Hmmm...think I'll have to pass on this one. :-\\ 

None of the lyrics look/sound familiar (but that doesn't mean to say I don't know the songs). Sorry, Patty. :(

Karma + a big hooray.  I love a quiz!

#7 is "Come Dancin'"

#20 is "Sky High" by Jigsaw

Since you did not supply the artist name on that one, I will gladly do so. It's The Kinks. :)

#22 is "Closing Time" by Semisonic.
#6 is "Into The Night" by Benny Mardones.

That only equals 2 1/2 for me, so I cannot answer another full song title and artist (although I do know at least a couple more), cuz that would put me 1/2 over the limit.
