Good luck!
1 – Uptown Girl – Billy Joel
#7 seems kind of familiar as well, but I can’t place it yet. I’m probably just imagining it.
#3 is the Shane/Sinead duet “Haunted”. Lovely tune.
Pretty sure #10 is the Indigo Girls’ “Secure Yourself.” Dang, now I kind of want to get my old albums out.
4. I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
6. I *think* is one Jeff Bridges sings in Crazy Heart… Falling and Flying or something like that
7. Is it wrong that I only know this as the theme to the Drew Carey Show? Cleveland Rocks I believe is the title. I want to say it was the Presidents of the USofA but I’m pretty sure they weren’t the original artists
That’s where I first heard the song, too, so it’s not wrong. I like the Presidents’ version, but I think I prefer Ian Hunter’s original.
