Inspired by Shameless' previous quiz (except this is alot easier)

Below you will find the first few lines of a song that I have in my music library. All you have to do is identify the title and artist of each song. One point for each. If you identify a different artist who's also recorded/released that song I'll give you half a point but only if no-one else has already guessed the one I was thinking of, and only for the first other artist. If someone else (or you!) identifies the artist I was thinking of they(you)'ll get the other half of that point.

Of course using Google is cheating.

If any one person gets them all right before anyone else they get a mint condition vintage Ferrari Daytona and an all expenses paid trip to Margate*

6 spitfire - the prodigy featuring juliet lewis
8 bullet in the head - rage against the machine
10 should i stay or should i go - t-rex?
13 - blondie
19 the a team theme - not a scooby who performed it
23 my generation - the who (and i have a horrible feeling that someone like mcfly or busted covered this as well)
27 song 2 - blur
34 - beatles
40 ebeneezer good - the shamen (if that's right, i'll be fucking impressed)

[SILV3R]

Do it! Its a good laugh

25. You Drove Me To It - Hell is for Heroes

Incidentally, if someone were to ask me to name my number one favourite tune, I'd say it's this song*.




*Though I'd be lying, because I could never make that definitive a determination about the subject. But this is as close as it gets.

40 ebeneezer good - the shamen (if that's right, i'll be fucking impressed)

Man, if that's right, I'll buy you an ice cream.

ooo! just had a revelation about number 13. i can see why i said blondie, but i realise where i'm wrong: it was Texas. or at least charlene spiteri (seriously, am i supposed to remember how that is actually spelled?).

[SILV3R]

and is number 10 actually called something like the joker?

[SILV3R]

and...ahem - "Roger Daltrey recorded the track with British band McFly in 2005 for the charity Teenage Cancer Trust. The track was released exclusively through the HMV's download site."

taken from the eponymous wikipedia article.

although, having read said article, i probably should have remembered one of the other bands who covered it as i own a copy of it. not mentioning names for now in case anyone else remembers it.

Nope, artist is alot more famous

You did get the song right for 10, but not the artist

[SILV3R]

umm

[Psymon]

Hmm i never considered the possibility that two songs began with exactly the same three words!
You can have another two points.

Number 10. is revised to:

10. Bright Light City, gonna set my soul

[Shameless]
