I know that #21 is "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by Journey...but I don't know what #22 is yet. I'll just have to keep looking!

And #16 is "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys.

And I think #3 is "A Million Miles Away" by the Plimsouls

Hi, Andrea!

It's great to see you making a quiz again!!  :D 8)


Most of the ones I know have already been taken...but here are three...

6. Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band
10. Little Jeannie - Sir Elton John
12. Night Fever - Bee Gees

About number 3...now that I look at the line again, it isn't the exact lyric from that song anyway.

So I'm guessing that song number 15 will start with "East", but I don't know too many such songs. Maybe someone else will know it. :-\\

Well, I know #5 is "Angel" by Aerosmith.
I'll have to work on the others.

Your Pal,
Doc

A quick note: I had a typo in #18 which I just noticed a few minutes ago.  It was severe enough that you might wanna take a second look now that I fixed it. :-[

I hate it when I type faster than I think.
