#1 – Beatles, “Got to Get You Into My Life”
#2 – Johnny Cash, “Get Rhythm”
#4 – Britney Spears, “Oops, I Did It Again” (I was going to say that I was ashamed to know that, but then I realized that you should be more ashamed for putting it in your quiz.)
#5 – The Who, “There’s A Doctor I’ve Found”
#6 – Rolling Stones, “Paint It Black”
#7 – Billy Joel, “Captain Jack”
#8 – Cole Porter, “I Get a Kick Out of You”
#9 – Bruce Springsteen, “The Ghost of Tom Joad”
#10 – Iggy Pop, “The Passenger”
And here I thought I’d be able to give everyone else a vacation this week, too, but I have no clue about #3. Harumph.
3. “Song for Myla Goldberg” by The Decemberists
And I knew 1, 6 and 8 too, but was apparently tardy.
Good job, Eric B.!
Aw, nuts – I knew one this time…#6!
