Dear Dave,

I’m afraid I won’t be as knowledgeable as I’ve proven myself to be through your
previous quizzes

Let’s begin with basic facts: I have no idea what 3, 4, 6 8, 9 and 10 are
about. Be it originals or covers. No clue whatsoever. I’m afraid I won’t be
able to claim the “surprise worthless gift”, even though, if memory serves me
well, you still owe me a lait-fraise:)

However, I might have figured out some of the originals, even if I remain
totally ignorant of the covers, and I can’t be bothered to check
through I don’t want to cheat through Google:

1)I was made for loving you - Kiss
2)je t’aime (moi non plus) - Gainsbourg
5) Kraftwerk (Can’t remember the title
7 - Les feuilles mortes - Yves Montand

Yep… 3,5 out of 10… More like 7 out of 20, if I understood the
original/cover pairs we had to find out… Not very proud of myself, here

Did you consider offering any consolation prize ?

Bise,

Well this one is gonna drive me crazy for a week. I got 4 original song titles and artists but no idea who’s covering them, another 2 are on the tip of my tongue - pretty sure I know the original artists but can’t remember which songs they are, and the other 4 - well, fuck me. I have NO IDEA who did ‘em! But I will keep listening, I’m sure they’ll start to register with every new listen. This is fun.
