Survive The Song Intros

[jp liz v1]

I know Dina Carroll but that song didn't register with me, she has a Christmas song

[Declan A Walsh]

I assume you are referring to Kids in America as that is the one that gets played most. Kim Wilde had a number of hits during the course of the 1980s and a few more in the 1990s. She even managed to have a hit entitled Cambodia!

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree I thought her biggest hit with Mel Smith

Just checked her chart entries in the UK. Kim got to Number 2 with Kids in America and You Keep me Hanging On. She, along with Mel Smith, got to Number 3 with that awful cover of that Christmas song. She also got to Number 3 with You Came - one of her songs I cannot remember. Incidentally, her follow up to Kid in America - Chequered Love - got to Number 4. That is a song I have heard sometimes on the radio.

I will take the safeness considering I never heard two of the songs! How long until Kol runs out of 80's songs we know and it's onto the Bon Jovi B-sides

[Jluv]

Losers lounge.. here I come

[jp liz v1]

I always thought Kim looked like Kelly McGillis from Top Gun so would mix them up

I think now she does gardening and Cadbury Darkmilk adverts

Dina Carroll I thought was Kate Bush, I was running up the wrong hill

[Kol]

@Jluv  and @E.N.

How are the trials going in the iconic LL here, how many penis and testicles eaten by now @Leg End Reject  @nothing    @ari101   @Mam of 4

It wasn't me, but I did briefly think Hungry Eyes had a Hold Me Now kind of vibe to it on my first listen last night

Kim also presents an 80s music show which is relayed on Classic Hits Ireland on weekday evenings.

Run Homer run!😜😜😜

[Homer J. Fong]

Ah well, I pretty much knew that was coming. After barely scraping past Rounds 2 and 3, my goal was to make it to the halfway point and I managed that so am happy enough.

Three of the four I missed are completely new to me, so best case scenario is that I would have forced a tie if I had got #6 right. 

"You Keep Me Hanging On" - I know the Supremes version but not that one.

"Crazy Train" - Lol, I guessed "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" by Bowling for Soup for this one.  Which, y'know, is also a song with guitars sung by a man....close enough right? 

"Don't Be a Stranger" - such a pretty intro, just listened to the whole song and it's a snoozefest. Kol already gave us the highlights in that clip. 

I am kicking myself a little over missing "Would I Lie To You". I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place a name or even a guess at the artist from it. I think Kol mentioned it was on MTV a lot in the early 90's so I'll use the "it was before my time" and "we only had four channels" excuses.   Shame, 'cause I actually quite like that song.....or at least I used to before now. 

Anyway thanks again for running @Kol  and good luck to everyone left. I'll enjoy unofficially playing along with my fellow Losers in the Lounge. 

And @nothing - bring me my cake, please!

[Leg End Reject]

Hard luck @Homer J. Fong, come join the mayhem in the LL.

[E.N.]

Close one Homer, unlucky

I piggybacked one, I suspect that just snuck me through, very lucky

I was the Hungry Eyes/Hold Me Now error. I had the right tune, just put the wrong lyrics into it

[Mam of 4]

Welcome to the lounge of gluttony and indulgence @Homer J. Fong ☺️

[Homer J. Fong]

Speaking of piggybacking - @Irish Aris , you were no help to me whatsoever in Round 2. Your lack of knowledge of Smokie has been duly noted. 

In fact, all my tokens were gone after Round 3 and not a single one of them did me any good whatsoever. So apologies if anyone tried to assassinate me tonight, I had nothing to leave you.

[Leg End Reject]

I'm not seeing the similarity between Hungry Eyes and Hold Me Now at all.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I don't know what Smokie is 

[Irish Aris]

Round 9 is live

Ah Kol, why couldn't you do these earlier, I know all 10 of them... well, 9 for sure, the 10th a very educated guess

I'm not seeing the similarity between Hungry Eyes and Hold Me Now at all.

Three syllables, starting with H, what more do you want?! 😋

Thanks for asking, Nitters. I'd like them to sound evenly remotely similar for a start.

@Irish Aris you never put in a request!
