I just want to say how much I miss Kirsty MacColl. She was one of a kind. Sigh.

Is #15 Neil Diamond - Love on the Rocks?

"Last Song" and "Shake It" are correct.

"Lady in Red" is incorrect.

Number 13 sounds like Chris DeBurgh to me, so let's go with "Lady In Red."

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

Number 12 is "Shake It," by Ian Matthews.

#6 is Lady by D'angelo

No harm! but #5 is not ELP. Band is considerably less well known (though they were popular in Canada), and most people think they're a one-hit wonder.

How mortifying. I got all excited because I never remember to get here early enough to guess. Apologies. Keep up the good work!

PS #5 has to be ELP... lucky man?

"Angel of Mine" is correct.

"Come Out and Play" is incorrect [and number 17 has already been guessed -- it's "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)"].

Kirsty MacColl's "They Don't Know" is correct, but has already been guessed.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

Gary Lucy — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 19:06:25 -0000

I know it's Kirsty MacColl...I'm gonna take a flying f ***at "They Don't Know"?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

Angel of Mine- Monica (Number 9)
Come out and Play- The Offspring (Number 17)

The acrostic is correct.

Also correct:
"Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)"
"Kansas City"
"Walking in Rhythm"
"Funky Worm"

18. Wilbert Harrison - "Kansas City"

Jack Feerick — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:59:30 -0000

Okay: the acrostic is "Killed by Mexican powerboat." Which is maybe kinda morbid, but if it helps everybody guess...

That works out to:

01 K Kinks, All Day and All of the Night (m)
02 I Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Hit Me etc (buffalo chipz)
03 L Lyle Lovett, If I Had a Boat (matthew bolin)
04 L Laura Branigan, Self Control (jerry)

11 X XTC, Respectable Street (mrs martin)
12 I
13 C
14 A Albert Hammond, It Never Rains etc (mrs martin)
15 N
16 P Portishead, Sour Times (jerry)
17 O
18 W
19 E Edie Brickell, What I Am (jerry)
20 R Ratt, Round and Round (david medsker)
21 B Big Star, The Ballad of El Goodo (thierry)
22 O
23 A
24 T Tracey Ullman, They Don't Know (buffalo chipz)

If 17 is Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) by Offspring, then Rich should get partial credit, since it's pretty much the same song.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

I had better make it clear in the future that you can always guess the puzzle song once between updates, regardless of your guesses at the other songs.

Go ahead and guess the acrostic. It helps everyone guess the songs.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

Jack Feerick — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:46:56 -0000

Are we allowed to guess the clue acrostic? Knowing it's a Kirsty song makes it a bit obvious...

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

MatthewBolin — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:43:13 -0000

It was familiar to begin with, but then I knew what it was immediately after figuing out the acrostic (about a hour ago--I was waiting in anticipation for you to post the update, having already giving my three guesses that round).

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

Scraps — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:35:54 -0000

17 is not "Come Out and Play" (the keep-'em-separated song).

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirteen

Scraps — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:34:56 -0000

The puzzle song is Kirsty MacColl's original recording of "They Don't Know". Well done Matthew Bolin! Did you recognize it or work it out then recognize it?
