Name That Tune #15

It's over! I've unhidden the comments, and now we await the answers from MikeJ...stay tuned!


MikeJ put together a new Name That Tune for us!


You know how it goes: there are twenty song clips below, from twenty different songs, from twenty different artists (?). Name the song and the artist.

I'm going to play this one, too, since I don't know what the songs are, either.

Rules

  1. You get 1 point if you name the song.
  2. You get 1 point if you name the artist.
  3. Therefore, you get two points if you name both.
  4. Leave your answers in comments.
  5. Your answers will be hidden (mine included) from everyone but MikeJ.
  6. The contest ends on Friday, November 19th, 12:00pm EST (GMT -4). I'll reveal the comments, and the answers, and total up the points, then.
  7. Maybe MikeJ will provide hints ?
  8. The person with the most points will win a wonderful prize !
