Next song..."White Wedding"

[Margie]

[d2vasquez]

Prince

and from my all time favorite band in the world (oops letting out a secret about me!!!)

"Wide Awake In America" - my all time favorite song too from 1984

[HeritageMom]

Here I am scrolling through and knowing ALMOST every song on here (and scheduling therapy tomorrow for depression because I can't possibly be "old" but I remember ALL of them!) and then Darla submits one I have NO idea about...the only thing I can think of is Pat Benetar....but not sure thats the song you want....

If I'm right....

Raspberry Beret

[d2vasquez]

Nope....not right sorry but yours is Prince - I noticed it's been quiet with no answer (not even from Margie's husband who has been right on top of most of these) but mine could be obscure to most so I might give a hint later on.....So it's still my song above....who can guess?? Believe me the band is still VERY much around so it's not your one hit wonder song.

[dlhoffer]

OK, Darla...the "in America" helped...I think its U2, right?

If so, how about

"You Might Think"

[Karen]

'you might think I'm crazy' quite possibly alot of people do lol would that be by The Cars :)

What about 'Don't Dream Its Over'

[dlhoffer]

LOL, Karen! Yours would be Crowded House, I believe.

How about:

"Your Wildest Dreams"

[d2vasquez]

LOL...sorry - I was singing it as I wrote...

Is yours The Moody Blues?

If so, then how about "I can't wait"

[HeritageMom]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Darla you are SOOOOO wicked at this! I can't wait as in "I can't wait a lifetime" by Asia? I'm probably SO not right...here's hopin

I'll tumble for ya

[d2vasquez]

No, sorry it's not right....but it is the right title this time but more a dance song.....but yours is Boy George. Next???

[d2vasquez]

Ok.....it was Nu Shooz - think they only had one hit.....make it easier - "Holiday".

[Allen]

(not even from Margie's husband who has been right on top of most of these)

Sorry. The 2 owners here have kept me swamped with DSP's year end accounting. Like that's important! :) It's not nearly as fun as this game. Sheesh!

Where were we? Oh, Madonna.

Next is..."Money for nothin'"

[dlhoffer]

Oh, those silly gals...they just HAVE to get their priorities straight! ;)

Yours would be Dire Straits.

How about...

"On the Dark Side"

[Samara]

What? They are having you do accounting? What are they thinking?

Eddie and the Cruisers? Or was that just the movie? I can't remember.

"Girlfriend In A Coma"........... one of my favorites!!!

[dlhoffer]

Eddie & the Cruisers is the movie its from...Bonus points if you know the band too, Samara! ;)

[lilac lady]

On the Dark Side was sung by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, (DH loves that cd) Girlfriend in a Coma is by The Smiths, I love it too :)

Tainted Love......

[dlhoffer]

Ooo, someone got it finally...good job! Yours would be Soft Cell.
How about...

"Wrapped Around Your Finger"

[Margie]

allen says it's the cranberries. (no i'm not making him work tonight!)

if that's right, then the next song is...
"Informer" no that was the 90's. how about...
"Photograph"

[dlhoffer]

Nope, sorry, not the Cranberries...Photograph would be Def Leppard though...anyone else for

"Wrapped Around Your Finger"

[Margie]

ah, you got him!! i had to look it up tho, so i'll let others answer. he was thinking of the cranberries song linger. which says You got me wrapped around your finger. Do you have to let it linger.
too funny! anyone else for the real wrapped around your finger?! :)

[d2vasquez]

It is The Police, right Lisa?

"I Eat Cannibals" - not me it's the song....

[hoskinsjan]

toto coelo

Didn't mean to turn you on (not you, the song, lol).

[Hershey]

Robert Palmer

If that's right go to Africa (the song not the country)

[MemphisScrapper]

ToTo and I LOVE the song Africa! Awesome!

How about Whip It (?)

[dapupsmom]

It's Devo...weird hats and all!

Let's try "sea of love"

[MemphisScrapper]

The Honeydrippers and, yes, I had to Google it!

OK, "Mexican Radio"...

[Hershey]

Wall of Voodoo. I too had to Google it! That was a hard one. This will be a little easier. Cadillac Ranch

[dapupsmom]

Okay, I did it a little differently. I yahooed it!
Anyway, it's Chris DeBurgh.

How about Panama?

[MemphisScrapper]

Van Halen and I didn't have to look this one up. It reminds me of that crazy David Lee Roth and I'm really glad I don't live next door to him...

OK, "Too Shy"...

And, to dapupsmom, Happy Anniversary, a little early...

[Hershey]

I never knew he did Cadillac Ranch. I only knew Bruce Springsteen did it. Learn something new every day don't we.

[ArtcTiger]

I wanna play! I can't believe this thread has been going on this long! I sooo remember the 80's!

Answer: Kajagoogoo- discovered by Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes!

next- "Two less lonely people"

[LadyKitara]

Air Supply!

next song - Walk This Way

[ArtcTiger]

Depends on which version.....
Aerosmith and Run DMC!

next-"What is love"

[ArtcTiger]

Ok...either the thread is done, or no one knows.....answer..Howard Jones.

[MemphisScrapper]

Ummm...actually, I think it's Haddaway. Nester Alexander Haddaway. I love this song so much I bought it from iTunes.

...and now, one of my absolute faves..."Captain of Her Heart"

[ArtcTiger]

Hey Memphis! I forgot about that song..I would say we were both right except that your "What is love" came out in the early ninties, my Howard Jones song of the same title came out in the mid eighties. iTunes is great though!:)
