Oh, didn't see that Aerosmith was already guessed. I'll do:

7. The Posies - Frosting On The Beater

Re: Cover Me, Game Eleven

Brian Ibbott — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:13:05 -0000

1. The Art of Noise - Daft
18. Aerosmith - Rocks
10. The Strokes - Is This It (the UK album cover was much better - but not usable for this!)

No butt kickin' necessary! It was great to meet you - and the knowledge you have bestowed upon me I will take with me for the rest of my life. The knowledge of how to open a non-twist-off beer bottle without using an opener, that is.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:46:12 -0000

1 is Dave Clark Five's "Over and Over", and
14 is Young MC's "Bust A Move"

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:51:07 -0000

Is #9 Dion's cover of "In The Still of the Night"?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:53:58 -0000

#21 is Deep Purple by Nino Tempo and April Stevens

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:05:23 -0000

Is that Sarah Vaughn "Lullabye of Birdland"?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:06:47 -0000

Almost all the songs were Billboard #1 singles. Was "Bust A Move"?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:08:12 -0000

Gah! "Button Up Your Overcoat"

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:08:42 -0000

Oh, I guess not. (grin)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 20:44:57 -0000

9 is "Little Star" by the Elegants (1958 gave it away)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Two

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:50:24 -0000

Right. It could be Peaches OR Herb. Or Marylin McCoo OR Billy Davis Jr.!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:06:39 -0000

Love You Til The Day I Die - Crowded House (brilliant!)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:09:12 -0000

And the Art Of Noise - Close To The Edit (again, brilliant!)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:10:15 -0000

Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It (could be wrong about the song title)?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:15:04 -0000

Well, I'm a huge Crowded House fan, so that's a hard one to slip by!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 17:39:31 -0000

Is #3 "Why Can't I Be You" by The Cure?
And #19: "Everything Counts (In Large Amounts)" by Depeche Mode?

Man, these last few are tough!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:20:02 -0000

I also think it was Peace Together, but part of the clue doesn't fit.

Sinead appeared on the album (and sang in the title track with Peter Gabriel, Nanci Griffith and Feargal Sharkey), but the other track she collaborated on wasn't a cover: Religious Persuasion, an Andy White song that was performed by O'Connor, White and the great Billy Bragg.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:53:02 -0000

David - I want to thank you for these contests. They're great fun!

(and anything that involves covers is a huge plus for me. See www.coverville.com)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:32:21 -0000

I think 11 is "Strange Way" by Firefall.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:40:04 -0000

Were Lisa marie's guesses correct, by the way? (or at least three of them?) :)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:29:08 -0000

Is Jim Keltner the drummer for all of these?

We should be seeing a Rockpile track on here!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:37:45 -0000

And the final song...is it "Don't Bug Me When I'm Working" by LIttle Village? (They were such a great band)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:47:52 -0000

Woo-hoo! Actually, this is my first win. I've guessed a lot in the past couple weeks, but never won!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Four

Brian Ibbott — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:38:40 -0000

Sweet! I'll send my info right away!

Re: Name That Tune, Game Five

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:55:45 -0000

Lollipop - Chordettes for #1
Uptown Girl - Billy Joel for #11
Wild Wild West theme by Richard Markowitz for #16 ???

Re: Name That Tune, Game Five

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:57:33 -0000

Oh sorry, since #11 was already guessed, I'll change my second guess to "Walk Don't Run" by the Ventures for #12.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Six

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:11:56 -0000

17. The Laughing Gnome - David Bowie

Re: Name That Tune - Game Nine

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:57:11 -0000

#2: Don't Talk To Strangers - Rick Springfield
#4: I Do The Rock - Tim Curry (excellent!)

Re: Name That Tune - Game Nine

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:58:03 -0000

Is #7: "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones?

Re: Name That Tune: Game Ten

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:42:24 -0000

#1 Shout - Tears For Fears
#4 Time - Alan Parsons Project
#8 Drive - The Cars

All single-word titles?

Re: Name That Tune: Game Ten

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:20:44 -0000

Is #24 "Run" by Collective Soul?

Re: Name That Tune: Game Ten

Brian Ibbott — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:57:57 -0000

Man, even with the longer sample, I still can't place #30. It sounds like the intro to Weezer's "The Sweater Song", but I know that's not it.

Re: Name That Tune: Game Ten

Brian Ibbott — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:58:23 -0000

Sorry - meant the puzzle song, not #30.

Re: Dw. Dunphy On… Cover Songs â Why and Why Not

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:35:56 -0000

Thank you so much for the kind words.

I almost wish I hadn't just posted a Hall & Oates Cover Spectacular on the same day you suggested people check out the site.

Almost.

1. I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
2. Draggin The Line - Tommy James & The Shondells
12. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston?

Re: Name That Tune, Game Seventeen

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 16 May 2008 17:11:11 -0000

#17 - Over and Over - Dave Clark 5
#21 - Black Velvet - Alannah Miles

Re: Name That Tune, Game Seventeen

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 16 May 2008 17:18:11 -0000

Whoops - missed that previous guess for Alannah.

Re: Name That Tune, Game Eighteen

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 23 May 2008 20:43:03 -0000

No updates yet? You're torturing those of us too lazy to write down which ones are still unguessed! :)

Re: Name That Tune, Game Nineteen

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:59:34 -0000

#23 Against The Wind - Bob Seger
#25 - Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John

3. Kicks - Paul Revere & The Raiders
18. Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band

(I know, I know, low hanging fruit)

Re: Name That Tune 28: Coverville Edition | Popdose

Brian Ibbott — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:41:14 -0000

So far all guesses are correct: Tainted Love, Never Can Say Goodbye, Istanbul (Not Constantinople), Nothing Compares 2 U, All Along The Watchtower and Comfortably Numb.
