#12: INXS, "Don't Change"

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

I knew that puzzle sample was too long. Congrats to Tuff Gong, who guessed the puzzle song. I wanted to use Elvis' "Don't," but there isn't a single second of that song that doesn't feature singing.

All guesses so far are correct.

Francis · 1 month ago

MarkoP means "Don't Bring Me Down," of course.

4 is Cheap Trick's version of "Don't Be Cruel"

volley · 1 month ago

6. REO Speedwagon - Don't let him go

RLB · 1 month ago

Here's a flyer - 18, Beatles' "Don't Pass Me By"?

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon are correct. The Beatles are incorrect. Only six left!

JerryM · 1 month ago

5. Don't Let Go - Wang Chung

arensb · 1 month ago

Is #11 "Don't Pay the Ferryman" by Chris De Burgh, by any chance?

volley · 1 month ago

11. maybe Don't cry by Asia

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

Wang Chung and Asia are correct. I meant to use Chris DeBurgh for this.

arensb · 1 month ago

Do I get any points for reading your mind? :-)

arensb · 1 month ago

None of the remaining songs have enough synth to be Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby", and I don't think there are enough singing-free parts in Mojo Nixon's "Don't Ask Me Why I Drink" for David to include it here. I don't think any of them are Pat Benatar's "Don't Let It Show" or Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now", good though those songs might be.

Somehow I don't think David would include KMFDM (Don't Blow Your Top) or Cabaret Voltaire (Don't Argue) or X-Fusion (Don't You See the Lies), so I guess I'm out of ideas.

RLB · 1 month ago

I don't think Dennis DeYoung wants it to end, either.

arensb · 1 month ago

John and John don't want to let's stop, either. But they have birdhouses in their souls, so what do they know?

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

I thought Don't Argue would be too obscure. Whenever I use club-oriented music, it's met with crickets. Plus, I still can't find an mp3 of my favorite mix of that song, which was done by John Robie. Anyone?

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

Oh, and I didn't use Don't You Want Me because I had just used it in a game a month or so back.

arensb · 1 month ago

Sorry, all I have is the album version from "Code".

arensb · 1 month ago

Amazon says it's on "The Original Sound of Sheffield '83/'87: Best Of".

19. Night Ranger "Don't Tell Me You Love Me"

Francis · 1 month ago

With "Don't Go" and "Don't Stop" both in there, there should also be "Don't Slow Down" (by Mr. Mister or UB40) to complete the Bizarro World Traffic Light set.

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

Night Ranger is correct. Looks as though those Robie mixes for Don't Argue hit Amazon tomorrow, yay!

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that one Terje has not stepped up to identify one of the remaining songs.

18. Johnny Cash "Don't Take Your Guns to Town"

drcastrato · 1 month ago

16 - some version of Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me?

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

Johnny Cash is correct. (Not much non-singing in that one, either.) All right, who's left? UPDATE with CLUES

1. "Don't Stand So Close to Me," The Police (drxl)

I can't believe no one has guessed #2: Paul Carrack, "Don't Shed a Tear." Steed, you should be ashamed of yourself.

eddie_w · 1 month ago

Shoot, I actually recognized that one too (I owned the cassingle at one point, so that song burned into my head long ago). Too bad I was a couple of hours late getting over here this time...

steed · 1 month ago

Oh, I am. And I've been trying to figure it out all day.

RLB · 1 month ago

Boy, now that I'm home and looking at my iTunes library... I believe you could do 25 *more* Don't songs.

DavidMedsker · 1 month ago

You bet. I had a huge list of songs, but went with what I owned.
