And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors is renowned for its storyline of two suitors vying for the attention of a woman. Its catchy chorus and engaging narrative propelled it to chart success.
2. Vasco Rossi's "Gli spari sopra" is an Italian cover of An Emotional Fish's "Celebrate." Despite the language change, the cover retains a similar musical spirit.
3. The Crowded House track featuring Neil Finn was part of the compilation album "Recurring Dream: The Very Best of Crowded House." The album also includes classic hits and three new tracks.
4. Teenage Fanclub's song "Radio" appears on their album "Thirteen." This album continued their blend of melodic rock and pop harmonies.
5. The song "I Quit" by Hepburn is featured on the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series soundtrack, contributing to the show's alternative rock atmosphere.
6. "Heartbeat [Tainai Kaiki II]" explores themes of life, birth, and the maternal bond, with its ambient textures creating a sense of spiritual depth.
7. Primal Scream's track from “Screamadelica” involved collaboration with The Orb, enriching its sound with ambient influences.
8. Pizzaman's 1995 track features a sample from a 1974 sermon by Jack van Impe, adding a distinctive vocal element to the house music backdrop.
9. The Bernard Butler track's music video was directed by David Mould, offering visual accompaniment that supports the song's themes.
10. Travis’s “All I Want to Do Is Rock” was inspired by Fran Healy's situation with a busy ex-girlfriend. The song captures the frustration and longing of that experience.
11. Jimmy Page composed part of the chord progression for “Take Me for a Little While” at Lake Tahoe. This serene setting likely influenced its creative process.
12. Stiltskin's "Inside" gained prominence through its use in a Levi's 501 jeans advertisement. The campaign helped the track reach widespread recognition.
