Uncode the abbreviations

Post by Rudi »

Can you identify and un-code each abbreviation?

Tips:
They are all of this kind: songs - group - hint
They are all love songs


AAAA - AA = Correctly Answered!

1. UM - TRB - The tune is somehow restrained
2. TIPY - NSYNC - Can't go back on your word
3. AML - KC+JJ - All of my days
4. EIDIDIFY - BA
5. IWALY - WH - Nothing will change what I feel for you
6. WT - EC - A bad day has to turn good!
7. IDWMAT - A
8. A - L - Completely bedazzled by a single star
9. AL - EJ - Finally! St. James
10. TMD - SG - Venus fly traps can be brutal and nasty!

Good luck :grin:
