just fooling around, but see if you can identify them right off!

if you can identify 7 or more , you are definitely hooked on B&D!

Nice distraction - the ones I know are mostly in a cluster.

2."when there's so much love in my heart, tell me why we had to part..."

Well, I am doing this right off the top of my head, with no checking of sources. And I come up short, Steve - can get 6 I'm sure of, not 7. here goes:
1. If I Could Go Back (Lost Horizon)
2. ?
3. ?
4. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
5. Wishin' and Hopin'
6. Make It Easy on Yourself
7. I'm a Better Man
8. A Young Pretty Girl Like You (Promises, Promises)
9. ?

Daddy Dom-wrong on no. 2...I love the way you phonetically spelled out Make it East On Yourself! lol no's 4,5 and 6 are correct.

Vince- sorry old chap, no. 10 is wrong

Steve S.-The ones you guessed at are correct...

Hi Steveo,
Of the four missing one's..
3..Walk The Way You Talk.
9..Send My Picture To Scranton PA.
Don't know if they're right or not ???

Number 2 and 10...I'm still working on...........does anyone know ???
Hey, great quiz by the way !!!!

"blue"

Hey Blue!
You are correct! Bravo!
I think number 2 and 10 are giving folks some problems..no. 10 is not very well known, but was my ex gf's favorite song....

Steveo
ok, here are a couple of extra lines to 2 and 10

2."but time waits for no one....when there's so much love in my heart...
tell me why we had to part..."

10. "it is written in the stars...this enchanted love of ours...will burn bright...day and night...(french horn solo now, ala buddy baker -disney- "doo doo doo doooooooo)"

2. Long Day, Short Night
10. Forever, My Love

The funny thing is that I knew these two right off the bat...I couldn't for the life of me get #1 and #7, although #7 was right on the tip of my tongue. (#1 I would never have gotten as I don't care for most of the 'Lost Horizon' score, so I rarely listen to any of the tracks.) It's interesting which songs resonate with each of us individually.

10. Forever My Love ???

"blue"

You are amazing! yup, correct...you are also right about what songs resonate with us....Im big on Lost Horizon, so those songs ring a bell with me.
