Let's see...
8. "Not Guilty" by Bryan Adams?

[damara.livejournal.com]

Yup, you got that one right!

[courtly.livejournal.com]

I'm READING livejournal today, and so I'm reading backwards from now into the past... so this is the first time I've seen this if it's a meme... do we just blurt out the answers? I think I know:

#1 and #7 of course, but I'd be FIRED from my post if I didn't, right?

#4 and #5, I think. #16, #21, and #24 also. I'm being TICKLED by #19... I think I SHOULD know it.

[damara.livejournal.com]

Yup, just blurt out the answers, and I'll give you credit. ;)

Alery has the actual instructions for the meme in her LJ somewhere. ;)

[courtly.livejournal.com]

OK I simply CANNOT claim #1 and #7 ... that would be CHEATING.

#4: "Wasn't that a Party" by ... uh... Paxton something? All I can think of is Diana but she's an author.

#5: "How Bizarre" by OMC (whatever happened to them?)

#16: Avril Lavigne ... damn, what is that song CALLED? (going through it in my head) Complicated! Right. Have I ever told you I *STINK* for remember artists and song names?

#21: I have to NAME it? It's the Chipmunks, but I have NO idea what the song is CALLED.

#24: "We Belong" and I can sing you most of the song, but it took me a LEEEETLE bit of cheating with Google to remember it was Pat B.

19 is still teasing me.

[otonabee.livejournal.com]

Here are the two that I knew...

#4 is Wasn't That a Party by Irish Rovers
#16 is Complicated by Avril Lavine (so there courtly ;)

Cheers!

[damara.livejournal.com]

So you got the song for 4, and the group for 21.

And you got 5, 24 and 16 right. Let me know if you get 19. :)

[damara.livejournal.com]

Yup, those are both right!

[courtly.livejournal.com]

#21 - is it "Christmas don't be late"? (That's in the chorus right?)

[damara.livejournal.com]

That is in the chorus, but it's not the actual name. Believe it or not, the name of this song is not in the lyrics...

[courtly.livejournal.com]

Then I'm utterly lost. :)

[damara.livejournal.com]

Let's see if anyone else gets it ... if not, I'll eventually post all the songs and singers.

[myrynvalona.livejournal.com]

#7 is United At War, by Heather Dale.

[damara.livejournal.com]

Yes, ma'am. It surely is! Well done!

[courtly.livejournal.com]

Ok, I guess it falls to me to identify #1 as Road to Santiago by Mrs. Westergaard! (cough cough, yeah, you can see why she kept her name, huh?).

[damara.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Yes, that's of course right. ;)
