Hi, Gis...

Your answers for #3 and #16 are almost right, but you left out part of the title on each...

#3 is actually 'Summer Nights'...and #16 is '2-4-6-8 Motorway'... :)

Also, you left out the number for the Elton John song...

...we'll go ahead and give that one to you this time, but please don't forget in the future!  ;)

7 | Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
17 | Young Turks - Rod Stewart

#23 A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Annie Lennox (?)
#33 Special Lady - Ray Goodman & Brown
#37 Better Be Good To Me - Tina Turner

You're excused, then!  ;)

I know who the correct artist is for #23!...but I can't say it, as I have already used up my limit. Hopefully someone else will know it! :)

I had no idea he helped you...but I'll be sure to thank him! :)

Must be Procol Harum then. I assumed they made it to #1 (they did so twice in The Netherlands), that's why I answered Annie Lennox.
