I might be the only one (and I'm impressed I got it) to get number 1 - I love this song!
1. "I Can't Take My Eyes Off You" - Melanie Doane.
It's hard recognising quotes, unless you happen to read it and hear it in your head with the same rhythm and cadence of the song. As I read "So dear to me",I didn't just hear the spoken words, I heard them sung!
5. This Flight Tonight - Joni Mitchell
*much clapping of paws of Bears*
OK Bye

10: Tori Amos, The Wrong Band.
This is driving me crazy. Some sound so familiar, but I can't quite place it. And some I knew, but the answer was already there! Why?
I do know #6, because I am a proud parrothead. "Cheeseburger in Paradise!"
Isn't #3 the Beach Boys?
I am also here for the Tori Amos song...
:)
The Wrong Band. And it kinda still counts because it wasn't in the main post yet - right?
I am putting the answers as people get them. I will post the rest on Sunday night if anyone wants to try again. :-)
