Hi, karen... :)
I can give you #2 and #20...but you only get partial credit on #6 because you only gave the artist...

I actually modified my post and added #12 Do Ya Think I'm Sexy - Rod Stewart.

#8: I remember the "sprang into action" part of the lyric from "Rat Trap" by The Boomtown Rats...is that correct?
I never could decipher what Bob was singing in the first part of that line....
