The original painting was call "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh and was painted in 1889. The version that you may be referring to is called "Starry Night over the Rhone" and was painted in 1888.

The closest I could find was "I'm Yours" by Robert Mellin. A current version from 2004 is by Don Cornell. It was also covered by The Four Aces, Eddie Fisher, The Duprees,  and Toni Arden. It was in the top of the charts in 1952, but I can't find who might have remade it in the 1980's. I hope this helps.

Hey Now...\n\nYes Yes Yes\n\nHe wrote the Billboard number one single "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" (1983), sung by Bonnie Tyler,  he had written and produced a song for Air Supply, titled "Making Love out of Nothing at All". \n\n In 1984, Steinman created Fire Inc., which was a "fake band" with the sole purpose of singing his songs for the soundtrack of the film Streets of Fire. \nThe band featured Rory Dodd, Holly Sherwood and Laurie Sargent as lead vocals. Despite a minor chart entry with "Tonight is What It Means to Be Young", the Fire Inc. \nhave since been covered by several artists.\nIn the following years, Steinman continued to write songs for artists like The Sisters of Mercy. \n\nOthers, like Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow and Celine Dion, sang covers of earlier Steinman works. \nFor example, Streisand featured a cover of "Left in the Dark" from Bad for Good on her 1984 release Emotion (and also filmed her first-ever video to promote the song).\nManilow's version of "Read 'Em and Weep" topped the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart for six weeks earlier in 1984.\nDion's take on "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" was a U.S. #2 Pop and #1 AC hit in 1996.\n\nIn 1989, Steinman gathered a group of female singers and formed the one-album band Pandora's Box. \nBand members were Ellen Foley (who had already played Wendy in 1977's Neverland workshop production and sung with Meat Loaf on Bat Out of Hell), Holly Sherwood (formerly of Fire Inc.), Elaine Caswell, Gina Taylor and Steinman.\nThe album was released along with a video, directed by Ken Russell, for "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", but a planned tour was scrapped. The album was not released to the United States originally. Sales for the album were modest, though Steinman continues to be very proud of it. \nThe track "Original Sin" was recycled several times: it is featured prominently in the musical show Tanz der Vampire.\n\nIn 1994, singer Taylor Dayne covered a slightly reworked version of "Original Sin" on the soundtrack of the movie version of The Shadow\nThe album's final track "The Future Ain't What It Used to Be" was re-recorded for the MTV movie of Wuthering Heights starring Erika Christensen.\n\nHe wrote lyrics for Andrew Lloyd Webber's \nWhistle Down the Wind that went on stage in the US in 1996, and then revamped for a more successful London production in 1998. Many of the songs from Whistle Down the Wind were recorded by performers popular in Great Britain and released on a theme album in the U.K., produced by Jim Steinman. \nThe title track, performed by Tina Arena became a minor hit, but another number, \n"No Matter What," was recorded by pop group Boyzone, and became a huge international hit, later appearing on the soundtrack to the film Notting Hill.\n\nHe also wrote an German musical Tanz der Vampire (1998).\n\n\nSmiles

The only place I've heard it was on the Lion King!!! But I just did a google search, and it was actually on Monty Python! Here's some info on the song......\n\n"I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" is a well-known novelty song dating from the 1940s. It was composed in 1944 by Fred Heatherton, an English songwriter, and celebrates the traditional coconut shy of funfairs.\n\nThe song was first recorded by Danny Kaye, the actor/singer/comedian famous for such movies as White Christmas and The Court Jester. Kaye became aware of the song in a successful tour of the UK featuring sellout performances at the Palladium and appearances in Royal Command Performances. The song became Danny Kaye's only big US chart hit in 1950. It was also later recorded by Merv Griffin and several other artists. The song is still played over the public address system at Cambridge United football matches after home wins.\n\nThe song appeared on I Could Go On Singing, mainly memorable as Judy Garland's last film. It also appeared on the Magical Mystery Tour, Beatles TV special broadcast by the BBC on December 26, 1967.\n\n\n\nDown at an English fair, \nOne evening I was there, \nWhen I heard a showman shouting \nUnderneath the flare: \n\nHoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts. \nThere they are a-standin' in a row. \nBig ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead! \nGive 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist, \nThat's what the showman said. \n\nHoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts. \nHevery ball yer throw will make me rich. \nThere stands me wife, the idol of me life, \nSingin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch! \n\nSingin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch! \nSingin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch! \nRoll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a boll, singin' roll a-bowl a ball a penny a pitch! \n\nInstumental \n\nI've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts (They're lovely!) \nThere they are a standing in a row. \n(One, two, three, four) \nBig ones, small ones, some as big as your head \n(And bigger) \nGive 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist, thats what the showman said. \n\nNow that hoi've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts. \n(La-da-de-da-da) \nHevery ball you throw will make me rich. \n(Have a banana) \nThere stands me wife, the idol of me life, \nSingin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch! \n\nAll together now! \n\nSingin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch! \n(Harmony!) \nSingin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch! \nRoll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball, singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch. \n\nInstumental \n\nSingin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

I know that the music was by David Munro - but Im unsure of the title.

Try The Tossers who are more similar to The Pogues.  The Real McKenzies are more in the earlier DKM mold.  The Dubliners are an older, more traditional Irish music band, but you've probably heard some of their songs done by other bands.\n\nThe Tossers latest album (Valley of the Shadow of Death) is really good, as is The Real McKenzies's "10.000 Shots".

It's called "Things" and is originally by Bobby Darin ('62) and covered by Dean Martin ('63). A few other artists have covered it - see the link below for more details.

I can't be 100% sure, but I think you're talking about Eric Prydz and "Call On Me", which featured a sample of Steve Winwood's "Valerie" ("call me, call on meeeeeeee, call me, call on meeeeee" etc. etc.) You can check the link in my "source" to see if that's it.

Er, not quite... Mawg and Sky Kay from the Toyes (another Jamaican reggae group) wrote the tune, after Bob was dead.  Mr. Marley seems to be doing well since his death, I've heard "Don't Worry, Be Happy," by Bobby McFerrin circa 1986, accredited to Marley, who died in 1981.\n\nEdit: For the love of all that is good and just, dont' trust whatever artist Limewire credits.  People just put whatever on the file, regardless of the truth.  It's the Toyes, plain and simple.  1996 release (entitled "The Toyes"), after Bob's death.
