Gaylon  (Vincent - Don McLean)

7. "Chewing on a piece of grass, walking down the road"
Gaylon  (Ventura Highway - America)

8. "And like all these really great shoe stores"
Bobo  (Valley Girl - Frank Zappa)

9. "Native these words seem to me"
AV 

10. "I'm the same boy I used to be"

11. "Ginger Rogers, dance on air"
gemini  (Vogue - Madonna)

12. "A room full of noise and dangerous boys"
Joelle  (Victim Of Love - The Eagles)

13. "Surely the things I ask can't be too great a task"
Paul  (Venus - Frankie Avalon)

14. "Can't seem to get my mind off of you"
LB15  (Vacation - The Go-Go's)

15. "I need to learn the golden rule"
Indy 

16. "And all the time she laughs at those who shout her name and steal her clothes"

2. Valotte - Julian Lennon
8. Valley Girls - Frank Zappa

One more appears immediately to be obvious, but I'll limit myself for now.

Hi Karen...amazing how you pulled this one off - there can't be too many 'V' songs knocking about...

#10. 'Valerie' - Steve Winwood (one of my favourites...)
#13. 'Venus' - Frankie Avalon
#20. 'Vehicle' - Ides Of March (another good one...)


Before I get carried away, three was the limit, was it?

Thanks, Paul!  Yes, there certainly aren't that many 'V' songs!

#10. 'Valerie' - Steve Winwood (one of my favourites...)
#13. 'Venus' - Frankie Avalon
#20. 'Vehicle' - Ides Of March (another good one...)

Sorry that I'd forgotten to set the limit.  Yes, 3 it is!  And your three are 100% correct!  8)

3 for 3, Niko101!  :)

And as for #5...songs that begin with 'A' are filed in an index the same way as songs that start with 'The'...in other words, that first word is dropped.  So I felt justified in using this one.  ;)
