A quick look suggests...
CGYOOMHH - Kylie Minogue (Can't Get You Out of My Head hitmaker)
ZH - Fat Larry's Band(?) (Zoom hitmakers)
well done
That's two of 'em
I've got another
SISOSIGH - The Clash (Should I Stay or Should I Go? hitmakers)
correctamundo
!
Quick skim
Bryan Adams - Everything I Do I Do It For You
The Who - I Can See For Miles
Showaddywaddy (or was it Mud, or Darts?) - Under The Moon Of Love
???? whoever it was who did What Do Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?
Travis Why Does It Always Rain On Me?
Good quiz
yup
It was Showaddywaddy.
Bryan Adams
(Everything I Do, I Do It For You hitmaker)
and The Who (I Can see For Miles hitmakers)
oops, too late!
WDYWTMTEAMFH
= What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For? hitmaker(s). I can remember Shakin Stevens doing it, needed Wikipedia to find Emile Ford and the Checkmates.
Yes
Word message board faves, Emile Fird
Interestingly...
(well, to me, anyway) I think that this is the only time successive number 1s have had the same 4 words at the start of the title - Adam Faith hit the top with What Do You Want, but I can't remember if this was before or after Emile & the boys (I suspect it was after - 1959/60, perhaps?). I suppose I could look it up.....
DDIOH
Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
yes
The House
U2
Where the streets have no name hitmakers
ian dury and the blockheads
hit me with your rythm stick hitmakers.
WTSHNNH
Where the streets have no name hitmakers - U2
Well done everyone
But by my calculations this leaves:
BIYSH
Anyone?
They Might Be Giants
Birdhouse In Your Soul hitmakers.
***DINGDINGDING***
Congratulations!
Anybody want to put together another list...
Try these:
AH
BH
CH
DH
EH
FH
GH
OK...
AH: Adam & The Ants
BH: Michael Jackson
CH: Joni Mitchell
DH: The Kinks or Kirsty MaColl
EH: The Commodores
FH: Crazy World of Arthur Brown
GH: Spandau Ballet
Anyone care to name the songs?
Actually,
only two of those were the ones I was thinking of (D & E), but your suggestions work just as well as mine. And maybe that's the point...
Antmusic, Bad,
Carey, Days, Easy, Fire, Gold
Dubious as to whether Carey can be counted as a 'hit' though. I initially thought 'Clouds' but this was an album
Point Taken.
It could also have been "California", mind you!
Surely ZH...
...was Neil Young? Eh? Zuma wasn't a hit? Sorry, I'll shuffle along....good quiz, though!
Now we just need to memorise all these
...and scatter them liberally through other posts to completely confuse occasionaly visitors. We'd need a whole new FAQ section.
Here's a few early 90's specials:
SDH
PLH
CPH
TOOH
LH
MEH
Hmm
PLH- blur
CPH - Pulp
Yes and
Yes
SDH - James
Or the Fannies
Sparky's Dream
Is CP Pulp?
Yessity
yes
MEH
Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness
As opposed to
IYTTTYCWBNHM
Update:
TOOH should read TOOIKH
Sure that clears everything up.
Northwich's Finest
The Charlatans
Yes to all of the above
Clue: LH might have been known as ILMTIEHH if it hadn't been remixed into something quite quite different (though the term 'hitmakers' might not have been so appropriate)
The Scream
That would be Primal Scream so... Loaded from the original that was something like I'm Losing More Than I Ever Had? (Too lazy to Google).
