DISCODISK you say the clues are bitches but you've come up trumps again, what can i do with people as good as you out there, make it harder (i thought had after last time).

I must just say at this point well done :D :D :D

I thought the clue "taeb eht" might be a hard one but you saw straight through it :-?


Definately not giving any clues at this point

[NickNack]

These are hard but I'll take some guesses:

#2: "How" by Flower
#10: "Over & Over" - Disco Circus
#12: "It Only Takes a Minute" - Tavares
#13: "Doctor's Orders" - Carol Douglas

Great quiz, Stan. I love your stuff even though I rarely get anything. :roll:

Question: If I'm right on number 12, 1986 was the remix, not the original release date. Correct?

[markydefad]

#8 Hit-N--Run Lover by Carol Jianni?

[keefelc]

Is #9 Stargard "Which Way Is Up"?

[DISCODISK]

hey STAN believe me TAEB EHT wasnt easy first im thinking 'tibet'.... :evil:
and i do hope the 60 second one aint gonna be the tavares 1986?????????? as thats the first thing i thought of likewise doctors orders,thinking that aint 75....oh my heads f****D already :lol:

[Stan]

12 & 13 are right but 2 & 10 are wrong
as for Tavares i was going by the UK single release
1986 CAPITOL TAV2

and finaly keef & marky your both correct :D :D

That only leaves 3 to go :roll:

No clues yet your far toooooo good

[NickNack]

:D Let's try # 2 again: "In The Bush" by Musique

[Stan]

:D Yeah that's the one NickNack

Only 2 left

[markydefad]

# 11 just came to me...

"Overnight Sensation" by Jerry Knight!!!! :D

[Stan]

It came to you very well marky :D

I thought that one definately would require clues :roll:

For those of you wondering what the ****

Cartoon mouse = Jerry, in armour = Knight, but the next day he was famous = Overnight Sensation

Only one left & i thought it was so much easier than this one :roll:

[NickNack]

Only one left & i thought it was so much easier than this one :roll:

The year doesn't match but I'll put it out there: "More, More, More" - Andrea True Connection.

This is a toughy, Stan. :D

[Stan]

The year doesn't match but I'll put it out there: "More, More, More" - Andrea True Connection.

This is a toughy, Stan.

Sorry NickNack it's not right, i'll try add a little clue

[Stan]

Got the year wrong see main Quiz :oops:

[NickNack]

"And The Beat Goes On" - The Whispers

This one is driving me crazy! :lol:

[Stan]

"And The Beat Goes On" - The Whispers

This one is driving me crazy! :lol:

Sorry NickNack, not right :(

The fans of the group are almost deaf, so what would they ask :roll:

[markydefad]

This is bugging me too!!!!

Would they say something like "Turn it up"? But I can't connect that with a song...at least not a well known one. :oops:

Oh wait...

Is it "Turn the Music Up" by Players Association???? That's too Brit of you, if it is.

[keefelc]

I was thinking Turn It Up too but that's a different year.

Another guess is Peter Brown's "Crank It Up," which is 1979. However, the clue alludes to a group.

Yikes! This one is difficult!

[Stan]

Is it "Turn the Music Up" by Players Association???? That's too Brit of you, if it is.

Yeah marky, well done :D :D it was the Players Association, a top ten hit here in March 1979

Didn't it reach the same heights in Your little country? :roll:

That completes things for now :cry:

I'll do another at XMAS if everyones up for it, maybe it'll have to be a little bit tougher due to the sheer class out there :o :-?

Anyone else got any Quizzes to keep us going :roll:
