What do these 2 songs have in common?

The first one to guess the correct answer that I am looking for, will get $5

Here they are:


And here's the other one.


I'll tell you right now...it's a very tough one.

    That is a toughie.

    Besides the obvious that they are both sung by males and have piano music, the only similarity I see is they both have the word "heaven".

      Okay Kim, we'll make it 2 winners. Send me your PayPal address too.

      And technically, you said that OR won a grammy for both. It wasn't a
      definitive answer on either.

      Hey, if I'm gonna give my hard earned blood money away I want the answer
      that I want.

      Next question's gonna be one you won't be able to find through Google.

      My take on this little experiment is that just about anything can be learned with a little research.

      So research I did, just as I research anything I use for article promotion.

      So if Google and counterparts will not do on next question I am looking forward to a challenge (I hope!!)

        yeah, I realized that there's just no such thing as hard questions anymore
        with Google indexing the whole world.

        Back in the pre Internet days, I doubt anybody would have known this. I
        did because I'm in the music business.

        But that's why I only made it $5. I suspected this stuff was somewhere, and
        sure enough after I posted the question, I did a few searches using:

        drops of jupiter + Burn down the mission and sure enough, there was
        Paul Buckmaster.

        Shame that trivia is really dead these days.

        Anyway, there won't be any further of these until I can find something
        so obscure that there is no way it's on Google. But then it's doubtful
        anybody will get it anyway, so what's the point?

        Oh well, payment to one member has been send. Still waiting for Kim's
        PayPal email even though he cheated LOL

    If it's any consolation I've never heard of that Buckmaster guy and I didn't use google and I don't even like those songs anyway. Now try playing in my guessing name I don't think you can use google to guess correctly!!!!!!

    I find Google absolutely amazing - I have even just had a partial sentence of a lyric to a song that is almost as old as I am, and Google has come up with the song, all the groups that ever covered it, etc.

    I don't think I have ever not found what I was looking for...

    Be hard to come up with a question no one can look up, therefore.

    Congrats to the winner(s)!

    Actually Steven, a few months ago when you and I were playing the trivia game, I refused to look anything up with Google or any other search engine.
    I wanted us to rely strictly on our own knowlwdge and I think we were doing pretty good there for a while.

      True, but you know when you throw money into the mix, all bets are off.

      Hey, I probably would have tried to find the answer too if I didn't know it,
      but I would have felt too guilty to claim the prize so ultimately I either would
      have not publicly posted the answer or did so and admitted I had looked it
      up and let the OP decide whether or not to pay me.

      Google has definitely sucked the life out of a lot of trivia fun.

        Well now Steven that last post seemed a bit testy to me. When the question was posted I did not see any rules regarding research. I believe my PM to you indicated I thought this was a good exercise in research.

        Nope.....I do not feel guilty about researching answer. I have always enjoyed trivia and was great at Trivia Pursuit. However I do not know most things about everything. Now that I know the rules I will not play unless the luffa sponge I use for grey matter contains the answer.

          Gordon, please don't take what I said personally. When I used to play
          Trivial Pursuit (remember that great game?) you either knew the answer or
          you didn't. There was no place to look anything up.

          I'm just from the old school, that's all. But hey, everybody has to play
          by their rules and since I didn't stipulate any (like I could tell if somebody
          looked up the answer) then all is fair and I have no problem with that.

          I was just hoping the contest would go on a little longer but it was like,
          10 minutes and it was done.

          That's why I said Google has sucked the fun out of trivia.

            No offense taken...that is why I suggested you keep the $$$ and see how big the pot could grow through further questions.
