How well do you know the music of
V Capri’s “Haunting Me” merges mid-’80s Australian new wave flair with emotive vocals and glossy production, peaking locally at No. 1 in Perth but struggling to make a broader impact. When in Rome’s “The Promise,” born out of low-budget ingenuity, became an ’80s pop staple with its melancholic keyboard lines and mid-chart success on both Billboard and dance charts, later revitalized through covers and film appearances like *Napoleon Dynamite*.
The Smiths’ “What Difference Does It Make?” delivers biting lyrics alongside Johnny Marr’s jangly guitar, marking an early standout in their catalog with its philosophical edge and chart presence. Meanwhile, Prefab Sprout’s “Johnny Johnny” hints at the band’s lyrical finesse but lacks the commercial staying power of their bigger hits. Fra Lippo Lippi balances melancholy and pop accessibility in “Shouldn’t Have to Be Like That,” showcasing an understated charm that resonated across parts of Europe.

How well do you know the music of
Garbage’s “Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go)” mixes quirky glam-pop with retro-futuristic vibes, featuring Steve Marker’s tuba through a wah-wah pedal and Daniel Shulman’s groovy bassline. Its playful energy earned solid global chart positions, peaking at No. 7 in Australia and No. 8 in Italy, thanks partly to a clever ad campaign. The eccentric Dawn Shadforth-directed video amplifies its quirky charm, nodding to pop-art and manga influences.
Meanwhile, Dirty Vegas’ “Days Go By” pairs wistful acoustic roots with polished house beats, gaining major traction through a Mitsubishi commercial and earning a Grammy in 2003. On the other end, Safri Duo’s percussion-heavy anthem “Played-A-Live (The Bongo Song)” electrified dance floors worldwide, selling 1.5 million copies. Standouts like Hi Tack’s “Say Say Say [Waiting 4 U]” reimagine classic hooks with modern house production flair, while Ice MC’s 1994 Eurodance hit “Think About the Way” wraps rapid raps and Alexia’s soaring vocals in iconic ’90s club energy.?
