The group of #6 is the Midnighters.
#7 is actually titled "Good Timin'" (you know it had to start with a "G", now, didn't you?)
And the other two are correct.

Well, I can tell you that the song begins with an "E".  If you had the "Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary" game cartridge for the original Nintendo Entertainment System, the song appears in the game somewhere!
