9. She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running / Like a watercolour in the rain

Al Stewart - The Year of the Cat

Don't know any of the others.

15. Oh, I can hear it.... I can't make my brain go on to any more of the lyrics though. ("My only prayer will be, some day you'll care for me...." And then I go to "Oh, please, stay by me... Diana," which does not quite seem to fit....)

19. "She's So High," I believe...

[rj_anderson]

The song is "It's Only Make Believe", originally by Conway Twitty, but my version is done by a really obscure 80's band (which nonetheless dominates my current MP3 playlist almost as much as a-ha does) called Cock Robin.

[lydaclunas]

Heh, it's nothing but a-ha! You say Talk Talk is your favorite -- your playlist says otherwise. ;)

And "She's So High" -- have I ever mentioned how much I detest that song?

[rj_anderson]

"She's So High" is the live Kurt Nilsen cover from his stint on Norwegian Idol. I keep meaning to take it off the playlist, since I've heard that song plenty enough times by now (although I still like it -- sorry!).

As for the presence of so much A-ha, that's because I haven't yet got around to burning any of my present CD collection to MP3 format. If you were to look through the CDs on my shelf, though, you'd find just two A-ha albums (both which I only bought through eBay in the last two weeks!) and a whole lot of Talk Talk and David Sylvian...

Well, I've probably got a few more than some ...

... but I got them from memory and not from doing a Google search!

1. "All The Things She Gave Me" -- Waterboys
6. "Stumble And Fall" -- Cock Robin
7. Some Michael Card thing?
9. "Year Of The Cat" -- Al Stewart
12. "All You Have To Offer" -- Kurt Nilsen
14. "A Sort Of Homecoming" -- U2
15. "It's Only Make Believe" -- Cock Robin (cover)
17. "Little Black Heart" -- A-ha
19. "She's So High" -- Kurt Nilsen (cover)

So what do I win, Sis?

Re: Well, I've probably got a few more than some ...

[rj_anderson]

I knew you'd get the most right, seeing as half those songs I got from you to begin with -- though you were wrong on the Michael Card one, it's actually Clay Aiken doing a cover of some Christian artist or other.

Oh, and you missed the other Waterboys song, "Further Up and Further In". Even so, I think you win the fur-lined soap dish.

midgewood58 got me into 24 a few weeks ago.

Yes, I agree with your little scream there.

Am now going to have to watch the other two seasons of this program...
