So simple. I’ll give you the Lyric. Name the artist and song for 2 points. There will generally be a theme for each quiz.

Post your answer by 3pm AEST tomorrow. I will then collate the results. This is not battle of the fastest but how many you can answer.

Please post using the spoiler tag (remember you have till 3pm tomorrow to answer so you can edit your post) and also in the format as follows. If you don’t know a song leave it as artist / song title. Makes it easier to correct everyone’s answers and tabulate the results.

Replace the round brackets with square brackets.

I can hear almost all of the songs in my head but can’t remember who sang them or what they’re called or both. There’s only two where I have no clue at all.

-edit- I’ve been watching old Never Mind The Buzzcocks recently so I’m all over the 90s at the moment

Lyrics are hard when you have to answer a lot.

The tunes overlap or you can’t get the last answer out of your head.

Oh dang, wrong quiz! lol

Yes she did do that song but in Australia it’s Trisha’s version of the single that stayed the longest in the top 50. 110+ weeks from memory.

Also from memory was in Con Air?
