Each line of this quite awful dreck that we shall laughingly call a story hides at least two song titles and often more! Can you spot the songs and identify the singers? If this proves popular, I may create more.. or not, depending on my mood!  Song Challenge"Tell me what we're gonna do now," Jackie Wilson said. "In a second," Joe Johnson replied. "If I was you, I'd be sitting on top of the world!" "Ten feet high?" Jackie asked cynically, "Some girls have no regrets but I'm anticonformity." "I believe in a thing called love," Joe admitted, shrugging. "I'm a love hungry man" "What's love got to do with it?" Jackie snorted. "Anyway," she laughed, "I'm holding out for a hero!" "Night after night?" Joe asked with embarassment "I want to be loved!" Jackie sighed, "It's just the way I am!" "You drive me crazy," Joe admitted. "It's what I like about you" "I'm not the girl for you," Jackie shrugged. "I'm not like the other girls" She laughed. "I'm versatile for discos and parties!" "Never say never," Joe grinned. "I'm not a bad valentine, and you're my number one!" |

I'm going to do this by lines
first three no idea
fourth line is too easy "I believe in a thing called love" by the Darkness and I want to say "I'm a love hungry man" is a Queen song but I may have that confused
Next line I know "What's love got to do with it" is Tina Turner, there are a few songs called "Anyway" one by OAR which is my answer and "I'm holding out for a hero" is McFly
"I want to be loved" is Bon Jovi and "the Way I am" is by Eminem
"You drive me Crazy" is by the crazy artist Britney Spears "What I like about you" is by the Romantics
don't know the next two lines

Here's what I can figure off the top of my head, in additions to those already listed.
"I'm Not The Girl" is by Rachel Farris (though it took me a while to remember her name ;D ).
"Number One" is the obligatory Skye reference. ;D

You're all doing very well! Still missed a few, mind, but then if it was THAT easy, it'd be a lousy game! ;D Most interesting thing is the large number of song titles that get re-used many times... *** There are a total of 25 songs I intended, plus one that SPS found I had not intended! |

All this music trivia scares me.   There are a total of 25 songs I intended, plus one that SPS found I had not intended! Let me guess, the Eminem one? ;D Man, the only one I would have gotten, too... Killerzzz |

Actually, no. I had not considered that 'Anyway' was probably a song title ;D The Eminem one is an answer for that song, but not the only one If you don't get these, don't worry - there'll probably be more sooner or later as the idea seems quite popular |

"Anyway" is a short song by Genesis which appeared on their album "The lamb lies down on broadway".

The Full List Is...Please remember that these are just the answers I intended (+1 added by Chaos' SPS). There are plenty of songs with the same titles by different artists, so any right answer is equally valid, whether I came up with it or not I'll add a 'first solved by' for each board, for purposes of bragging rights I could split them, sure, but I'm too lazy! I'll include the first person who got any good answer for each song. In case anyone is curious, here are the threads: Chaos CascadeThe Skye Sweetnam ForumTell me what we're gonna do now - Joss Stone Chaos: Galadriel SSF: North Of Bolton Jackie Wilson said - Dexy's Midnight Runners Chaos: SSF: North Of Bolton In a second - Aly & AJ Chaos: SSF: North Of Bolton If I was you - Saxon Chaos: SSF: Sitting on top of the world - Don McClean Chaos: Galadriel SSF: North Of Bolton Ten feet high - Andrea Corr Chaos: Galadriel SSF: Some girls - Rachel Stevens Chaos: SSF: Dog Johnson No regrets - Robbie Williams Chaos: SSF: Anticonformity - Krystal Meyers Chaos: SSF: North Of Bolton I believe in a thing called love - The Darkness Chaos: SPS SSF: Dog Johnson Love hungry man - AC/DC Chaos: Ubereil SSF: What's love got to do with it? - Tina Turner Chaos: SPS SSF: Dog Johnson Anyway - OAR (Thanks, SPS  Chaos: SPS (Obviously ) SSF: Holding out for a hero - Bonnie Tyler Chaos: SPS SSF: Dog Johnson Night After Night - The Sounds Chaos: Galadriel SSF: North Of Bolton Embarassment - Madness Chaos: SSF: I want to be loved - Bon Jovi Chaos: SPS SSF: Just the way I am - Angel Chaos: SPS SSF: Dog Johnson (You drive me) crazy - Britney Spears Chaos: SPS SSF: Dog Johnson What I like about you - Lillix Chaos: SPS SSF: North Of Bolton I'm not the girl - Rachel farris Chaos: Gray Lensman SSF: Not like the other girls - The Rasmus Chaos: Galadriel SSF: Versatile for discos and parties - Fuzzbox Chaos: SSF: Never say never - Vixen Chaos: Galadriel SSF: Bad Valentine - Transvision Vamp Chaos: Galadriel SSF: Number One - Skye Sweetnam Chaos: Gray Lensman SSF: TigerLily So well done to both boards! you found most of them overall, and hopefully everyone had fun tearing their hair out trying to work out what they'd missed! So - is this a good game and worth doing again in the future?

Each line of this quite awful dreck that we shall laughingly call a story hides at least two song titles and often more! Can you spot the songs and identify the singers? I didn't quite catch this ... you used the word "dreck" ? Has this travelled from the German language into the English language ? This is actually the second time I see someone using it ... the first time was an article in the late 90s I think in the New Scientist entitled "Star Dreck" - it was about waste of rockets orbiting around Mother Earth ... Actually, "dreck" means "dirt" and is pronounced almost identical as "trek" of "Star Trek" - only with a "d" instead of an "t". Sorry, but i couldn't resist. Go on with you thread, major ! |

Yeah, we snaffled it, Alrik! 'Dreck' means 'garbage' or 'rubbish' in English - in terms of something being very bad, not in terms of "I'm going to put the dreck out!" ;D
