Hi, folks! As I seem to have a bad track record of designing quizzes that get completed, I decided to design one with no theme except that I let my iTunes play songs and excerpted lyrics that seemed gettable from thirty of them. Let's see if I proved intuitive in that respect! Give the title and artist. Don't cheat. Have fun!

Beginning limit = Five (5) Answer the lot of them if you like

The remaining answers are in. Thanks for playing all!

Hm...a bit on the late side, but here's a couple...

#20. 'Santa Baby' - Eartha Kitt

#25. 'You Can Make Me Dance, Sing, Or Anything' - Faces

...or, to give it it's full title (ready?)

'You Can Make Me Dance, Sing, Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings')

...but they had trouble fitting it into the song!

Late as usual, but I got one!

I've taken the limit off this one

Bumping this one with some hints

A few more hints up!

No 18. Those lyrics are soo familiar, can you give a further clue please.

From you hints & clues I've derived the following:

#2: No Myth - Micahel Penn

#9: is a song by Joe Jackson. I'm sure I don't know the song.

#12: is I guess a song by Black Box. I've no idea which one it was that was a hit in US - it could be either one of the six that were charted over here. Is it Strike It Up? :-\\

#18: is a song by Led Zeppelin. Sorry, don't know the title.

#26: must be Dusty Springfield. Again, don't know which song.

#9 - it is Joe Jackson!
#12 - Sorry, the Box part is right, but it's not Black Box (but I'll give ya their US chart stats below)
#18 - That's the group!
#26 - She's the one!

Black Box had these hits:
1990: Everybody Everybody - #8
1990: I Don't Know Anybody Else - #23
1991: Strike It Up - #8
