#11 - "Look Out Cleveland" by The Band

1 - This still-well-known number one song has also been heard song on helium and as the tune for the chant sung by fans of an English football team.

4 - A top five hit and one-hit wonder, this song was written by a songwriter with many hits for many different musicians, who sometimes wrote entire albums for musicians. This song was originally recorded on one such album (though not this version of it).

6 - Surprised this is still around. A hit instrumental by probably the most successful composer of pop instrumentals in the rock era.

8 - A long album track from a much-praised recent album by a long-running indie band for whom this album was seen as a leap forward or a peak by many reviewers.

11 - An album track on an acclaimed classic rock album, a self-titled album that is not the artist's first album. This song was sung by Colin Farrell and Dallas Roberts in a movie.

17. An instrumental hit by a very famous musician who was not known for hit singles. When this song hit number one, the musician was at that time the oldest musician to have a number one single in the U.S.

19. "Memphis", yes, in a hit instrumental version by guitarist who had a deep influence on the blues-rock sound.

20. 1973 top-20 hit by a one-hit wonder. It was produced and co-written by Thom Bell, and the band toured with pre-Chic Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards.

24. Possibly the most obscure song here. From a recent album by a prolific indie duo. This is the only representation of an African city in the game.

19 is "Memphis", and was a big hit version, but not Chuck Berry. If I were at home, I'd choose another more distinctive section of the song.

6 is not Johnny Cash.

"Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston is correct. I've always loved that coda.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Nineteen

Chris — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:35:54 -0000

19 is definitely 'Memphis Tennessee' so it's just a case of getting the right version - Chuck Berry?

6 sounds like it might be Johnny Cash but I can't place the song - Folsom Prison Blues?
