  • RLB · 3 months ago
    8. Is That Love? Squeeze
    16. Is This Love? Whitesnake
    23. Wouldn't It Be Good? Nik Kershaw

    easy one this week - but that's fun, too!
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Yeah, I just listened to these clues again for the first time in a few weeks, and I made this one really easy. Having said that...

    All guesses are correct, except for Whitesnake. And you will laugh out loud when you find out what band that is.
  • RLB · 3 months ago
    Argh. I pop my mouth off about "so easy," and get one wrong. (I would swear that's what it was - that 80s synthy so-called hard-rock...)
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Not a hard rock band, but rather an atypically aggressive solo from a pop band.
  • arensb · 3 months ago
    3. Comsat Angels - Will You Stay Tonight?
    23. Nik Kershaw - Wouldn't It Be Good?
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    2 who do you love- George Thorogood
    7 what have you don for me lately- Janet Jackson
    14 what would you say- Dave Matthews
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    Damn- I know the puzzle this week- but I will hold off until the update.
  • arensb · 3 months ago
    24. Men At Work - Who Can It Be Now?
  • Larsen67 · 3 months ago
    #18 - Would I Lie To You - The Eurythmics
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    Would I lie to you- Annie Lenox
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Man, what is it with you getting beaten to the punch by seconds every time? :)
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    oh yeah #18 and I'm tired of disqus taking too long. I've missed out on 4 songs so far.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    George Thorogood, Janet Jackson, Dave Matthews and Men at Work are correct.

    Comsat Angels are incorrect.

    Luffy, if you know the puzzle song, go ahead and guess it. I'm sure everyone else knows it anyway, and are just being polite by not guessing. It's all right, I know it's an easy one.
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    Puzzle- Moody Blues- Question
  • larsen67 · 3 months ago
    #22 soulds like "Come and Get It" by Badfinger, but that can't be right because it does not fit the "question" theme.
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    close- very close
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    I agree with the Badfinger
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    It is by another small group on the same record label
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Ha! You dog, you.
  • drxl · 3 months ago
    13. Travis: Why does it always rain on me?
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago

  • arensb · 3 months ago

    22. The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It In the Road?
  • larsen67 · 3 months ago
    ARGH!!! How could I mistake the "copy" for the "original" on #22??
  • arensb · 3 months ago
    For what it's worth, I've uttered more than my share of "D'oh!"s after reading the answers on Name That Tune and Cover Me.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Travis is correct as well.
  • drxl · 3 months ago
    29. KLF: "What time is Love?"
  • drxl · 3 months ago
    Sorry, I hate the new apple keyboard: 20.KLF: "What time is Love?"
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    5,. Can't we still be friends?- Todd Rundgren
  • drxl · 3 months ago
    16, What about Love? 'Till Tuesday
  • RLB · 3 months ago
    OOOOHHHH of course!
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Howard Jones, The Beatles, The KLF and Todd Rundgren are correct.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Til Tuesday is correct as well.
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    11 sounds like Pink Floyd, but the only question mark song is Is there anybody out there?
  • RLB · 3 months ago
    Was thinking the same thing. I thought these were easy; maybe not.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Muah ha ha ha ha! I thought that piece would throw people off. It's not Pink Floyd, but one of their members does make an appearance somewhere...
  • arensb · 3 months ago
    You forgot "In the Flesh?" and optionally "What Shall We Do Now?"
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    Knew it wasn't in the flesh. It actually sounds like Young Lust
  • RLB · 3 months ago
    19. Is that "Who Made Who?" sure sounds like AC/DC.
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    ok, wild guess. Is #20-who let the dogs out? Baha Men
  • yursistah · 3 months ago
    sorry it already was guessed correctly
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    AC/DC is correct.
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    11. Why Me?- Tony Carey

    Song was buggin me- thanks for the clue!
  • JohnHughes · 3 months ago
    ...or "Why Me?" by Planet P (Project)...
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Planet P, technically, but close enough for jazz. Is that Gilmour playing that solo? It sure sounds like him, but that wasn't even the song I was referring to when I mentioned that a Floyd member is on here somewhere...
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    I always thought it was Gilmour
  • steed · 3 months ago
    Figures, I literally just finished writing up Planet P for bottom feeders. I definitely would have known this one.
  • arensb · 3 months ago
    Are we up to P already? How time flies.

  • RLB · 3 months ago
    OK, Here's one I'm really unsure about.... 1. "Is It Love?" Mr. Mister.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Mr. Mister is correct!
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    It's 4:00 EST, which means it's time for CLUES:

    6. The album that I took this song from was featured in Cover Me, Game 31.
    15. Ugh, it kills me that no one's guessed this. The song made its debut on a soundtrack, then made its CD debut on another soundtrack.
    17. Your wife will probably get this one before you will.
  • kokorotrailer · 3 months ago
    15. How do you talk to an angel - The Heights
  • ATM Kid · 3 months ago
    Is 15. How Do You Talk to an Angel by The Heights?
  • ATM Kid · 3 months ago
    Is 15. The Heights' "How Do You Talk to an Angel?" (The early solo when the guitar intertwined with sax)
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Not the Heights.
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    15.Heart- What about love?
  • luffy66 · 3 months ago
    whoops not a soundtrack
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Not Heart, but read the above talk about Planet P for a clue...
  • steed · 3 months ago
    Based on the clue #15 could be "Is Your Love Strong Enough?" by Bryan Ferry.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    Finally. Bryan Ferry is correct.
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    All right, extra clues for the last two.

    6. If you own this album, odds are it's one of the last ones in your collection
    17. The big beat talks to him.
  • Name · 3 months ago
    17. What Kind Of Fool Am I? "Sir" Rick Springfield
  • Francis · 3 months ago
    Whoops, forgot to check in yesterday. But I guess I can help clean up the leftovers.

    #6: Zebra, "Who's Behind the Door?"
    #17: Rick Springfield, "What Kind of Fool Am I?"
  • DavidMedsker · 3 months ago
    And that's the ball game. Thanks everyone, and sorry about Cover Me popping up on the site by accident. For those who have already posted guesses, sorry, that game wasn't supposed to appear until September 7. All answers will be erased and we will start from scratch. See you next week for Cover Me, Game 40.
