I'm stumped by these, too.  :(

It's nice to see you making a quiz, stingr...I only wish I could partake in it.

That was one of my favorite songs and I still sing it to myself sometimes. It's funny how I got the hard one but come up lame on all the rest. At first glance, I thought #5 was "The Girl From Ipanema" :-[

Thanks CF!  Once a couple of the remaining ones get answered, you may recognize them.  The "bluriness" will become clear!  Thanks again!  :)
