Was 5 by the Barron Knights?
Subject: Re: Another parody lyrics quiz
#4 sounds like a parody by S.T.G., I'm guessing it's "Fast Food Paradise" parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio. It may also be "All the Cravings", but I don't think that's it.

No - by a Brummie comedian who came to fame in the 70s and had an 80s hit which was only a hit because of the 'B' side... that's probably enough of a clue ;-)
