Good spot @sskicker, this clue has been sponsored by the current Pepsi commercial ;).

No need to be unsure, you're correct, even down to the correct spelling of "Smokie". And I'm going to fail to resist the temptation to mention Roy "Chubby" Brown's version of this song here ;)

Another good spot, onaree, for this song which regularly falls victim to Pop Idol / American Idol contestants....

#14 - I don't recall that particular Python song, how does it go? You are absolutely on the right lines, the word I have in mind is singular and non-gender specific....

#4 and #5 are both correct, #14 is a perfectly valid answer but it's not the one I'm looking for, so as it's my quiz I'm going to keep this one open!

No, no...not at all!
Ye Gods - memories of the 'cider' days (I think everyone goes through a phase...), don't imagine I was listening to The Floyd though, more than likely some crummy ol' pirate radio station...
Anyways, one more and I'm hanging the grey matter out to dry...

Sorry to hear that Lesley, hope you are on the mend :)
And you're right on #3 of course.
My daughter (6 at the time) and I used to enjoy singing along to "Teenage Dirtbag" on the car radio, which I thought was harmless fun until she was a bridesmaid at her uncle's wedding. At the wedding party disco she was boogying on the dance floor in her beautiful dress, looking angelic, until this song came on and I was horrified to see her standing there belting out "I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby!". Her mother was not impressed.
