Leave your answers in comments. I'll mark them off as people get them.
Hints will be provided if necessary.
The person with the most correct gets the gold star of his or her choice!
I believe #2 is KC and the Sunshine Band, “Boogie Shoes”.
#7 is the Clash, “Rock the Casbah”.
Or, as we used to sing, “Rock the Cash Bar”.
#14 is the Dan, “Peg”.
#15 is SVR, “Pride and Joy”
Um, that’s SRV, “Pride and Joy”.
#18 is Smokey, “Tracks of my Tears”.
Sweet soul music, baby.
#20 is Steve Miller Band, “Wild Mountain Honey”.
#17 is Tull — “Thick As A Brick”?
a fine start!
#7 is not the Clash, howevah.
#10 Beatles, “She’s So Heavy”. It took a minute to place that Hofner bass sound.
12 – Rick Springfield – Jessie’s Girl
Russell got all the ones I knew. I am thinking #7 is “Hungry Like The Wolf” by Duran Duran or another of their songs.
…or “Girls on Film”
I am disadvantaged by not being able to go to iTunes or YouTube here at work.
i sometimes use Allmusic.com for quick samples
Went back and listened again
Let’s try a few more:
#3 “This Charming Man” The Smiths
#6 “Faeries Wear Boots” Black Sabbath
#13 “Master of Puppets” Metallica
#3 “This Charming Man” The Smiths
nice. i was expecting that to be the tough one.
The hint for number 1 made it pretty easy:
Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi’s Dead
The hint for 4 made it pretty easy too:
Rolling Stones – Dear Doctor
Yay for another hint. I thought #5 was Beastie Boys, but couldn’t place it.
Beastie Boys – Egg Man
#9: “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” Bob Dylan
#16 is the Siamese Cat song from Lady and the Tramp.
…oh, I suppose to be completely correct and within the rules:
“The Siamese Cat Song” — Peggy Lee (as Si and Am)
Peggy Lee? cool. i did not know that.
i’d award bonus points, if i could.
Peggy Lee? cool. i did not know that.

Cris gets the gold star. Hands down.
