10. There are 3 songs by 3 different acts with that title. I narrowed it down to two because I don’t think you are referring to Ashford and Simpson. So that leaves it between The Rembrandts and Bon Jovi. Eeny, meeny, miney, mo…The Rembrandts!
Yesterday I meant to acknowledge Layla's beating Malcolm and I on the Led Zeppelin question. Way to go Layla!

malc,
good guess on number 5, but you only had a 33% chance if you were guessing. it's amazing how many people don't know the america has been a duo for the last 30 years. stellar job.
pjazz,
another solid performance, above and beyond. i had completely forgot about the O'Jays song and to be honest, had never even considered anything outside of the rembrants. my daughter has all 10 seasons of friends on dvd and i hear that song 2-3 times a day.
beck,
i'm falling down on the job here - i completely forgot about DC Cab (although if you've seen the movie, it's very forgettable. and i'm glad you like "Turn Back the Hands of Time." it's a GREAT song.
Excellent job today, folks. As I compile the questions, i ususally listen to the music and let me tell you, it is usually my favorite time of day.
Tomorrow: Fantastic FRIDAY. Have a great one!
Editor, you have a good weekend and I will stop by on Monday.
Editor: Thanks! The only two America members I could come up with were Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell. Since I knew that Gerry didn't fly the coop, I went the other way. I wasn't even sure that I had Dewey's name right, lol.
The Irene Cara question had me stumped for a minute. I came up with Flashdance right away and had actually started to type D.C. Cab as my second answer. Even as I was typing, I was sure I was forgetting something obvious because Irene's song in D.C. Cab (The Dream) wasn't a huge hit. I don't know what triggered it, but Fame came to me shortly thereafter.
It sounds like you have as much fun putting together your quizzes as I do mine. I'll see you on Friday.
Editor,
What am I thinking. I will see you on Friday.
Malcolm,
Fame was the first song I thought of by Irene Cara when I read the question. I don't even remember the song from D. C. Cab. She had another minor minor hit from Fame entitled "Out Here On My Own".
