Lyrically Speaking Special - Secret Agent Man

[A Non E. Muss]

*43. I Saw Her Standing There/The Beatles
*44. Miss You Much/Janet Jackson

MISUNDERSTANDING

Not sure which clue this fits.

"Misunderstanding" by Genesis goes with this clue:

1. 1980 song by a band that recently became a trio

[franktangredi]

Oops, I overlooked this post before. Sorry.

I can help...

The answer is “Leaving on a Jet Plane” because “Leaving Las Vegas” is right above (on) “Jet.”

The answer is “Uptown Squirrel” because “My Squirrel” is right above (up) “Town Without Pity.”

The answer is Carrie Underwood because “Carrie Ann” is right below (under) “Knock on Wood.”

[A Non E. Muss]

24. This band was once rated by Rolling Stone as the 19th "Greatest Artist of All Time" despite never charting a single song during its initial 10 year run
GRATEFUL DEAD? TALKING HEADS?

Nope! It's:

7. Higher Ground/Stevie Wonder
8. Black Velvet/Alannah Miles

VELVET UNDERGROUND

*43. I Saw Her Standing There/The Beatles
*44. Miss You Much/Janet Jackson

MISUNDERSTANDING

Not sure which clue this fits.

"Misunderstanding" by Genesis goes with this clue:

1. 1980 song by a band that recently became a trio

Ah, I misread the clue. I took "recent" as relating to now, not 1980.

"Misunderstanding" by Genesis goes with this clue:

Ah, I misread the clue. I took "recent" as relating to now, not 1980.

I should have added "had" before recently in that clue I guess...

One more thing I'd like to note, just in case it wasn't clear in the instructions, is that some of the songs are used for more than one of the clues. So while it's good to mark off the songs that have been used already to know what still needs to be used, don't disregard the starred songs entirely...

4. 1988 #1 hit by a UK band who never charted in their home country
WILD WILD WEST/ESCAPE CLUB?
*17. Wild Wild Life/Talking Heads
**18. Leaving Las Vegas/Sheryl Crow

Since there will be no way to resolve this on its own, I may as well let you know that this isn't quite right. There is another trick to this game that several of the clues use I don't think has been exploited yet...

CANNED HEAT

51. This #8 70's hit was released a year after it would have been fitting

could this be Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart?

[littlebeast13]

3. 1992 solo hit by the lead singer of an 80's duo

WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS-ANNIE LENNOX
74. Walking on Sunshine/Katrina and the Waves

I was really hoping you'd solve one of these given your reputation with my themed game sin the LSWE. Kudos on getting one of my better ones!

lb13

[T_Bone0806]

Right now, I can think of some possibilities for a few of the others as answers to the clues, but nothing in the song list to match up and come up with the definitive solution to the clue. As evidenced by my average performance on LS theme games, I often have trouble putting 2 and 2 together...

[franktangredi]

36. This song reached #2 in 1964 and 1999

This is LAST KISS. 1964 by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, 1999 by Pearl Jam.

And the LAST song on the list is by KISS.

could this be Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart?

I'm pretty sure, then, that this would go with 1999.

[franktangredi]

16. The second most popular rock band to form at The University of Illinois

74. Walking on Sunshine/Katrina and the Waves
75. You May Be Right/Billy Joel

Probably Lynyrd Skynyrd

[franktangredi]

76. Dancing Queen/Abba
77. Flowers On The Wall/Statler Brothers or Eric Heatherly

WESTERN UNION/THE FIVE AMERICANS

Assuming that UNION OF THE SNAKE is connected with #47, we have this:
