And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Timmy T’s “One More Try” was uniquely produced in a garage for about 0. He used a Moog synthesizer and a Roland TR-808 drum machine, both acquired from a pawn shop.
2. Diane Warren, along with Bryan Adams, wrote Joe Cocker’s “Feels Like Forever.” Their collaboration highlighted Cocker’s interpretative skills in the song featured on “Night Calls.”
3. Misty Oldland’s “A Fair Affair (Je T’Aime)” samples Serge Gainsbourg’s iconic track “Je t’aime… moi non plus.” This touch added a French flair to Oldland’s song.
4. Shawn Colvin wrote “Get Out of This House” out of frustration at not being able to work in her new home’s writing room. Her sentiment laid the foundation for the song’s lyrics.
5. Gary Moore collaborated with Albert King on “Oh Pretty Woman.” This brought two generations of blues guitarists together, bridging distinct blues styles.
6. “(When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing” by Sparks nods to jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. Known for their eclectic style, Sparks highlighted Parker’s bebop influence.
7. Cud’s “Magic” marked its early presence on the UK Singles Chart in 1991. A modest success, it was one of the band’s initial charting tracks in their career.
8. Status Quo’s “The Way It Goes” signified a return to a guitar-driven rock sound. This track was notable for being the first self-penned lead single since 1986.
9. The Icicle Works’ “Motorcycle Rider” released during a period of member transition. Ian McNabb carried the band name onward with new musicians.
10. 3 Colours Red’s “Sixty Mile Smile” stirred controversy with its drug-related lyrics. Meant as a warning, it fueled discussions against drug use and its consequences.
11. The Mutton Birds’ “Come Around” reached number 35 in New Zealand. It highlighted the band’s rock style, achieving this chart position in their homeland.
