Herman Brood en Hennie Vrienten - 50 jaar (1996)


Sinds 1 dag of 2 (32 jaar) is een Nederlandstalig skalied van Doe Maar uit 1981. Het is de eerste single van deze band die in de hitlijsten terechtkwam, nadat Ik zou het willen doen een jaar eerder nog flopte.
Aanvankelijk was het de bedoeling dat de single Sinds 1 dag of 2 zou heten. Op aanraden van dj Frits Spits, die de plaat veel draaide in het NOS radioprogramma De Avondspits op Hilversum 3, werd deze echter veranderd in 32 jaar.
In 1996 zongen Herman Brood en Henny Vrienten het nummer waarin het werd aangepast naar 50 jaar, de leeftijd die Brood dat jaar behaalde. Ook deze versie belandde opnieuw in de hitlijsten.

Pearl Jam - Spin the Black Circle (1994)


"Spin the Black Circle" is a song by American rock band Pearl Jam, released on November 8, 1994, as the first single from the band's third studio album, Vitalogy (1994). Although credited to all members of Pearl Jam, it features lyrics written by vocalist Eddie Vedder and music primarily written by guitarist Stone Gossard. The song peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.

According to Vedder, "Spin the Black Circle" is about his and the band's love for vinyl records. 
At the band's July 1, 2003, show in Bristow, Virginia at the Nissan Pavilion, Vedder proclaimed "This song is about old records, old records, anyone remember old records?" 
The lyrics play on the similarities between drug addiction and addiction to records and music, as many of the lyrics may be interpreted either way. 
It is unclear to what extent this is intended to be a serious comparison of different types of addiction and to what extent it is just intended to make the lyrics interesting. Jon Pareles of The New York Times referred to "Spin the Black Circle" as "one of the few songs from Seattle in which a needle has nothing to do with heroin."

Commenting this song, Paul McCartney stated that the line “Biker like an icon” came from a conversation about photo cameras with his wife Linda McCartney.

George Michael - Freedom 90 (1990)


"Freedom! '90" (also known simply as "Freedom!") is a song written, produced, and performed by English singer-songwriter George Michael, and released by Columbia Records in October 1990. The "'90" added to the end of the title is to prevent confusion with a hit by Michael's former band Wham!, also entitled "Freedom". 
The song's backing beat is a sample from James Brown's song "Funky Drummer".
It was the third single taken from Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 (1990), though released as the second single from the album in the US and Australia. "Freedom! '90" was one of a few uptempo songs on this album. 
It was a major hit and peaked at No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100. 
The song refers to Michael's past success with Wham!, yet also shows a new side of himself as a new man, who is more cynical about the music business than he had been before

Queen - Scandal (1989)


"Scandal" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was released as the fourth single from their 1989 album The Miracle and peaked at #25 in the UK. The single was released in the United States but failed to chart. 
"Scandal", written by Brian May, but credited to Queen, is about the unwanted attention May and lead singer Freddie Mercury received from the press in the late 1980s, involving May's divorce from his first wife, Chrissie Mullen, and his relationship with actress Anita Dobson and growing media speculation about Mercury's health. 
Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in April 1987; he did not reveal his condition until the day before his death in November 1991. However, changes in his appearance, particularly his weight loss and rather gaunt look, helped fuel speculation that he was seriously ill.
May recorded the keyboards and guitars in one take. Mercury's vocal was also done in one take.

Boy Meets Girl - Waiting For A Star To Fall (1988)


American pop music duo consisting of keyboardist and vocalist George Merrill and singer Shannon Rubicam. 
They are perhaps best known for their hit song "Waiting For a Star to Fall" from 1988. As songwriters, the duo composed a pair of #1 hits for Whitney Houston, "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)". 
They wrote the song after witnessing a falling star at a Whitney Houston concert and originally offered the song to Houston, but Arista Records CEO Clive Davis rejected it. 
American singer Belinda Carlisle then recorded a demo of the song but refused its inclusion on her 1987 album Heaven on Earth, so Rubicam and Merrill decided to record and release the song themselves.
"Waiting for a Star to Fall" was released in June 1988 as the second single from Boy Meets Girl's second studio album, Reel Life (1988). 
The song became a chart hit in several countries, reaching number five on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The tenor saxophone solo on the Boy Meets Girl version was provided in a session recording early in the career of Andy Snitzer, who later found success as a solo artist.

Suzi Quatro - Daytona Demon (1973)


"Daytona Demon" is the fourth solo single and third UK hit by Suzi Quatro, released in 1973. The song is frequently believed to be a revision of Freddy Cannon's "Tallahassee Lassie" and a reference to Daytona Beach in Florida in which Quatro's lover is equated with a fast car.

"Daytona Demon" was never included on the US or other foreign release of her second album Quatro and remained unavailable in any format in the US until the advent of the CD and numerous compilations in the 1990s. "Daytona Demon" has been a staple of Quatro's numerous hits compilation albums since then. On the 2011 expanded issue of Suzi Quatro, “Daytona Demon” and its B-side "Roman Fingers" were included as bonus tracks.

Hildegard Knef, Enrico Macias, Alice Babs, Sandra & Andres, Demis Roussos, Vicky Leandros - Auntie (1972)


Auntie was een gelegenheidssingle van diverse artiesten. Het was een felicitatie van muziekproducent en componist Hans van Hemert aan de BBC, wiens bijnaam Auntie is. 
Die bestond in 1972 vijftig jaar. Of de felicitatie de BBC ooit heeft bereikt is onbekend, alhoewel er een videoclip is gemaakt. Deelnemende artiesten, waaronder een aantal Eurovisiesongfestivalgangers, waren:

De B-kant liet een instrumentale versie horen. Harry van Hoof verzorgde het arrangement en gaf leiding aan het orkest. De single kreeg nog een staartje. Van Hemert werd van plagiaat beschuldigd. 
De begintonen van Those were the days, ooit gezongen door Mary Hopkin, zouden verstopt zitten in het liedje.
