I could do with you guy's help!!

[Lori]

I'm planning on winning a DVD player from our local radio station, hehe.

I've got till Wednesday to get a list of 26 songs and their artists in by e-mail and I only need 4.

One is just music which I can't explain.


One is a black guy singing (I think) and the lyrics I could pick out seemed to be:

"if you dance to the music,
don't you know you've gotta play to the piper,
ask your mamma
if you dance to the music
don't you know you gotta play to the piper

i spent my money on you every day
you even told me you had a good time
....
you said it's time that you went home
....
now come on girl be nice to me
if you dance to the music don't you know you gotta play to the piper ask your mamma if you dance to the music don't you know you gotta play to the piper"

Or something like that. The ....'s are where I can't make it out at all.


Then there's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". I was sure it was Gareth Gates singing, but as the song went on it sounds like a woman (close to Gareth though, hehe)


Finally, there's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and a woman is singing it with a really squeaky voice. If you've ever seen Matilda (the movie) it sounds like the mother from it (Rhea Perlman).

Hope you's can help... I'd be sooooo grateful. Thanks Guys!!!

Then there's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". I was sure it was Gareth Gates singing, but as the song went on it sounds like a woman (close to Gareth though, hehe) This one could be Christina Aguilera. She covered it, but without hearing it...

Finally, there's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and a woman is singing it with a really squeaky voice. If you've ever seen Matilda (the movie) it sounds like the mother from it (Rhea Perlman). Also without hearing it, it could be several artists. however, The Jackson 5 had the most airplay with their version (a young Michael Jackson on vocals, would sound like a girl )

Hope you's can help... I'd be sooooo grateful. Thanks Guys!!!

My guesses are in yellow, for whatever they're worth.

[Sven Golly]

The exact title is "Pay to the Piper"

[Lori]

Thanks guys! That's another one down. Apart from the music only one which I can't explain, I just need two... "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". These two are sooooo difficult.

[Al Truest]

So, they're not by Christina and The Jackson 5 for sure?

[Lori]

Definitely. I've been downloading parts of them to compare and they're both far different. Thanks though. Any other suggestions?

BTW, one of them was Kate Bush - December Will Be Magic Again... needless to say that that was the easiest one for me, hehe ;D

[Lori]

Ok so I've got Santa Claus is coming to town now. It say The Supremes but it also says Diana Ross... was she part of the Supremes or something?

Just need 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'. Fingers crossed.

Diana Ross was the lead singer in The Supremes, Lori, before she went solo.
