15. Wisconsin (Gordon Lightfoot, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which will be in my head all night now...)

26. L.A. (Sammy Hagar, I Can't Drive 55)

#17 is Dancing in the streets.
The George Strait or Willie Nelson songs. I know country music as much as I know about great female midget Luxembourg comedians from the 1890s. :D
So, hope someone else answers them.
