    TuffGong, those are all correct.

    But please, in the future, only three guesses between updates of the list (as it says in boldface in the rules up there in the post). Thanks!
  • TuffGong · 1 year ago
    Feh...rules! Never really had to worry about that, it's a rare rare occasion when I actually know more than three. Usually most of the easy ones are all guessed by the time I get to these. Sorry for breaking the rules!

    24 - 1980s track from acclaimed debut album by spinoff band of more famous band.

  • magkfingrs · 1 year ago

  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    "On, On, On..." by Tom Tom Club is correct.

    longer Puzzle Song clip
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    Puzzle Song - Hi, Hi, Hi by Sir Paul?
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    Or I guess technically it's a Wings song?
  • Eric · 1 year ago
    #13 is Bye, Bye, Bye by Jellyfish
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Correct:
    "Bye Bye Bye" by Jellyfish

    Incorrect:
    "Hi, Hi, Hi" by Wings
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    #4 Eye to Eye - Chaka Kahn
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Not "Eye to Eye" by Chaka Khan. Bigger star,
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I figured that one was a strech . . .
  • DavidMedsker · 1 year ago
    #4: "Mirror Mirror," Diana Ross (thanks for the Sembello clue, Scraps)

    I can't believe this group didn't get the Jellyfish song right away. That's what I get for leaving town on a Friday.
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    "Double Trouble" - Eric Clapton.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    "Mirror, Mirror" by Diana Ross is correct.

    "Double Trouble" by Eric Clapton is incorrect.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    The puzzle song is by one of rock's most famous and influential figures, and album track from an album that was not perhaps one of his most commercially successful but is one of a run of critically acclaimed albums.

    The puzzle song was also covered as a single by an influential Birmingham post-punk band a few years later.
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    "The puzzle song is by one of rock's most famous and influential figures, "

    Ah, shoot, to you guys that would be somebody like Elvis Costello! To me, that person would be Tony Iommi. Or to deconstruct it further, a tie between J.S. Bach and Robert Johnson. Thus the complete fail that has been me. But since the sound clip obviously doesn’t help me, I’ll keep trying with the clues . . . .It’s not like I could be working or anything . . .
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I assure you that you will agree with this musician's importance.
  • volley · 1 year ago
    Rebel, rebel by David Bowie?
  • volley · 1 year ago
    Rebel, rebel was covered by Birminghams also called post-punk band Duran Duran
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    Shoot, I didn't even think of Bowie. I think you got it, because I think Duran Duran did a version of it a while back.
  • ozarkmatt · 1 year ago
    Well I'm gonna go with another one, Neal Diamonds "Red Red Wine" also done by Birmingham's own UB40.
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    I had no idea so many songs could fit the clue at this point.

    It's not "Red Red Wine" by Neil Diamond or "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie. But it is one of those two musicians.
  • DavidMedsker · 1 year ago
    Here's my left field guess:

    David Bowie, "Station to Station"
  • Eric · 1 year ago
    Repetition - David Bowie
  • Scraps · 1 year ago
    Eric has it! "Repetition", from David Bowie's Lodger, later covered by the Au Pairs.

    Whew! Congratulations, Eric, and thanks to everyone who pursued this to the end.
