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

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...

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

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

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

DavidMedsker — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:14:34 -0000

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.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

Francis — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:03:54 -0000

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.

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

arensb — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:59:43 -0000

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

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

DavidMedsker — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:56:53 -0000

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.

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

DavidMedsker — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:56:00 -0000

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?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

arensb — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:44:42 -0000

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

arensb — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:44:14 -0000

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.

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

11. maybe Don't cry by Asia

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

arensb — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:31:15 -0000

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

JerryM — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:27:44 -0000

5. Don't Let Go - Wang Chung

Re: Name That Tune, Game Forty-Two

DavidMedsker — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:20:04 -0000

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

#13 is Don't Look Back by Boston.

(Sorry, just wanted to be part of this "Great Minds" thing)
