Mo's Radio Quiz

Ten lyrics, all from songs with "Radio" in the title. Some easy, some really pretty obscure, one a bit of a cheat -- all they have in common is that they nestle snugly on my CD shelf somewhere.

It might be too difficult to ask you to say the artist and song title, so I've put below the ten artists in a different order. One point for identifying the correct artist, one point for knowing the song title. A bonus point if you knew it without looking at the list of artists!

[Poll #767676]

And the artists:

Buggles
The Clash
The Corrs
Elvis Costello
Kraftwerk
Queen
REM
Donna Summer
Wall of Voodoo
Young Marble Giants

Oh come on, no excuse for running out ! Even I can think of one you haven't used:

Where are the queers on the piers? / Heard they gave it their best.

That is not something that is ever likely to darken my music collection... likewise there's a Robbie Williams song which I couldn't use.

That surprises me - in my opinion their debut album was leagues ahead of humdrum stuff like The Corrs.

Ah well, each to their own.

gah! -- forgot that too, and it's one of my favourite songs. Next time, not such a rush.
