	Remove the last names acceptable feature as this permits you to get songs by just the last word of the title.

	rhughey:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 03:30 GMT		2 points
	Ok, I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.

	nhrafan:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 04:43 GMT		2 points
	However, please make last names acceptable where applicable. On quizzes like this, checking the box isn't good because "Halen" definitely shouldn't be accepted for "Van Halen," but "Joplin" for "Janis Joplin" should work fine.

	Last names only are now acceptable only for people's names.

	"Nothing Compares To You" is actually called Nothing Compares 2 U, at least have that as an acceptable answer, also, Eurhythmics is spelt wrong.

	leviper:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 14:45 GMT		2 points
	It is Nothing Compares 2 U but Eurythmics is spelled correctly. Also the song is Don't You (Forget About Me) so accept Don't You only.

	rhughey:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 16:51 GMT		1 point
	Nothing Compares 2 U and Don't You are now correct.

	Mad World cover is by Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules, so please accept Michael Andrews also

	Marvin Gaye did the original recording of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," although the Gladys Knight version charted first, I believe.

	rhughey:	Jun 11th, 2011 at 04:31 GMT		0 points
	I don't know how I forgot Andrews but was mistaken about "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". Michael Andrews is now acceptable and shows up in the answer and I changed the description to make the first artist to realease the song the proper answer.

	Is it just me or was "the" accepted for Don't You (Forget About Me)? Might want to check that... o_O

	smithc12:	Jul 3rd, 2011 at 01:15 GMT		0 points
	The original artist for I heard it through the grapevine is actually Smokey Robinson and the miracles as he first recorded it. It was first a hit for Gladys Knight and the Pips and is most famously done by marvin gaye, Therefore either accept only smokey robinson as the asnwer or also except Marvin Gaye, if you choose to leave Gladys Kinight as a possibility as smokey robinson's verison is not popular...

	Smithc12, The quiz says to name the artist who first released the song, not who recorded first. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' version wasn't released initially because the recording wasn't up to the record label's expectations. There can be only one "first release", so Gladys Night is the only acceptable answer because it satisfies the description. "the" no longer reveals Don't You (Forget About Me).

	If all goes well, I will never have to hear those Sheryl Crow and Dolly Parton covers ever again in my life.

	GlassMoon:	Aug 19th, 2011 at 20:14 GMT		3 points
	WTF? Why did that guy cover Don't You? That's AWFUL. I never ever want to hear that again.
