*** Since I made changes to the format after posting, I think we'll call this one a practice. Exxy wins with 7 correct and an extra point for the Johnny Depp connection.

these may be easy or hard depending on your age I guess. I'd be happy to specialize by decade, genre, artist or whatever if anybody wants.

1. The Police.
2. Steve Miller Band
3. Tom Petty
4. Joni Mitchell
5. Pink Floyd
I got half of them. Do I win anything? Did I win the kangaroo for the last contest?
Can you name the song titles?
The other contest (guess my raise)is still open as results aren't in yet
#8 is Eminem, Lose Yourself.
and is the Police song De Do Do Do De Da etc?
Big Yellow Taxi from Joni Mitchell is the song that a friend of mine heard gay paradise instead of paved paradise and I wasn't sure if I should correct him.
#2 take the money and run
#8...john cena?
#10 RUSH!
I expected Illidge would get number 10 but also number 6, which he missed.
When I was double checking that Joni Mitchell actually wrote Big Yellow Taxi (Dillan also recorded it) I came across a comment about how it was so sad her father left her...took me a second to figure it out. "...big yellow taxi took away my old man" I'm pretty sure by "old man" she meant husband or partner (possibly James Taylor).
Since the answers were given for the rest, #3 is "Into the Great Wide Open." The video for which featured everyone's favorite pirate and fuck-fantasy, Johnny Depp.
#5 is "Have a Cigar," for which I have no commentary because I hate Pink Floyd.
I probably should have thought it out a bit better. I added the blue headings for "Song:" after Exxy's first answers when I realized I had been vague, otherwise I'm sure she would have got them all.
But it's still only 5/10 so only half a kangaroo will be awarded.
Woo hoo, I wins!!!!
Is the half-kangaroo going to look like your bunny, Lenny?
