15. Men Without Hats, "Safety Dance"
24. U2, "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

It would seem you are much better at this game than I am!

[srturtle.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately #15 is incorrect, even though the first line sounds the same. The key here is the spelling, but it's a more obscure song by a popular 80s musician.

#24 is correct! I would have accepted either MDFMK or U2.

I'm not sure I'm better at this game. I just obsess over music. You're probably better off in the long run. ;) lol

2. Planet Schmanet Janet (I think that's the "real" name of it?), Rocky Horror Picture Show
6. Invincible, OK Go
8. Cherry Poppin' Daddy Strut, Cherry Poppin' Daddies
9. Jesus He Knows Me, Genesis
17. Howard Hughes, Rasputina
24. Sunday Bloody Sunday, U2
32. Hey Man Nice Shot, Filter


I don't know 46, but did Vladimir Putin write it and dedicate it to Sarah Palin? .... sorry, I couldn't help it.

[srturtle.livejournal.com]

LOL! Awww, Putin has a crush on Palin! I could totally see it.

Correct on all counts. Again I would have accepted either MDFMK or U2 for #24, and either Tsunami Bomb, RHPS, or Richard O'Brien for #2.

45) Asshole - Jim's Big Ego

I know I should recognize more of these, but I'm not awake yet...might take a stab again later.

[srturtle.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I'm surprised you didn't get #1, too. ;)

[quantumswordsmn.livejournal.com]

Oh geez, your right.

1) I think the title is Seven Minutes - Jim's Big Ego

[srturtle.livejournal.com]

Close enough for unpop! ;)

[srturtle.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately #15 is not Safety Dance, even though the line sounds the same. The spelling is the key. I might have to award half-credit on this one. It's tricksy!

#40 is definitely New Order, so you're on the right track! :D

[quantumswordsmn.livejournal.com]

Ahh, here we go...

3) Hells Bells - AC/DC
13) Lay your body down - Poison

[srturtle.livejournal.com]

Correct!
