Homework Assignment: Songs You Likely Never Heard

 Taking a break from politics and all the crap that is modern life.  Here are some songs that i was kind of "feeling" today that most of you probably never heard of (though some were singles).  i could give you hypertext links, but that would be too easy. i think you can find most of these on YouTube.

In the old days, i used to spend hours a day singing along with CDs/records tapes.  Sadly, i cannot do that anymore (and i lost a bunch of range).  There are a lot of worthy songs i can't think of now.

Now for the list of infamy plus one bonus. 

* Bonus - for all the evil out there (even Winter, Ladycat types): "Happy, Happy Birthday to You" - Mickey Mouse Splashdance (1983)

In no particular order, other than the order i thought of them:

  • "Last to Know" - Johnny Hates Jazz (also "Turn Back the Clock")
  • "Cry" - Waterfront
  • "Someday" - Glass Tiger
  • "Waiting for Love" - Alias
  • "I've Been in Love Before" - Cutting Crew
  • "She's In Love" - Mark Wills
  • "Tough Times Don't Last" - Bad English
  • "You're Only Human (Second Wind)" - Billy Joel
  • "Loneliest Heart" - Boys Club
  • "Does She Love That Man" - Breathe (almost everything from them)
  • "Kissing a Fool" - George Michael
  • "Baby It's Tonight" - Jude Cole
  • "Love at First Sight" - Kylie Minogue (1980s version)
  • "Something About You" - Level 42 (also "Lessons in Love")
  • "Different Air" - Living in a Box
  • "I'll Know When It's Over" - Lou Gramm (also "Just Between You and Me", Foreigner singer)
  • "Razor Blade" - Luke Bryan
  • "Was It Nothing At All" - Michael Damian
  • "All I Need is a Miracle" - Mike + the Mechanics
  • "Welcome to the Real World" - Mr. Mister
  • "When You Loved Me" - Richard Marx
  • "This Must Be Heaven" - Rick Astley
  • "Credit Card Baby" - Wham! (not to confused with Wom UL)
  • "Love in the First Degree" - Bananarama  (not 3rd degree like some others)
  • "No One is to Blame" - Howard Jones
  • "Captain of Her Heart" - Double
  • "Perfect Way" - Scritti Politti 
  • "When Seconds Count" - Survivor
  • "I'll Be Over You" - Toto
  • "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" - Paul Young
  • "Heaven Help Me" - Deon Estus 
  • "Hate My Life" - Theory of a Deadman
Another few bonus songs (i tried to limit it to one or two songs per group):
* "Rain" - Foreigner
*  "Foolish Heart" - Steve Perry 
* "Missing You" - John Waite
* Placeholder for the one i had in mind, but can't think of now
