the spelling of his name. Is the album any good?

And otter you are right that would be Aldo Nova.

Dan even though that may be a line from Jeffeson Airplane a band by the name of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils did a song about getting to Heaven by raising a little Hell.

I'm not sure if this is the correct title to the song but here it goes:

Der Commissar

Still looking for the group that did "Head to Toe"

[mmd]

Chad, I have De Burgh's "Into the Light" album on the player today. It is a nice, well crafted collections of songs, the most likely to be recognized id "Lady in Red", but no knockout songs. De Burgh must have more than two dozen albums out by now and I have heard less than half and own only three. His best album, IMO, is "Spanish Train & Other Stories" with the best song a toss-up between "Spanish Train" and "Patricia the Stripper".

[cs]

Don't turn around uh, huh, De Commisor is in town. or something like that. Can hear the song but can't remember the group.

Chad

[Popeye]

Chad

[cs]

What, no more takers on "Teasin, Pleasin?" A hint, this group also did a tribute to Alice Cooper called "Scared"

Chad

Alice Cooper...... I was really bummed out in 1978 when we cranked up "schools out for summer" and our High School teacher informed us that Alice Cooper was 30!!!! years OLD!! :D

I've not read the thread, but did this one by 'Looking Glass' make it?

Brandy (You're A Fine Girl )
( Looking Glass )

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
------------------------------------------------

It's weird how pop music impinges on us, especially when we're 13. This band never recorded anything else worth hiccuping over, but even today when this song comes on the radio I stop and remember. It's really kinda a nice 13 year old's ballad. Catchy. Plus, it's about sailors and seaports and the sea, sorta. smile.gif

Since nobody seems to know the answer to one I posted earlier I'll go ahead and give it. "Teasin, Pleasin" is by Dangerous Toys.

CS Bangels is correct,Police is not...Think female.

[Willin']

I'm pretty sure the band you were referring to 2-3 pages back was the Ozark Mountain Daedevils, Chad. Jackie Blue was a really big stretch for a hard core country band.

Blinded By the Light- Bruce Springsteen...the kids in the hall did a sendup on the 'Wrapped up like a (douche, deuce, loofa..)' line about 10 years ago that's a crackup

Voices Carry- Till Tuesday w/ Aimee Mann

Take My Breath Away-the song that destroyed Berlin

Going back a few posts-Ahab the Arab was by Ray Stevens.Blinded by the light may have been the work of Bruce Springsteen.

[Beowolf]

OK...Here's an obscure one. This is hands-down, my favorite band of all time. They had maybe a couple of songs that received some air-play, but only one true hit. The song is called "Joey."

Who is it?

[Garrett Lowell]

Concrete Blonde. Saw them in Baltimore with The Lemonheads, Buffalo Tom, and the Gigolo Aunts back in 1990.

[Jim H]

This one's too easy:

Jesse's Girl

[brad9798]

Concrete (not to be confused with four non) blonde(s).

Rick Springfield- for Jesse's girl.

How about- Everybody wants you from the album- emotions in motion???

[Jim H]

and just on the edge of the 80's:

Flirting with Disaster

[Jim H]

I knew it would be too easy. :D

[cs]

Jim, did someone post the answer and take it away? Besides that's not their best song. What is their best you ask? Why that would be "Fall of the Peacemakers", and the group is Molly Hatchet.

Chad

[John B]

remember the song by Extreme.. don't know the name of it. very nice ,quiet vocals, very melodic love song of some sort. Families and little old ladies went out in their droves to buy the album only to find that the rest of the album was heavy rock :eek: bit of a shock for Nana when the next track clicked over LOL.

might have been early 90's now I come to think of it.

WARNING: Nasty content in post!

John B. - a funny anecdote along the lines of your "Nana was shocked" ...

In '79 I was working the Christmas rush for a friend in a stereo/record shop when a sweet little blue-haired granny came up to me to ask for help finding a record that her granddaughter wanted for Christmas. When she replied to my question that the album desired was Frank Zappa's "Zappa in New York", I tried to delicately suggest that maybe another album would be more appropriate coming from Grandma. However, after chiding me for presuming she was an old fogey when in fact she was a "pretty cool Granny" in the words of her grandchild (a young woman who obviously knew how to suck up to and manipulate old folks), I acquiesced and guided her to the desired album. The transition from beaming Grandma to shocked senior citizen as she read the songlist was priceless. IIRC, it goes, "Titties & Beer", "I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth", "The Illinois Enema Bandit", etc. She looked at me in mild panic and said, "Do you happen to have something else for a teenage girl from a not-so-cool Granny?". :D

[Beowolf]

Brad: That's an easy one...Billy Squire.

Since you and Garrett jumped on my tough one so easily, let's see if I can step it up a notch on the Concrete Blonde...

Although it receive no (or very nearly no) airplay, their most popular song was not written by any member of their group, but instead by the front man for another group that's been mentioned in this thread.

Name the song and the group that the writer sang for.

Although Googling's not allowed, you could go out and purchase the Still In Hollywood CD to get the answer.

[cs]

Just needed to make a correction. "Fall of the Peacemakers" is off of the self titled album, Molly Hatchet.

Chad

[brad9798]

Boy, Jeff- I don't know that one ... other than they have some neapolitan-chick in the group!

How about Walking in Memphis?

Or, Black Velvet (you Southerners should get this one!)

Andy Prieboy.

Andy's the frontman for Wall of Voodoo. (radio....radio...oleo...radio)

[Donn]

Fastway did most of the soundtrack, and Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne were in the flick.

[Donn]

Stacy Q.

[Garrett Lowell]

As for Trick Or Treat, I know Gene Simmons was in it, briefly. And the soundtrack was by my boys Fastway, but their best song wasn't on it (Say what you will). I actually bought that soundtrack for my then-new cassette player, but it was horribly, and I gave it away.

[Garrett Lowell]

Ahh, that's right, Mexican Radio. I still have that cassette, too. I bet it doesn't work anymore because I played the hell out of it. Nice, Donn! I never liked her music, but my girlfriend at the time did, and I have to say I recall she was a hottie.

"Highway Song"

"Never Been Any Reason"

"Fly Like an Eagle" (not Steve Miller)

Never been any reason was done by a Joe Walsh-fronted band, but I can't remember their name. In my mind, Bruce Cockburn's best song is "If I Had A Rocket Launcher".

[Donn]

Call to Your Heart - Guiffria

You're good Donn. I had forgotten about that tune, but I was cleaning up the basement, and opened an unpacked box, and there it was.

[Allen Foote]

in another hint:about 9 years ago they had
a song that made a breif showing on the charts
called "Kiss Them for Me".

Yes "The Highway Song" was Blackfoot, and how many here thinks that "The Highway Song" sounds real similar to "The House of the Rising Sun" esp at the begining.

Alright over to another tack, who did "Dirty Laundry" and who did "Smuggler's Blues"? A little hint it is 2 different people but they do have ties to one another.

Looks like no one caught Hocus Pocus yet, done by the Dutch group Focus. That LP was just the opposite of John B's Extreme album...one rocker with a bunch of soft mush filler.

Never Been Any Reason was a true one hit wonder by Head East.

Annie's Song was written by Kenny Loggins but made a hit by Ann Murray

I kinda thought Sugarloaf was out of Colorado for some reason. When they split up some members formed a group called Seatrain.

I think I've got all the loose ends here.

Willin' are sure about Annie's Song. My version is by John Denver and I thought he had written it for his first wife.
