Daniel got the first round, so let's have the second round now.  To give everyone a chance, the winner of the last round should avoid guessing in this  one, but gets back into the competion for the round after this.

This next one should be a lot easier, and perhaps so easy that I am only going to give you a few notes.  If nobody guesses, I'll throw in a few more.  This is a cover version.  I am looking for the name of the song and the artist that made it popular.

Bonus Hint: The artist formerly known as [] looks in one direction several times each day.

Congrats, Daniel, that was a hard one.

"Moonshadow" by (formerly) Cat Stevens--now Yusuf Islam, who presumably looks towards Mecca for prayers.

Tico Tico is a FABULOUS song!  Just the kind of song that Ricky would spin Lucy too fast around on the dance floor as her headdress falls wildly askew.  (In fact maybe that's where I know the song from?)

Phillip, this has potential to be hugely popular game.  I also love "Name That Tune."

I knew both songs, I just couldn't name them.   I like them both.  Will there be more?

Yes.  I just didn't expect someone would have the answer in five minutes.  First one was on the hard side, second one was way too easy I guess.  :)

Pretty sure that's Portuguese, so wouldn't have been a Ricky/Lucy delight.  :)  Thanks for posting that, Daniel, it's great!

Daniel, I really did  have that costume:  I went as Carmen Miranda to a Mardi Gras party a few years ago.  Whaddya know, there was another  Carmen Miranda at the same party.  I pulled the fruit off that bitch's head, you bet. :)
