19. Ray Charles - You Don't Know Me

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, yes! Except, no. My cover is by Michael Buble. Is a lovely song though, no matter who sings it. You get the points because dude, EVERYONE has sung that song!

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Woo!

I just knew Ray Charles' version, so *blush*.

2. Secret Love - the only version I know is Doris Day *g*

[deannie.livejournal.com]

You are correct ma'am--though that is not the version I have. Still, if I made you guess the exact version, we'd be here all day. I have some seriously weird covers lurking in my iTunes.

[thefannishwaldo.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :)

5. Real Slim-Shady by Eminem

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Nope. TOTALLY different genre!

[carta.livejournal.com]

I'm going to say Pirelli's Miracle Elixer - although my first instinct was Will Smith, haha.

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Well, my iTunes, puzzlingly, says that it's actually "God That's Good," but I'm inclined to follow, you know, the WORDS of the song. *g*

#12

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

Called you so many times today
and I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say

"I can't stand losing you" by the Police.

Also, 15 has to be "Canary in a Coal Mine" by the same group, though I don't recall that as the first line.

Re: #12

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Yes on one, no on two. (points if you catch the movie line reference)

The horrible thing is that I've just found a typo in the lyrics of #15. It's actually "You're a canary, I'M a coalmine." *facepalm*

But it's still not the Police.

No matter where you go... ;)

[rgbrobbie.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh-kay, I think I got a couple here, and a third one's buggin' me but I'll have to try figuring it out later:

#4: Is it "Loves Me Like a Rock", by Paul Simon?
#8: "Karma Chameleon", Culture Club.

AND I (sorta) got the third:
#14: "Everything's All Right" - Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack (don't know singer but I'm guessing Yvonne Elliman?)

GOSH watta loser (moi, I mean MOI)

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Um, no, yes, yes. *g*. I thought you might be one of the ones to guess the JC Superstar line. I love that musical SO much! And yes, it's the Yvonne Elliman version.

And you're not a loser--you're a geek! *g* Geeks are cool!

13. "Question" by the Moody Blues. Or maybe "The Question". I can't remember exactly.

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Hey, I recognize that icon! *g*

Yes--it's The Question. I loves my Moody Blues! This meme is great because it lets me remember that I have an awful lot of good music in there--Karma Chameleon notwithstanding *snerk*.

[capecodgirl.livejournal.com]

and oh yeah, 20. "Major Tom", by I can't remember gahhhh!

[deannie.livejournal.com]

I might just have to give that one to you, but I'll see if anyone else can guess the artist. *g*

[capecodgirl.livejournal.com]

Peter Schilling

duh

*smacks self*

(I knew you'd remember the icon!)

[deannie.livejournal.com]

I still have it on my icon list, I think. *g*

And yes, it's Peter Schilling. That album has some of the best songs!

#21

[bthebuff.livejournal.com]

Is that the song from the early early 80's about come dancing, all her boyfriends used to come and call / Why not come dancing, it's only natural ... I have no idea who did it.

Am probably obnoxiously wrong, but that's what popped in my head.

Re: #21

[deannie.livejournal.com]

Not obnoxiously wrong, but wrong all the same. :)

It's "Man, It's So Loud in Here" by They Might Be Giants.

*snerk*

Re: #21

[bthebuff.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would not have gotten that.

But do you remember that other song? :)
