And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Crowded House’s song prominently features “fingers of love” imagery, creating a recurring motif. The album “Together Alone” saw it included as the fourth single.
2. “I’ll See You in My Dreams” by Giant reached the 20th spot on the Billboard Hot 100, marking their sole Top 40 hit.
3. Kirsty MacColl, known for her distinctive voice, provided a harmonious “Elysian chorus” on the Moyet album, elevating the soundscape.
4. Brian Rawling and Mark Taylor were the duo behind the production of “Now That You’ve Gone,” adding their signature touch to the track.
5. The Mike Flowers Pops uniquely paired “Light My Fire” with “Please Release Me” as a double A-side, hitting the UK charts.
6. Ooberman’s “Blossoms Falling” was notable for reaching number 39 on the UK Singles Chart, catching early media eyes.
7. Television appearances, including interviews, were pivotal in promoting Julia Fordham’s lead single and its accompanying video.
8. Neil Finn’s music video incorporated footage from “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” and “The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock” for a creative visual.
9. Benz’s “Miss Parker” is characterized by a UK street-soul style with a romantic, teenage infatuation storyline, typical of the era.
10. Steve Winwood’s opener from “Junction Seven” was a collaborative effort with Narada Michael Walden and Jim Capaldi.
11. Spin Doctors’ song was released under Epic Records, part of their 1996 album “You’ve Got to Believe in Something.”
12. “The Blue Melons – Do Wah Diddy Diddy” lacks mention in established music databases or discographies, making its validity dubious.
