The Topical Ten. Can you Guess them from the Clues ?

[OLD 55 6]

Sorry, nothing to do with medicine at all. Maybe my "clue" was misleading.

P.S. Who's UFO ? Is that "Doctor! Doctor!" the same as the Thompson Twins 80s song ? It would not make my Top Tens. Don't know about the Ramones either. Sorry Katie !

[edna 6]

#1: "Losing my religion"? REM

#8: "See you", Depeche Mode?

#10 Bad Bad Leroy Brown...Jim Croce

[edna 6]

#1: "You´re so vain", Carly Simon? Though I wouldn´t call "vain" Travolta...

[_Laurie_ 9]

Hey, Laurie, I think we should team-up again??!

I'd Love To!

[edna 6]

I'd Love To!

You´re best than me so I would be winning...

[_Laurie_ 9]

#8..I Just Want To Be Your Everything...Andy Gibb?

[Brad_M 3]

Q8: "I Only Want To Be With You" - Dusty Springfield

[_Laurie_ 9]

I think Shawna told him the answer

[phil 7]

D, I think 1. is Sky Pilot

10. Stagger Lee - Lloyd Price

and I'm not going to be petulant about it.

I couldn't help thinking this was a hint by way of an oblique reference to Petula Clark.

But then I can't find a Pet song to fit what hasn't already been answered.

10. Stagger Lee - Lloyd Price

Well done Bazooka !

Stagger Lee shot Billy for cheating at craps.

No, there's no Petula Clark songs in these ones.

.............................................

I'd better give some more clues for 1 and 8.

Q1. I go to Church. Why ?

The same as the 2 guys I mentioned follow their cult I suppose.

Q8. "The only thing I wanna do" are lyrics from an 80s #1 song.

[_Laurie_ 9]

I was singing to REO today...and realized I was singing all I wanna do is Keep On Loving You??

#8

#1..I Believe ? or

I Believe I Can Fly?

[OLD 55 6]

Keep On Loving You / REO Speedwagon it is Laurie.

You're very close with Q1. Because it's #1 it was a very big hit.

[OLD 55 6]

D, I think 1. is Sky Pilot

Good answer Phil. Tom Cruise in "Top Gun", and John Travolta as the Qantas ambassador. Not it though, sorry.

[phil 7]
