Name five songs that won at least one MTV Video Music Award in the 1980's. OK I'll give this a whirl hehe... 1. You Might Think - The Cars 2. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits 3. Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel 4. Addicted To Love - Robert Palmer 5. Papa Don't Preach - Madonna (I had to look up the last 2... sorry ;D ) Now... gimme 5 U.S. #1 singles by Paul McCartney! My turn...and I'm including Wings/duets, so I'm cheating a bit... 1. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey 2. My Love 3. Coming Up (Live at Glascow) 4. The Girl is Mine 5. Ebony and Ivory NOW--Give me five "flip sides" that wound up being more popular than the intended "A" side... (EXAMPLE--Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" was intentionally recorded so badly that DJ's were supposed to be aware that the OTHER side was the plug) |

(Original A-Side was "Love Is All Right", a vocal version of "The Horse") Girls School-Wings (A-side "Mull Of Kintyre" a huge hit everywhere BUT the U.S.) Atlantis-Donovan (A-Side "To Susan On The West Coast Waiting" barely made Top 40) Coming Up (Live At Glascow)-Paul McCartney & Wings (Studio A-side didn't fare as well) Gimme five hits that peaked on the chart at least 4 years after their initial release. |

I've Never Been To Me-Charlene (I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles-Proclaimers When I'm With You-Sheriff Red Red Wine-UB40 I also thought of Bohemian Rhapsody as well, since it went higher in '92 than in '76 |

ELVIS PRESLEY RINGO STARR MADONNA PAT BOONE JOHNNY CASH  Name five bands , with two-word names, where the name connotes something living and something non-living.  This is a real tough one, Alan. I got some help from my son, and made a couple of assumptions to answer this. Guns N Roses (assumes that "N" or "and" is not counted as a word Beach Boys Spice Girls (Assumes that the Spice is dried and therefore no longer living.) Marilyn Manson (Monroe is no longer living, Charlie, unfortunately, is.) Marcy Playground Here were my five: IRON BUTTERFLY STONE PONEYS GLASS TIGER STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK BUBBLE PUPPY  Gimme five songs by solo artists who's name (first and/or last) is a color. |
