12) "Lead Me On", a late-70s female artist but I can't recall the name just now
16) "Dream", again blanking on artist name
22) "I'm Not In Love", 10 CC

If last time you did breakup songs, are these "love gone sour" songs?

1. different drums - stone poneys (with linda rondstadt)
2. brandy - looking glass

#19, I used that very same quote myself in a Musical Monday just a few weeks ago, but now I can't remember the song! As I always say, these are often easier to compose than to solve.

3. lobo don't expect me to be your friend

Posted by: benjie at May 18, 2009 12:21 PM

19) This is the only one I recognize right away, I Can't Get Next to You, from a previous edition of Musical Monday.

Posted by: trn at May 18, 2009 1:27 PM

Elie's answer fit the theme generally, but Clayton got the more specific answer - unrequited love.

32. Everybody Plays the Fool- Smokey Robinson?

Posted by: Gail at May 20, 2009 11:17 AM

32. Everybody Plays the Fool- Smokey Robinson?

I think that's the right song, but for some reason I don't think it was by Smokey.

Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at May 20, 2009 12:56 PM

32. everybody plays the fool is by main ingredient

Posted by: benjie at May 20, 2009 1:55 PM

I hope it's OK if I add a couple of bonus tracks.

36) They said that she had found the love she'd waited for
37) Someday, somewhere, she will return

Posted by: Clayton at May 20, 2009 4:04 PM

31. It's a Heartache (the title might simply be "Heartache") - she has a deep, husky voice - I think it's the same artist that did Betty Davis Eyes...

Posted by: Gail at May 20, 2009 5:43 PM

Gail - I think that's Kim Carnes.

Posted by: Clayton at May 20, 2009 5:48 PM

Clayton - - you are right that Kim Carnes sang Betty Davis Eyes, but SD informs me that a different husky voiced singer did Heartache.

Posted by: Gail at May 20, 2009 6:13 PM
