3) "Me and Bobby McGee," Janis Joplin (Now I'm laughing because every time I think of Kris Kristofferson, I just think of WATCH CLOSELY NOWWWWW!)
4) Arrrrghhhh...I can totally picture that video, but can't think of who the backup dancer is.
5) "Private Eyes?"
6) ?
7) "Jump" and "Purple Rain?"
8) Captain Lou Albano
9) I think it was Wal-Mart and I can't remember the name of that album. So Long or Long Gone or Long in the Tooth, something like that.
10) Rick Springfield
"Watch Closley Now" IS hilarious and so is the buffoonery of Gary Busey. Did you know that Elvis Presley was Barbara's first choice to play Kristofferson's part (and it probably would have saved his life because he was planning on getting in shape), but Col Parker could not come to financial terms and since Streisand was financing the movie herself, she looked for other options (just a bit of extensive music trivia on the house).
Good job!
