Thank you for snatching those. :(
I do think #83 is Ottawan. I seem to recall Jason mentioning that the song didn't chart when it was originally released in 1981. ???
The song title for #37 is One More Try
For some reason I believe #53 to be Rag Doll by Aerosmith, but I could be mistaken.
The artist for #56 is Rod Stewart - can't think of the song, but it does sound familiar...
#73: Tunnel Of Love - Bruce Springsteen
And finally #81 is David Lee Roth, don't recognize the song straightaway.

Well, if it is, it's certainly a departure from the version I (and possibly you) know and 'love'...

Everything correct except for #53 and #83
We did get Ottawan, but not until the late 80s. I was going to put it in this quiz, but it was an airplay only hit, thus doesn't show up in the Singles chart so I wasn't sure if it peaked in '88 or '89. So I included this alternate version ...
I think Jason mentioned a remix of some sort. :-\\ Wasn't it used in a commercial? Or was it a movie? I wish I could remember...
... which was a remix yes, by a group from Toronto. It began as the theme song for Club Med advertisements on TV until popular demand made it a single in Canada, and eventually also saw release in several international markets (UK, Germany, Netherlands ...)
