And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Keith Thomas flexed his musical muscles on the piano in "The Sweetest Days". His multitasking skills included programming, leaving the strumming and drumming to others.
2. The Spanish interpretation of Backstreet Boys' "Anywhere for You" is titled "Donde Quieras Yo Iré". It extends their reach to the Spanish-speaking world.
3. The origin of Billie Myers' "Kiss the Rain" lies in a lyrical misfire of Bush's "Glycerine". Desmond Child's mishearing spawned a whole new raindrop-laden creation.
4. After a rocky start, "Promise Me" found its footing among fans once Beverley Craven took it on a UK tour. Television exposure often works wonders for visibility.
5. "Constant Craving" coined by k.d. lang began as "Easter Passover". An interesting fusion hinting at the song's thematic pull about life’s enduring mysteries.
6. Wet Wet Wet sang "If I Never See You Again" on their tenth studio album, aptly named *10*. Harmonious goodbyes echo throughout their work.
7. The haunting harmonies of "How Deep Is Your Love" were first crafted by the Bee Gees before Take That offered their rendition, adding a 90s twist.
8. Daryl Hall found his solo voice on "I'm in a Philly Mood" on the album *Soul Alone*. Philly beyond cheesesteaks, more into serenades.
9. Toni Braxton, grasping a Grammy, excelled in Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for her bluesy lament, "Another Sad Love Song". Tears turned to trophies.
10. The British Labour Party lifted spirits with Lighthouse Family's "Lifted" during their 2001 campaign. An appropriate anthem for political aspirations.
11. Originally, Tina Turner declined Taylor Dayne's "I'll Be Your Shelter". Dayne didn’t mind catching that shelter for herself, and the song found its vocalist.
12. Bucks Fizz fizzled to fame by seizing victory in Eurovision with "Making Your Mind Up" in 1981. Pop glory ensued amongst sequined outfits and synchronized dance moves.
