I’ll take the easy ones:

16: Mellow Yellow, by Donavon

18: Old World Underground, by Metric

19: I think that’s a killers song, but it isn’t the first line…

I didn’t get 8 I’m afraid, even though you said I should!

16: Correct

18: Not actually the name of the song, but it’s too easy for anyone else now so I’ll give you that one. The first song on the album “Old World Underground” is actually called “IOU”.

19: The version that came up on last.fm was a dance remix… and it did begin like that. Perhaps I should have found the original instead. I’ll fix it now.

EVERYONE should get number 8. But perhaps you are a bit too young for the film I’m thinking of where I first heard it.

2. is Breathe by Pink Floyd, from Dark Side of the Moon.

(I also recognised one of the ones Jimmy got, too.)

Oh, number 8., of course, is Johnny B. Goode.

Sorry, I didn’t mention an artist for Johnny B. Goode. Original was Chuck Berry, of course, but it’s been recorded by many, many people including the Beatles - and wasn’t it sung by the lead in the film Back to the Future?

DC: Correct about Johnny B. Goode, and yes, I first heard it in Back To The Future.

2 is not Pink Floyd — That would have begun “Breathe, breathe in the air /
Dont be afraid to care” which is very very similar to the lyrics of the song that actually played. Interesting that they are so similar. Different artist, different track!

19 is ‘Read my Mind’ by ‘The Killers’

Sarah: Correct.

I think 14 and 15 are now the most obvious unsolved ones.

Wow. I’m very curious about track 2 now.
