my brother posted this using opera on my computer - so he was accidentally logged in as me.

anyway, the answers were:

1. Paul Hardcastle - The Wizzard (Theme from Top of the Pops) (the dialog is at the very end)

2. Huey Lewis and the News, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Jennifer Rush.

3. 808 State

4. Neil Hannon / The Divine Comedy

Then surely the second question is wrong - it should be 1986 not '76.

Bateman

Yeah 1986, it kind of throws you when its out by 10 years, although it was obvious it was a mistake

Bard

no, it was 1976. The SUBJECT was wrong, as stated above.

Kolodny

But I can remember all those songs being in the charts and I wasn't alive for most of '76. You're just trying to confuse me aren't you?

FGTH - The Power of Love was not released in 1976

Lolo

Actually, I think it was '84 or '85, so it's totally wrong.

Of course it wasn't '76, you silly moo.
