Yesterday when FameThrowa and her new friend Mr. Click arrived at our place, Sir Monkeypants and I were in the middle of a deep conversation about music trivia. I’m sure Mr. Click now thinks we are the geekiest of the geeks, like, who meets someone for the first time by asking them trivia?

Anyway, we were talking about the year 1984, when three different pop songs by three different artists, but with the exact same name, hit the Billboard Top 40. Can you name the title, and the three acts?

This event — having totally different songs, but with the same title, hit the charts in the same year — only happened one other time. The year was 1971. Can you name that title and acts?

Sir Monkeypants got the 1984 reference but the 1971 grouping was a little before his time.

In 1984, the three songs in question were all called “The Power Of Love.” One by Frankie Goes To Hollywood (the best of the group, in my opinion), one by Huey Lewis and the News (from the movie Back to the Future), and one by Jennifer Rush (a recording of the song she originally wrote for Air Supply).

In 1971, the three songs were called “Superstar.” One by The Carpenters (the best known version, although the song has been recorded by many other artists, some even that year, and was not written by them), one by the cast of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar (the main theme song, sung mainly by Judas), and one a disco tune by Murray Head.
