The Great White North, a Timeline crossover.

Each of the songs below was performed by a Canadian recording artist and reached the top of one of the Billboard charts.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 2 points for the year the song hit #1 (see the Timeline Well, below)...

(Note: for my sanity, please gives responses in this format: title - artist - year)

1. Don't come hangin' 'round my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you

American Woman, the Guess Who, 1970

2. Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves, and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on

You had a bad day - artist - 2006

3. The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black Velvet, Ronnie Raitt, 1978

4. See every dream
And give her wings
When she wants to fly
Then when you find
Yourself layin' helpless in her arms

title - artist - 1995

5. I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean

Heart of Gold - Neil Young - 1972

6. When I was young my heart was young then, too
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

Snowbird, Anne Murray, 1969

7. She goes downtown
The boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown
She walks like she just don't care, yeah

title - artist - 1974

8. Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan

title - artist - 1989

9. He lay face down in the desert sand
Clutching his six-gun in his hand
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
But a spark still burned
So I used my knife
And late that night
I saved the life
of Ringo.

Ringo - Lorne Greene - 1964

10. Touching you so warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

title - artist - 1990

11. 'Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

I'm Your Lady - artist - 1994

12. I never needed love
Like I need you
And I never lived for nobody
But I live for you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel

title - artist - 1998

Really more Alaska than Canada, but I was fascinated by the history of this place:
