At last I got round to it....

Enjoy (and as always -don't ask me for any help - I know nuffink!)

Here's the first 49 out of 200...


1 I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
2 I'm a million different people from one day to the next
3 It's calling you my dear, out of reach
4 Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me too
5 Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality
6 He wants to be like you man, he likes you more than I do
7 Mini skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle back in '63
8 You know we never get far driving around in a stolen police car
9 The love that I was giving you was never in doubt
10 I believe in Hollywood, don't believe that love must bring despair
11 In my dreams I'm dying all the time
12 You and me were meant to be walking free, in harmony
13 You can wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine
14 Pour my life into a paper cup. The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
15 I'm losing, I'm bluesing, but you can save me from madness
16 We like our fun and we never fight. You can't dance and stay uptight
17 Don't ask me because I don't know why
18 As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life
19 You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
20 There's things I want. There's things I think I want
21 You're the book that I kept open and now I've got to know much more
22 Feeling kinda groovy working on a movie (Yeah, right!)
23 Just like the prodigal son I've returned. Anyone stepping on me, you get burned
24 But if your mind's neglected, stumble you might fall
25 Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
26 We don't talk about love, we only want to get drunk
27 Well the truth may come in strange disguises. Send the message to your mind
28 We're the litter on the breeze, we're the lovers on the streets
29 Lying there dying in each other's arms "Oh" you said to me "Don't worry"
30 Tomorrow could be too easy and today is gonna be too near
31 Do you think I miss you? Do you think I care? Do you think I'd lay down and die?
32 Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
33 Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
34 I had to crucify some brother today
35 If there was a problem, yo, I'd solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
36 So give me your heart, make it real or else forget about it
37 Mesdames, Messieurs, le disk-jockey est de retour
38 I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
39 Baby, how can we make love, if we can't make amends?
40 Did you ever stop to notice the crying earth, the weeping shore?
41 You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
42 And you know it ain't fiction just a natural fact
43 Right about now, the funk soul brother
44 I was right about the whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins
45 Sometimes the snow comes down in June, sometimes the sun goes round the moon
46 I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
47 She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls
48 I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between
49 When I'm with you I am filled with emotion, can't you see that I'm giving you devotion?

39 Livin' on a prayer Bon Jovi (really not sure on this one!)

will keep trying!

My mind is going ...

3. Something about a beach - All Saints

Not very good, was I?

The trouble is, I think, is that I sing along to lots of songs, but don't know the actual words! Just make them up as I go along (which is okay until my recently-turned 5 year old son corrects me with the correct words!!!).

Ah Lizzer this was great fun, but very frustrating! And I now have the chorus of Gangsta's Paradise running around in my head!

Yes sobernow, but for sheer poetry how can you beat "We don't talk about love, we only want to get drunk"... I'm kidding!!!

Zoe and Leese you are legends! But surely you guys have made some of these names up - like Kinky Afro??? And Scooby Snacks??? Okay I'll believe you...but I feel old...Speaking of which I'm sure Vanilla Ice (35), Paula Abdul (42) and Kim Wilde (4) are all pre-90's songs!?

Here's my contribution:
12. Rome wasn't Built in a Day - Morcheeba
36. Smooth - Santana
41. Can't Fight the Moonlight - Leeann Rimes

We still have numbers 10, 14, 17, 23, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 39 (which is really bugging me!), and 44 to get. HELP! Can we have the answers yet Lizzer? Pleeeeease!?

I'm afraid 39 is Michael Bolton. But can't remember what the song is called (thank god).

Ok ready for some more? Tough, you can have 'em anyway!

Mollipops - as I've mentioned don't ask me for the answers I know NOTHING!!! (Well I'll see what I can do, shall I?!)


50 Look at me babe, if I'm with you, you know you gotta have hope
51 Don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep
52 She leads a lonely life
53 I know that was then but it could be again
54 It's that little souvenir of a terrible year which makes me wonder why
55 Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday
56 My power, my pleasure, my pain
57 So when I'm lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head
58 I'm singing it loud and I don't care
59 I was born long ago. I am the chosen, I'm the one
60 Don't believe in love, don't believe in hate, don't believe in anything
61 Things ain't cooking, in my kitchen
62 Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
63 Don't cry for me next door neighbour
64 We'll spend our time with a bottle of wine and a love that knows no human state
65 Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
66 Honey came in and she caught me red-handed creepin' with the girl next door
67 Our love is a mystery, girl let's get inside it
68 I wish I could freeze this space in time, the way I feel for you inside
69 I guess it doesn't really matter about the rain 'cause we'll get through it anyway
70 Then the lover that you miss will come to you on these cold, cold nights
71 And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
72 Though that was a good solution, hanging with the raisin girls
73 From the rooftop shout it out
74 And boy, I really miss you and all I want to do is kiss you
75 You should know, I could tell you're on some foolish mission
76 The girls need a break. Tonight we're gonna take the chance to get out on the town
77 Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away
78 They had style, they had grace. Rita Hayworth gave good face
79 Move in, now move out. Hands up, now hands down
80 Take me back to my sweet lavida. Find my love, my dolce vita
81 In No Man's Land
82 But then the sound of my desperate calls echo off these dungeon walls
83 I don't want to lose your love
84 I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade
85 So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
86 They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, Bob Seger, Sonny & Cher
87 I know just what you're saying so please stop explaining
88 You are my one and only. You gave that joy to me when my whole life was lonely
89 Walk me down the lane where shadows will be, will be
90 We'll be like Thelma and Louise
91 One kiss, heaven isn't far
92 There's a fire between us, so where is your God?
93 Open your mind, surely there's time to be with me
94 But I just bit on my lip and my face began to frown
95 Whatever happened to the life we once knew? Can we really live without each other?
96 I woke up and called this morning. The tone of your voice was a warning
97 With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us
98 Mad pleasure, blowing up your whole world. Whatever's clever, I got endless cash
99 Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
