I'm into piano stuff (hence my Winifred Atwell obsession), but I still think it still sounds great, sixty years on. Even now, it's got a real bite and sharpness to it that you don't often hear.

Anyway, over to Happycamper, who takes it with 4 correct answers (Reg had 3, Krazeeeyekilla 2 and LDS 2).

these are in chronological order of release which should resolve any ambiguities.

01) tequila
02) roxanne
03) physical
04) hero
05) tequila
06) hero
07) hero
08) roxanne
09) physical
10) tequila

Ha, clever, I like it. I think I know the originals of three:


1. The Champs
2. The Police
3. Olivia Newton-John

6. Enrique Iglesias
7. Chad Kroeger feat Rosey Scott

9. Dua Lipa
10. Raye

Oh and I think the first repeat 'Tequila' (no. 5) was Terrorvision.

8. Arizona Zervas

Great list.

8. Puff Daddy

Oh wait this is a misfire. I was just testing my weaponry. I was thinking of that tune P Diddy did where he nicked the riff that Andy Summers did on Police's Every Breath You Take. He never made a dime from that even though he wrote it, Sting took all the royalties which were about $4m

all correct.

Juddernaut88 wrote:6. Enrique Iglesias

6 correct.
7 good guess. i do think that fits with the timeline, but it was not the one i was looking for.

Juddernaut88 wrote:9. Dua Lipa
10. Raye

9 correct.
10 raye is the featured vocalist. if you want to show off you can name the two dj/producers who collaborated on it
