2. Andrew Lloyd Webber composed the music for “Whistle Down the Wind,” which Tina Arena performed. The song features lyrics by Jim Steinman.
3. “Fight for Ourselves” by Spandau Ballet used chroma key effects for its visual sequences. The video includes a storyline with invisibility powers.
4. “Running Around Town” by Billie Ray Martin explores the theme of searching and emotional restlessness. The lyrics reflect a sense of longing and introspection.

6. Fergie’s “You Already Know” samples “It Takes Two” by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, itself sampling Lyn Collins’ track “Think (About It).” The 70s influence is evident.

11. “I Don’t Want Control of You” is classified as jangle pop, featuring Teenage Fanclub’s signature sound. The genre is characterized by its melodic clarity.
