Quite correct.

Holicman- Look at the puzzles I've given.
Then think about song titles that begin with the letter "G".

When you think you have a guess, the post it.

Hope this helps! 8)

I see that I only got half a point for #14 Hawk, which on reflection is correct. I was thinking of the Jamiroquai song "Deeper Underground" which was on the soundtrack to the "Godzilla" movie a few years ago. I guess the artist you must be looking for who recorded the song titled "Godzilla" was Blue Oyster Cult.

Sorry, I was excited by the prospect of a totally different kind of quiz, and it was further excited by the consumption of alcohol at the time I replied.

Sorry.
